TLDR: I turn a ComfyUI workflow into a small app and hand it to people who can't or won't use comfy directly. Runs on your own or provided serverless endpoints or locally. The video is above. Nothing is public yet. I finally found the confidence to show it to you and want your feedback first, because it decides how I continue. Questions at the bottom.  
  
I use ComfyUI for 2,5 years to build (opensource) workflows and custom solutions in challenging domains where control and precision is non-negotiable. And I teach it at universities. Four things kept happening:

* not many people are willing to dive into a technically complex solution
* I have no option to monetize my workflows besides a paywall, which I have an ambiguous opinion about
* sharing a workflow or a custom model forced me to hand over IP (workflow, custom models, ..) to the receiver’s end, or open it up to the whole world entirely
* there is no infrastructure for people like me to do the above without an insane amount of effort

So I built HYPH on top of what became my main software environment, using comfy as the execution layer. You drop your workflow in, pick which inputs the user sees, define available for the user executions mode per workflow added, set what you want to earn from a users workflow execution, then share it as a customized app from the same installer you used. Depending on your configured workflows, they get e.g. one or multiple prompt-, image-, video- and 3d-inputs. It runs on a BYO serveless endpoints (e.g. Runpod), on provided endpoints, on comfyclouds serverless endpoints (currently in beta), or locally, on-premise deployment possible, and you decide which and what is shared from prompt to custom model. It's an Alpha Electron Desktop Win first App in front of a live backend atm, and ships with installer, user management, rbac, analytics and per-user limits.

What is not done, so you don't find it out later in case you want to try: EU Act or GDPR conformity, anything related to legal and real money. Everything is started and more is on the roadmap for now, but not done.

I build this entirely on my own using sota (proprietary) coding LLM's for a year and spend everything+ I earn from using Comfy for professional and educational work. My technical affine friends alpha tested it and were overwhelmingly positive. Naturally biased. I am not a software engineer or a developer at all, and I don’t belong to the people believing in getting the truth from a prompt, cause i cant verify it myself. And to have it mentioned, the first person outside my closest circle who saw it was officially comfy related. I hope it is visible that this brings additional features to anyone with a cool workflow.

Questions:

1. What in the world would make you touch it? Pls be blunt, this is the answer I need most, i could use a few more alpha testers
2. Would this as an opensource project increase your trust, and would you contribute?
3. would you say something like a fee, a revenue share of 75% you/25% me and/or a licence for 1m+ revenue companies is a fair setup, if this were a proven product?
4. And if you only answer one thing: what's your first impression?

Any feedback coming from you would be highly appreciated. I can go deeper on everything in case there are questions.

I know: I want to have something that lets people own their pipelines end-to-end, I want it to be opensource once verified, and if possible, I want to profit from it at some point. I don’t want it to be a marketplace or anything related. My impression after following this sub since comfy got me hooked: I cannot be the only one.

Thank you in advance!
