TaskTiger: Bye Nostrasia, Hello Legends of Lightning

Nostrasia was fun! Japan was awesome. We had moved on from Japan and will now spend 2 weeks in Manila.

Didn't qualify for Nostrasia Hackathon but that is not going to stop us from pursuing LoL2. We be building still.

Progress updates since the last post:
1. There was a problem with Replace Background job chain where the background image wouldn't respect the resolution of the frontend image. That is now fixed!
2. 4x4 picture collage job chain is live 😁
3. NIP90 was merged! The nip defines a newer set of kinds to be used with job requests and results. We have switched over to the newer kinds but retained the older kinds for the stats page to track historical stats
4. We added buttons to allow quick download and sharing (to nostr) of generated images from tasktiger.io
5. Go to plausible.io/tasktiger.io to check out our website stats! The stats is rather flattering as it includes bots visits (try to filter out Virginia US)

One bummer we wanted to share is that a good amount of time was spent trying to switch over from SDXL to Midjourney but we decided to drop the effort in the end. We got it to work, but having Midjourney processing jobs in parallel was a pain in the butt. All things considered it's probably best to put this aside for now as we have bigger fish to fry

That said, we are excited to tackle an area that we have never ventured into before. TaskTiger is tackling video processing next. Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, video translation etc. Job-chaining involving video processing should be fun!

That is it for now, onwards 🫡
