Community Spotlight: What Developers Are Building
Every month, we're blown away by what our community creates. Here are some standout projects from January 2026.
Featured Projects
1. Storyboard AI - Interactive Children's Books
Builder: Sarah Martinez, indie developer
Sarah built an app that generates personalized children's stories with AI illustrations. Kids can input their name, favorite animal, and choose an adventure theme.
Stack:
Key Insight:
> "The key was using FLUX Schnell for consistency. I generate a character sheet first, then use those style references for all story illustrations. Kids love seeing 'themselves' in every page."

2. PropertyViz - Real Estate Virtual Staging
Builder: Chen Wei, PropTech startup

Results:
// Chen's approach to maintaining room perspective
const staged = await abstrakt.run('flux-dev', {
prompt: `Modern Scandinavian living room staging,
maintaining exact room perspective and lighting,
beige sofa, minimalist decor, natural light`,
image: originalRoomPhoto,
strength: 0.65 // Preserve room structure

4. SoundScape - AI Podcast Artwork
Builder: Emma Rodriguez, podcast network
SoundScape generates episode-specific artwork for podcast networks. Each episode gets unique cover art based on the episode title and description.
The Challenge:
> "We have 50+ shows releasing 3 episodes each per week. That's 150 pieces of artwork needed. Before Abstrakt, we had a team of 3 designers working full-time."
Solution Architecture:
// Automated podcast artwork pipeline
async function generateEpisodeArt(episode) {
// Extract key themes from description
const themes = await extractThemes(episode.description);
// Generate artwork
const artwork = await abstrakt.run('flux-pro', {
prompt: buildArtworkPrompt(episode.show.style, themes),
aspect_ratio: '1:1',
quality: 'high'
});
// Add show branding overlay
return overlayBranding(artwork, episode.show);

Community Tips & Tricks
From the Discord
@devninja: "Pro tip: Save your seed values! If you get a great generation, the seed lets you create variations without starting from scratch."
// Save the seed from a good generation
const result = await abstrakt.run('flux-schnell', { prompt });
const seed = result.seed; // e.g., 12345678
// Use it for variations
const variation = await abstrakt.run('flux-schnell', {
prompt: modifiedPrompt,
seed: seed // Same composition, different details
});@artisan_ai: "Batch your webhook processing! Instead of handling each notification individually, queue them and process in batches of 10. Reduced our processing time by 80%."
@startup_sarah: "We A/B test our prompts. Small word changes can have big impacts on output quality. Track your prompts in a spreadsheet with quality ratings."
