Hey there, fellow developers! 👋 I'm excited to share with you my latest project: Avatarify AI, an open-source SaaS that lets you create amazing AI-powered avatars from a single selfie. No more waiting hours for model training or dealing with complex Dreambooth setups!

🚀 What Makes Avatarify AI Special?
While there are many AI avatar generators out there, Avatarify AI stands out for its simplicity and speed:
- One-Click Generation: Upload a single selfie and get instant results
- Pre-built Themes: Choose from various artistic styles without writing complex prompts
- Custom Prompts: Full control for those who want to experiment
- Daily Free Credits: Generate one avatar per day without spending a dime
- Self-Hostable: Complete control over your data and infrastructure
- Open Source: Built with the community in mind
🛠️ Tech Stack
- Frontend: SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 (with runes) + TailwindCSS + DaisyUI
- Backend: Supabase
- AI: Stable Diffusion via Replicate
- Payments: Stripe
- Analytics: Plausible
💫 Svelte 5 with Runes
One of the most exciting aspects of this project is that it's built with Svelte 5 and its new runes system! This cutting-edge approach to reactivity has made the codebase more maintainable and performant. The runes system provides a more intuitive way to handle state management and derived values, making the code cleaner and easier to understand.

🤝 How You Can Help
As a solo developer, I'd love to see this project grow with community contributions! Here are some areas where you can help:
- New Themes: Create and submit new artistic styles
- Feature Development: Help implement video generation or other new features
