Tanish Manku 537409eb3e Dev infra: fresh-clone bootstrap for the fully-local dev stack (backend + webapp)
Adds script/bootstrap/ — idempotent Ubuntu 22.04+/WSL2/CI automation that takes
a fresh clone to a running local stack with zero production traffic:

- bootstrap_dev_stack.sh: apt packages, MySQL 8 + Redis up, storyteller DB/user,
  281 diesel migrations, idempotent role/badge seeds, generated dummy
  development-secrets.env (19 required-at-boot vars no checked-in config
  supplies), SQLX_OFFLINE backend build, frontend npm install
- run_backend_dev.sh / seed_demo_user.sh: run the API from the repo root and
  create+verify a demo login through the real POST /v1/create_account path
- dev_stack_doctor.sh: PASS/WARN/FAIL diagnosis of every prerequisite

_docs/dev_setup_local_stack.md records the requirements the scripts encode and
corrects stale claims (server reads MYSQL_URL, not DATABASE_URL; repo-root .env
is not loaded by the server; config precedence is first-value-wins;
SQLX_OFFLINE is compile-time only).

.gitattributes now forces LF for *.sh/*.env so Windows clones run under WSL2.

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)
