A story about a site created with Blazor to add a Discord bot for AI image generation (Stable Diffusion, etc.)

TL;DR

• Created a website with Blazor Server.
• Created a Bot for Discord that uses AI to generate images.
• Created website : https://stablediffusiondiscordbot.azurewebsites.net/
• Repository : https://github.com/kawa0x0A/StableDiffusionDiscordBot

Websites created with Blazor

• Made by Blazor Server
• Hosting is Azure and payment service is Stripe
• What I learned : How to write authentication process for login, Website design, How to use Bootstrap
• Impressions : It's great to be able to create websites in C#. And I found that I can't live without Visual Studio's completion.
• Issues : It takes a little bit of time to load the site for the first time.

Discord Bot

• Made in Python
• The way to make it is probably the same as the way to make a general bot.
• AI models available are Stable Diffusion, Stable Diffusion 2, Waifu Diffusion, and Anything models.
• I personally don't like programming languages other than C#, so I'll spare you the code.
• Problem : Bot sometimes doesn't work because of Gradient Paperspace (I considered GCP, but it's too expensive to keep it running 24/7 ......)

Technical notes (list of setbacks)

• I started with Blazor WebAssembly, but changed to Blazor Server in the middle of the project.
  • Reason : Because the information that I want to keep secret such as API key of Stripe cannot be kept secret, I changed from Blazor WebAssembly to Blazor Server.
