What Hacker News says

For runtime, I use ComfyUi [0] which is node based and therefore a bit hard to learn. But you can just look at the examples on their github. Foocus [1] also seems to be popular and a bit more conventional perhaps, though I didn't try it. For models, Flux [2] is pretty good and quite straightforward to use. (In general, you will have a runtime and then you have to get the model weights seperately). Which Flux variant depends on your graphics card, the Flux.1 schnell should work for most decently modern ones. (And the website, civitai.com is a repository for models and other associated tools.)

You might be thinking of Fooocus: https://github.com/lllyasviel/Fooocus The Stable Diffusion web interface that got a lot of people's attention originally was Automatic1111: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui Fooocus is definitely more beginner friendly. It does a lot of the prompt engineering for you. Automatic1111 has a ton of plugins, most notably ControlNet which gives you fine grained control over the images, but there is a learning curve.
