While I currently use SD.Next[1], I have tested ComfyUI locally with my AMD card. The UI can be daunting, but you learn quite a great deal about how a Stable Diffusion pipeline works. In addition some innovations and advances find their way into ComfyUI first.

While I believe learning ComfyUI is challenging, but it becomes much simpler when you understand the underlying workings. In the long run, I am more optimistic about ComfyUI. It's worth investing.

>I am more optimistic about ComfyUI

I've got a few hundred hours in both auto and comfy, and I think the two UIs solve fundamentally different problems. I think I maybe even agree with your statement in the same way I think Linux has a brighter future than Windows, but they'll both be around for a long time, and they are both incredibly useful.

I read almost all of this, and am kind of torn on this ressource: On one hand this is a great introduction to ComfyUI, including concepts and possibilities, and it really IS helpful for getting started. Thanks to the authors for putting in the work!

That said, some of the information, especially regarding the more technical parts, is somewhat misleading (debatable, simplification is hard), and at times outright false (e.g. "This method is called LoRA (Loopy Recurrent Attention)"… what?), so don't make it your only source of info. Eg. I found this also helpful: https://blenderneko.github.io/ComfyUI-docs/

Edit: Sorry I was on phone and missed the hamburger menu with index of pages.

Original comment: I dont understand what this is. Following links didn't lead me anywhere. Clicked comflowy link and it opened the same website but in Chinese. There is discord link which I am not clicking. Is main thing being promoted here a discord group?

There is fancy UI in screenshot which I don't know where I can access. This page offers nothing otherwise other than promise of a discord group.

Thank you very much for your feedback, our website should be in English by default, something might have gone wrong. We will immediately look into what the reason is.

In addition, our website indeed lacks guidance, thank you very much for your suggestion.

Our product is divided into two parts: - one is the ComfyUI and SD tutorial, for example :https://www.comflowy.com/basics/stable-diffusion-foundation#... - and the second is an open-source ComfyUI product (currently under development):https://www.comflowy.com/space

What does comfyUI use for flow diagrams/no-code stuff? I've been using react-flow but have been thinking about writing one from scratch that is more intune to my needs.

We are also using react-flow. We have tried numerous frameworks, but eventually returned to react-flow.

It's litegraph.js [1] and seems to be the only lib they include in /web [2] :

This is fantastic! I use comfyui and it has been a game changer for my creation workflow. I’m certain I’ll be using it even more effectively after reading through this. Thanks!

I can’t work out what comfyui is about. What’s it’s purpose?

ComfyUI is an open source interface for interacting with StableDiffusion image generation models. It is probably the most common interface for power users and uses a “nodes” style programming interface like Unreal Engine.

this is a really well written docs page

The explanation on how Stable Diffusion works here is great: https://www.comflowy.com/basics/stable-diffusion-foundation

I'm still looking for a simple installer for comfyUI... A brew command or a DMG would be great

You can use Pinokio: https://pinokio.computer/

We are developing a similar product, please look forward to it.https://www.comflowy.com/space

What’s the catch? Why not just push this upstream?

Thanks for your feedback. Your confusion arose due to a problem with the website design, our website indeed lacks guidance.

Our product is divided into two parts:

- [1] is the ComfyUI and SD tutorial, for example :https://www.comflowy.com/basics/stable-diffusion-foundation

- [2]and the second is an open-source ComfyUI product (currently under development):https://www.comflowy.com/space
