We’re bringing the blog back! In this post, we’ll dive deeper into what’s new with the latest updates on Web, share some insight into the motivation behind the changes, and cover any other relevant updates.
First, the largest and most visually noticeable change with this update – the redesigned generation flow. This was a large undertaking by the development team that began with redesigning the generation flow from the ground up. We wanted to address a few key areas with the redesign: consistent UX, making it easier to iterate on an idea via re-generating, and showing community creations directly on the generate screen.
The new generation screen has all the various generation settings and configurations (model, style, aspect ratio, etc.) in one place: the right panel. Model and style selection have consistent UX as well. Features like Photobooth, Magic Edit, and Animate are now much easier to access and switch between.
Another notable change is the introduction of the explore feed on the Generate page. Users can browse others’ creations directly on the Generate page and switch between filters like Most Liked, Trending, Newest, etc. With this, users can more easily draw inspiration from others’ work without needing to switch to the explore page, as well as find interesting creations to remix. The Explore page is unchanged, so feel free to browse there as well!
The generation results screen has also been overhauled – now, both creations are directly shown side-by-side. Users can view and compare the two creations without hopping back and forth between results. Additionally, users can continue to generate straight from the results screen – feature selection, prompt input, and generation settings are available even while viewing results. This makes it easier than ever to iteratively improve a prompt or output, or just to regenerate with a new seed.
In addition to the redesign, we’ve also added an in-app announcement system to allow for broader communication with users, as well as an in-app feedback form to ensure users are able to share their thoughts. We appreciate all user feedback, so please let us know how you’re feeling about the redesign or your experience with Gencraft in general!
This update also includes a few smaller UI changes and bug fixes that should help the app run more smoothly.
Overall, we’re excited to see what everyone thinks about the design changes. Right now, only the web design has been refreshed, but updates to the mobile apps are coming as well! We’re also working behind the scenes on a couple larger updates, so be on the lookout for any upcoming announcements. Thanks for reading, and keep on creating!
