Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator

⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.
See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!
Rules
1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.
- The full rules are posted here: (https://legal.lemmy.world/)
- User Rules: (https://legal.lemmy.world/fair-use/)
2. Be kind and friendly.
- Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)
3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.
- If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)
4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.
- Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.
5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.
- We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (
text-to-image-pluginandai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?" - See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.
6. Search through the Community Before Posting.
- Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

sorry I did try to add a url. It is my first time using this site lol... https://perchance.org/fegless
Interesting approach. I wanted to try playing with the code, but unfortunately saving a copy to edit doesn't work for me. =/ I just end up with a white screen. I tried pasting the code into a new gen, and that didn't work either. Might be my older browser.
My first feedback is DEAR GOD. I didn't ask for any of the traits of this output. Secondly, the photo presets seem to be generating illustrations.
You've put a lot of work into this and it's cool to be able to customize all the prompts, but man is it hard to get everything in these kinds of generators to work right.

Well done on making something more involved and complex 👍
What does "Fegless" mean?
I don't understand asking for a donation because you're down to 512mb of data... how is that related to the generator? What data are you talking about? Why do you want people's email addresses?
Clicking "AI?" just generates whatever the AI feels like. For me it generates some python code for no apparent reason. I'm not sure what that button is meant to be doing, but presumably it's not doing it.
And clicking "AI prompt" puts both the prompt to the text AI and what it returns (the actual image prompt it produces). Which also is presumably not what was intended.
"Import" puts a random actual image prompt in, and doesn't actually "import" anything as far as the user is concerned.
The part of the prompts your page adds have a formatting that doesn't actually help the image generator, but could certainly confuse it. It's written as plain english, with little headings and such, but that's not how image generators use the text. It may have better results if you wrote those prompts in a more image-generator-ish way.
Clicking "random" in the picture settings doesn't change the settings to random things. It just starts a new generation that ignores the prompt entirely, which is unexpected. I don't know what this button is meant to do.
When I go to the page I see an error: "Failed to fetch."
Would be good to have "Random" be an option for picture style/lighting.
Would also be more useful if a randomised setting was picked at random for each generated image, rather than once and then applied to all generations in that set. So that if you generated 4 images with a random location, you'd see 4 random locations for example.
Character background: false, Character personality: false. I don't understand what these mean.
