⚄︎ 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.

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-plugin and ai-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.

Hello everyone, before I begin my post, I would like to express my gratitude. In my opinion, I can say that Perchance is currently the best in their field. What they offer us is truly invaluable. Therefore, I would like to thank the developer for their work and what they offer, and then this wonderful community for their help.

What makes Perchance, "Perchance" is, first and foremost, this project that the developer humbly initiated and maintained, and then the people's contributions and made by taking advantage of the opportunities offered by this project.

People love Perchance. This isn't just my opinion; there are many people who think like me. They want it to continue because they love it, and they want to contribute. There are many people who could help with this, but only if the developer says so. That's exactly where the problem starts, because the developer either says nothing at all or says very little.

Over the past few months, a number of updates have been made to improve Perchance, and more are still in progress. A few months ago, an update was made to the image generator, and I learned about it beforehand from a random post on this forum—not from an official announcement. If you browse the forums a bit more, you'll see that some people learned about the update after the model was released. Anyway, after learning that an update was coming, the developer went silent and said almost nothing. Neither I nor anyone else knew exactly when the model would arrive, how the development phase was going, or had the slightest idea about the upcoming model. One night, the update was suddenly released, and that's how everyone found out.

Now we are waiting for the text update that is in the works and currently being developed. And again, apart from the post shared on August 8th with very little information, we know absolutely nothing about when it will arrive, how development is progressing, or what the model of the upcoming update will be. This lack of information breeds rumors and speculation. The only thing that is certain is that no one knows anything.

  • So I'm asking again: What will the model for the next update be?

To give an example from my own experience, I'm currently working on a story, and because an update is coming, I haven't done any work on it for “MONTHS.” If the upcoming update is going to be a minor one, I'd rather not wait in vain and get back to working on it. And if the dev provide information on this, it will also prevent people like me from being disappointed and wasting their time after the update is released. This situation also reduces the burden on the developer's shoulders.

  • How is the development phase going?

I know it's hard to do something on your own and you're facing some problems, but if you keep us informed, we can do our best to help. Because we love this place you've given us. For example; Is it a financial problem? Let us raise funds for you. Or perhaps we can keep running ads even when we're not using it.

  • When will the new update be released?

The post shared on August 8th said development was “middle in progress,” but there has been no further information since then. Has it gone from 50% to 60% over the past few weeks? Or is the update about to be released?

And most importantly, why do I have to stalk the developer's profile like a creep to find out the answers to the questions above? Why is every update treated like it's some top-secret project? PLEASE KEEP US INFORMED, PLEASE LET US LEARN AND HELP.

It doesn't matter how busy the developer is, I don't expect them to do this every single day, but taking a few minutes now and then to provide information on this matter isn't that difficult. As someone who loves this place and invests his time, i think i have the right to ask for this.

Thank you, best regards. @perchance@lemmy.world

everything you said is excellent except for the very last word.

I concur with what @RudBo@lemmy.world. That word is thrown around a bit too much. Having access to Perchance is not a right. Thus being made aware of the @perchance@lemmy.world's progress on an update for Perchance is not a right. Let's not confuse rights with desires.
