@dmarx Hey, I would like to work on this issue, so before I start working on it, would you mind sparing your time explaining what the issue is about? as I'm new to this .

[dmarx]

yeah no problem!

Those are platforms that offer free hosting for small demos of AI webapps. Was thinking it might be nice to add a few image generation (or very short animation) demos with different pytti presets

For an example what this might look like, here's a replicate demo for pixray, a tool that has a lot of features in common with pytti. note how their replicate demo is heavily simplified, optimizing for end-user ease-of-use over configurability: https://replicate.com/pixray/text2image

Related to this: I was separately thinking it might be nice to have some extremely minimal notebooks people could use to do various specific things with pytti, i.e. notebooks with opinionated presets and few exposed options: https://github.com/pytti-tools/pytti-notebook/tree/main/ezmode

demos on replicate or spaces would serve essentially the same purpose as these "ezmode" notebooks, but would also require some minimal additional UI development (i.e. a few gradio components in a streamlit app).

If you were interested in authoring some "ezmode" notebooks, that would be slightly lower effort (much simpler UI dev via colab's "forms" UI tools) and it would be easy to migrate these to demo webapps.
