Do not mistake the interface for the product. DreamStudio's durable value is proprietary model, inference, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

# DreamStudio indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core DreamStudio workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Build the closest honest personal Stable Diffusion interface console around a locally available image model, with prompt history and file export.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- high-fidelity color, format, and export handling
- the vendor's proprietary model quality
- licensed training data and style tuning
- fast elastic inference
- safety, moderation, and mobile distribution

If those capabilities are essential, use ComfyUI instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

DreamStudio: The interface is replaceable. The subscription buys the model, aesthetic tuning, inference fleet, safety work, and rapid improvement.
