Blogged: Integrating OpenAI Image Generation into a .NET Application
Integrating OpenAI Image Generation into a .NET Application
Image Generation AIs are proving to be very good at creating images that can be used for all sorts of purposes. In this article I discuss how you can integrate image generation right into your own .NET applications using the OpenAI REST API. In addition I'll show how you can integrated this functionality into a larger application and discuss some general thoughts on image AI usage based on some of the experiences from a developer/non-designer user perspective.
It's beer thirty! 🍻💨🏴☠️
Having some fun with the image AI while tweaking the image integration UI in Markdown Monster.
It's been a blast working on this and playing around with ideas for images.
AI Image gen isn't perfect, but it does open all sorts of possibilities that I simply wouldn't have done/tried before, because it would have required a designer or more likely would have just not get done because too much $$$ for a hobby project.
A few things I've successfully used:
* Music single cover (several)
* Icon for tools
* Splash screen logo
* Image backgrounds for Web site
* Blog banner images
Mostly done with the AI image generator integration in Markdown Monster.
Image Generation is a piece of cake but the UI around this went through a lot of iterations.
I'm already using the shit out of this now even if I'm not embedding into Markdown content.
Playing around with OpenAI Image generation integration into
Markdown Monster today.
Insane what you can do relatively easily in terms of integration with just a few very simple REST HTTP calls.

Embedding a minimal ASP.NET Web Server into a Desktop Application
Did you ever need to embed a Web Server into a non-Web application? In this post I describe how you can use host ASP.NET in a non-Web application and specifically in a WPF desktop app. What do you need, how is it different and some of the issues that you need to consider if you want to use ASP.NET in your non-Web applications.
