Announcement: Invitation to Collaborators

[raysers]

Hi, @InformEthics, @azrahello, @135kp — that is, everyone who participated in the discussion of #10：

You have been invited as collaborators, with permissions to handle merge requests for any branch except the main branch. I believe that if we truly wish to collaborate as a team, this is a necessary step.

One of my heartfelt wishes is to contribute to the mflux project, driven by my deep emotional connection to it. When I was struggling on my MacOS 13.6, searching for a way to run the FLUX model for generating images, I discovered mflux. It was like a “苦海明灯” — meaning, when you are adrift and helpless in a boundless ocean, you see a beacon of hope guiding you forward. That is the depth of my feelings for mflux.

And in my interactions with the mflux team’s progress, its creator, @filipstrand , has given me hope and encouragement. One of its active contributors, @anthonywu , resolved the very first issue I raised. They are not gods, but their contributions have left a mark on me, and I hold immense gratitude for them.

However, because mflux is a Python library and this plugin is a ComfyUI plugin, their installation methods are fundamentally different. As a result, this plugin cannot be submitted to mflux as a pull request. This means my wish of appearing on the mflux contributors list is unattainable. Nevertheless, I will dedicate my efforts here, finding another way to make contributions to the mflux I cherish.

@InformEthics, @azrahello, @135kp Though your names may not appear on the mflux contributors list, they will always have a place on the contributors list of this plugin. Furthermore, if one day this plugin grows to be excellent and powerful enough, I will transfer ownership of this repository to mflux’s creator, @filipstrand , as an expression of gratitude. This is my public promise, open for everyone to witness. It is a matter of my personal ethics, and I believe ethics should not coerce or obligate others. So, @InformEthics, @azrahello, @135kp, please take time to carefully consider whether you would like to contribute to this repository.

The above constitutes the announcement of this invitation to collaborators.

我可以作为此团队产品经理，致力于用户体验和功能性开发等工作，希望能有更多的人加入，因为大团队才能出大作品，毕竞大家时间和精力有限。
以下是优先需要优化的功能问题，虽然此插件是依赖mflux，功能限制性较大，但希望也有创新性的功能推出，所以需要研究开发。
1.时刻保持与mlfux最新版本兼容同步，现在还落后于它的版本更新。
2.将图片输入可以兼容comfyui原版节点，支持批理处理功能（因为需要二次处理，可以流程化一步进行，不用生成了图还要手动加入，我明白算法上可能兼容有问题，但此问题一改进，将是一个飞跃式进步）
3.支持局绘重绘功能，现在没有采样器没有lanten功能，无法兼容原版局绘重绘功能。
4.改进controlnet，我测试过controlnet很多时候起不了作用，用了效果还变得更差。
5.flux schnell解除步数限制，虽然多了经测试没有意义，但可能有极端情况起作用，就像原版你可以输入100步，虽然30步后没有变化。

以上是优先处理急切的问题，其它再根据情况进行改进。

I plan to serve as the product manager for this team, focusing on user experience and functional development. I hope more people will join because a large team can create great works. After all, everyone's time and energy are limited.

Here are the prioritized feature issues that need optimization:

1. Maintain Compatibility with Latest MLFux Version Currently, this plugin is behind in updates compared to the latest version of MLFux.
2. Enhance Image Input Compatibility Make image inputs compatible with ComfyUI original nodes and support batch processing functionality (because secondary processing requires re-importing images manually). I understand that there might be compatibility issues at the algorithm level, but once this issue is resolved, it will be a significant leap forward.
3. Add Local Draw Redraw Functionality Currently, there are no samplers or lanten functionalities, so it cannot support the original local draw redraw functionality.
4. Improve ControlNet I have tested that ControlNet sometimes does not work as expected.
5. Enable Adjustable Steps for MLFux Allow users to adjust the number of steps in MLFux (e.g., input 100 steps, even though there might be no change after 30 steps).

The above are the urgent issues that need to be addressed first. Other improvements will be made as necessary.

@135kp 谢谢你的回复。我最近有点忙，也仍然在收到一些AI资讯的推送。尤其是看见现在腾讯混元新出的文生视频，有点打击，人也有些觉累不爱，发现和Windows比起来，Mac落后太多了。Mac要想真的在AIGC绘画上获取好的体验，任重道远啊。你的几条建议现在只能先尝试解决5，其他的都需要时间。慢慢熬吧
