You can create images with numerous Stable Diffusion models using a distributed cluster of GPUs donated by volunteers -- it's called Stable Horde [1] -- an awesome open source API created by @dbzer0. The service was written up in PC World back in December (with generous mentions of ArtBot)[2]: "Meet Stable Horde, the crowd-powered Folding@Home of AI art".
ArtBot is a front-end interface for interacting with the Horde. Unlike a lot of other services springing up around Stable Diffusion lately, mine doesn't require login information, all images are stored within your browser via IndexedDb and it's free!
It's a NextJS app that currently costs me $5/mo via Digital Ocean. I recently received a single donation through the BuyMeACoffee website... coincidentally, on my birthday! Hah.
Edit: I should note, in terms of tracking, I have some telemetry I built to log errors, tell me what pages people use, and a few events related to specific actions (basically, checking on if people even using a new feature I made). I do use Google Analytics to get some real time feedback on where people are on the site, but I've considered rolling my own solution to get away from that.
Edit2: I should also mention that my spaghetti code is available on Github, if you're into that sort of thing.[3] I also keep a changelog, which I don't think you usually see with web apps, but I've been having a lot of fun with it.[4]
Edit3!: I should also, also mention that LAION (Large-scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network) also wrote a blog post earlier this year on a partnership with Stable Horde for aesthetics training... and ArtBot was featured as well.[5]
Bottom line: This is just a random side project I made, a ton of people seem to be using it (just crossed 3 MILLION images generated as of this week) and I am having so much fun with it.
