Introduction
Sketch on a canvas and watch a model paint over your strokes.
potocolom is an open source platform for generative images that update while you draw. Your canvas frames stream to a GPU worker over one WebSocket. The generated frames stream back while you keep sketching.
Your images stay private by default. The studio has no public gallery, and asset URLs check the owner before they open.

The guide is split into a few parts. Start with the one that fits you.
QuickstartInstall a release with one command, then open the studio.
Hardware requirementsWhat a machine needs, and which GPUs work.
ArchitectureHow the realtime loop and GPU scheduling fit together.
Building on potocolom
APIEndpoints, the realtime socket and account states.
Local developmentSet up the dev loop and run the tests.
DecisionsWhy potocolom is built the way it is.
Status
potocolom is pre-alpha and under active development in the open. The walking skeleton, a real generation from start to end on a self-hosted install, is v0.1.1. That is the first published release.
