Title: Just go to the link and click on &quot;Start Creating&quot;. No signing in required.<p>I built shortbread to help anyone to create comics &#x2F; manga series. The onboarding process helps you kick start a page from 60%, then you can use your creativity to bring it to 1000% in a fully-controllable editor.<p>Tech stack:<p>GPT 3.5 Turbo  - the comic script generation. It handled everything from layout, character, scene, SD prompts, to dialogue.<p>SD 1.5  - We put up SD servers on GCP. For every comic we generate one large image and crop it into panels. Per the experiments of u&#x2F;Deathmarkedadc on Reddit, this massively helps with consistency. The models are trained on anime scenes tho, and might not be so great with animals.<p>Frontend: Next.js 13 on Vercel, React + Typescript. We built the entire editor from scratch to compose the comic (images, panels, speech bubbles, text) like a webpage. This allows you to edit and republish your comics like a website. 
You can dynamically generate panels as well. Try resizing a panel into a long narrow box and generate.<p>Backend: Firebase.<p>Sample comics:<p>a japanese couple sits at dinner table. The husband told the wife a secret (link <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;create.shortbread.ai&#x2F;viewer&#x2F;debdf25c-3f95-492a-952a-3098e0044bf5_2">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;create.shortbread.ai&#x2F;viewer&#x2F;debdf25c-3f95-492a-952a-...</a>)<p>An army of male soldiers fighting against an army of female soldiers in ancient china (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;create.shortbread.ai&#x2F;viewer&#x2F;4566613c-7146-4ed7-9b8d-85bcd2e58785_2">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;create.shortbread.ai&#x2F;viewer&#x2F;4566613c-7146-4ed7-9b8d-...</a>)<p>a team of girls play volleyball against a team of boys (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;create.shortbread.ai&#x2F;viewer&#x2F;aafc2f61-d008-4f3f-aa8f-62d87080d66b_2">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;create.shortbread.ai&#x2F;viewer&#x2F;aafc2f61-d008-4f3f-aa8f-...</a> )<p>Next steps:<p>- More pages<p>- Fine panel-level control. Poses, control net, etc.<p>- Multi-character.<p>- Different styles.<p>-  Allows you to control character design.<p>I’m Fengjiao Peng, founder and chief engineer at Shortbread. I was previously a webtoon artist. We want to build this into something you can create entire comics series &#x2F; manga &#x2F; webtoons with. Criticism and suggestions welcome!
