I made a frontend inpainting tool for ComfyUI users
Spent a day building something called DiffusionDesk.
My goal wasn’t to make “another Stable Diffusion UI.”
It was to build a cleaner local-first frontend workstation that feels less like a pile of Python scripts duct-taped together and more like an actual desktop product.
Current focus:
- Local image generation (using ComfyUI in the backend)
- Model management
- Cleaner workflow UX
- Asset organization
- History / prompt tracking
- Apple Silicon support
- Simpler setup experience over time
I love AUTOMATIC1111 and ComfyUI for what they are, but I always felt there was room for something that sits between:
- the raw power of ComfyUI
- and the ease of use of in-painting (ComfyUI was always a challenge for me to get it right)
Still early. Still rough in places. But it’s moving fast.
Would genuinely appreciate feedback from people deep in the local AI / SD ecosystem:
- What do you hate most about current ComfyUI/SD tooling?
- What would make you switch UIs?
- What features are still missing across the ecosystem?
