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.
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.
