Devfest 2023 Submission: Dream Journey

Many people would like to keep dream journals, but often lack the motivation to do so. Dream Journey is a website that aims to make the activity of keeping a dream journal more fun by using Stable Diffusion (an open source image generation software) to create illustrations of dreams based on their textual description.

How it works

As depicted in the image below, Dream Journey has four main components, that interact to create the final product:

• Website: made with JavaScript and React.
• Backend Server: made with Python and Flask.
• Database: made with Firebase.
• Stable Diffusion API: we didn't make the API, we simply interact with it through API requests. Check them out here.

When the user interacts with the website, the website makes POST requests to the backend server, either requesting data (such as the user's records), or sending data (when the user creates new records). In order to answer the POST requests, the backend server makes further calls to the database (either to query existing data or to store new data) and to the Stable Diffution API (to generate new images).
