Definitely. It's probably the top feature request actually.

We wanted to get the UX feel right and a bit of a feature freeze for v1 before a Windows release.


Awesome! still got some work to do on the onboarding, but glad you got it set up


Hi all. For a long time, it felt weird that I have to take a screenshot (or copy a message), take it to ChatGPT, upload/paste and take the results back.

I built TheQuickFox to solve this. North star is: AI operating system layer.

Would love your input.


BTW. That's not a video on the website, it's an actual working demo :facepalm: No one seems to know.


Lool..it's been super interesting to see Pro-genocide trolls on X and other social reporting posts that are nothing of the kind.

$7000 for you, kind sir.


Hasbara is strong on HN. Noicce!

"Gazawood" .. so original.

All the international organizations confirming the genocide?

Ah yes, all are part of this Gazawood and Hamas.

pathetic.


I built this in span of a couple hours using Claude Code. Session was literally 1 "context window" in length!


Oh interesting. And yes YouTube-dl is a good comparison.

To be clear, I’ve had a few accounts on Midjourney used mostly for testing and demo purposes. At the moment I don’t have any Midjourney account hence TOS violation doesn’t apply.


I think you can make midjourney stop by using social media pressure, but you need to improve communications. For example don't start with "I'm making 16k a month" because most will think you can afford a lawyer.

Also, I repeat, consider explaining better what you do and what exactly are they accusing you of doing wrong and why they are wrong in doing so.

Also now that I see the screenshots, the way you phrased things it did look like you were the official midjourney api, so the trademark violation is there for sure.


Thanks for the feedback.

I've made some changes to help avoid the confusion: https://share.cleanshot.com/Gl1fg0gx


I hope you will find the support to overcome this. Good luck


Now this is what I’m here for!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this

Yeah if they do release an API I’m totally done. I honestly thought I’d have 3-6 months before they did but that’s not the case.

Do you see a world where I might be able to reconcile and have a positive outcome?


Yes. Build your own midjourney and provide api access to it.


They’re huge. I’m sure their toilet paper rolls are make of $16k bills

I used to worry that the biggest threat was them releasing an API.

I’ve since learned that they won’t do that because they charge monthly fees to their customers and when a customer doesn’t use their credits, the credits don’t roll over and Midjourney pockets the cash.

Pay per use is bad for their business model.


Based on your growth rate they'll have more toilet paper in the future though. It would be interesting to try to discover a way to coexist, and I wonder if everyone at Midjourney hates you with equal passion or if some are sympathetic or even see value.


I was really hoping to build out an amazing API product and when time came where they want to release one it would make more sense to acquire us. Alas.


Being a wise and thoughtful business owner, you already ran this concept by your own corporate attorney to get a written legal opinion before circumventing their TOS, right? ... No??

IMHO, stop calling yourself a Midjourney API of any kind and stop providing a service that uses Midjourney as a backend. You are not authorized to run Midjourney jobs using other people's account credentials; that's the TOS violation. Your lawyer will explain this to you.


Yup, sure did. Just like I check with HR when I pass notes to my self on Slack where I'm the only member


lol .. I should’ve posted this autocomplete answer to start with
