Tanish Manku 07e9a35044 Add portable local MySQL/Redis bootstrap scripts for backend dev
Brings up a fully local storyteller-web: portable MySQL 8.4 and Redis under a
gitignored .devstack/ (plain user processes -- no admin, no services, no WSL,
no Docker), all 281 migrations, role/badge seeds, and a demo login with
credits. Windows and Linux variants, plus a doctor that reports what is and
isn't healthy.

Scripts and docs only. Nothing here is compiled into any binary, and no
application behaviour changes: the backend it starts is the one that ships.

Integrations that cannot be provided locally -- object storage, generation
providers, email -- get placeholder credentials, so those endpoints fail when
exercised. Swap in a real dev credential for the one you are working on. The
doc records exactly which areas that leaves working.

An earlier revision closed those gaps with development-only behaviour inside
storyteller-web (DEV_FAKE_GENERATION, a filesystem bucket mode, a CDN_BASE_URL
override). That is deliberately not here: a switch that exists in the shipped
binary can be flipped. Frontend work that wants a populated, working stack
should use frontend/apps/fake-storyteller-web instead.

The IDE for artists.

ArtCraft

ArtCraft is the IDE for interactive AI image and video creation. We turn prompting into crafting, so your ideas become a form of tangible expression and computing. This is Adobe Photoshop for everyone, and we're giving away the source code!

Show, Don't Tell: Advanced Crafting Features

Text-to-image is great, but artists need control. It's important to know what your image will look like before you generate it, and it's vitally important to achieve consistency and repeatability.

Feature Demo + Explanation
Image to Location Video Placing virtual actors into physical environments establishes single-location consistency. You can film multiple shots within a room without having things disappear.
3D Image Compositing Video Use images (backdrops, foreground elements, props, etc.) in scenes with depth and blend them naturally together. Just a couple of images usually leads to great compositions.
2D Image Compositing Video Use images, background removal, layers, and simple drawing tools to precisely compose a scene.
Image to 3D Mesh Video It's almost impossible to lay out complicated objects or block complicated scenes; turning images into 3D helps position elements exactingly and intentionally.
Character Posing Video You can dynamically pose your characters to achieve the precise character, scene, and camera blocking before calling "action".
Scene Blocking w/ Kit Bashing Video Use 3D asset kits to precisely block out your scene: get the correct angles, object positions, and rich depth layering you can't with text prompting.
Character Identity Transfer Video Use mannequins as simple 3D ControlNets for posing any character.
Background Removal Video Remove backgrounds from images to make them useful in 2D or 3D compositing. They can be props, layers, or backdrops.
Mixed Asset Crafting Video You can use image cutouts, worlds, and simple 3D meshes all together to precisely and intentionally lay out your scenes.

Note: all of the above videos were generated for free with Grok Video; the cost to build this README was negligible.

Quick and Easy Prompting

We haven't abandoned text-to-asset generation for quick prototyping and ideation. We support every popular workflow in a first class fashion.

Feature Demo + Explanation
Text to Image Video Text prompt over a dozen different image models.
Image Editing Video Edit with Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 1.5.
Image Editing Video Use inpainting, drawing, masking, etc. to edit images.
Image to Video Video Image to video with lots of different options and controls.
Image Inpainting (preview coming soon)
Image Ingredients (preview coming soon)
