I developed Partly, a side-project that uses Dreambooth and Stable Diffusion, built with Elixir and Phoenix LiveView.
Partly allows users to submit 10-15 photos of themselves or someone they know, which are then pre-processed and used to train a custom AI model with Dreambooth.
The model is then used to render 10 artworks each in 22 different styles (220 images in total), and the resulting images are post-processed, upscaled, and converted to webp format before being delivered to the user via email.
Despite the recent popularity of similar services, I believe the unique styles offered by Partly set it apart. Either way, it was a fun project and I'm happy with how it turned out.
Not sure, but I wouldn't be too surprised if any of the FAANG companies have a team and play recreationally. Haven't heard of any full-size league though. We had a team at university, but only played against each other and never in full capacity. Nowadays, everyone seem hooked on Padel Easier to coordinate a meetup with 4 grown-ups vs. 12, I guess.
I'm looking for someone interested in joining my project Podopi (podopi.com). It's a SaaS that helps website owners add audio versions of their blog posts, and publish it as a podcast on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts and more.
The app is written in Elixir and I work solo on dev/design, but have a co-founder that focuses on marketing and growth. Get in touch if you'd like to hear more!
Podopi was built in Elixir, a functional programming language I've never used before. Elixir is widely different from JavaScript/NodeJS and the tools I'm used to. It made the learning curve quite steep, but somewhere halfway down the path it all started to "click" for me. Elixir is a beautiful language that comes with many benefits from running on the BEAM (Erlang virtual machine). Phoenix/Elixir comes packed with many great features that makes it possible to ship products and features quickly, with confidence.
You can find my blog at https://ultimatemachine.se - It's pretty awesome if you're interested in human peak performance, building and running SaaS-products as an Indie Hacker or software engineering in general. I recently quit my CTO job to pursue a solo career building fun & useful products and services with software.
