MostArt: a new AI image generator

Hello,

My company (which is just myself and my co-founder, Charlie) just launched a new AI art generator called MostArt.

It's built using React on the front end, Node/Express on the back end, and uses MongoDB as the database. Media generated through the AI API is stored on Amazon S3 and those URLs are saved to the database.

I was at a point where I was thinking about subscribing to Midjourney again to generate some images, but then an idea struck me. What if I could build an art generator myself?

I found an API called Replicate (replicate.com) which allows you to call AI models through an API and you get billed by the second. This is a major advantage as opposed to running several models separately in a Docker container or in a pod on a service like RunPod, which charge you per hour and the container or pod has to be running the whole time.

There is a bit of a cold start issue with longer generations (like videos) but these models take a while to run anyway so it's not necessarily a big deal.

The product was built in under 2 weeks and is rather basic but gets the job done. The design needs work for sure but it will be iterated on as the product gets validation.

Also I should mention that the payments are through Stripe including monthly subscriptions and top-ups if you're subscribed. These payments allow for credits to be put on your account, and each generation uses credits.

If you're interested in checking the product out, check it out at https://www.mostart.co ! We're looking for feedback and would love to hear what you have to say.

Thanks so much, and happy hacking.
