## What it is
BlinkShot is an open-source web application that generates AI images in real time as you type, powered by the Flux Schnell model via Together.ai inference. It is built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and includes tracing via Braintrust.

## Use cases
- generate ai images from text prompts instantly
- stream image generation results in real time while typing
- self-host a text-to-image web app
- demo flux schnell image generation
- build a similar realtime ai image generator

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made realtime text-to-image web app
- you want an open-source Next.js example integrating Together.ai and Flux
- you need a hosted-style image generation playground you can self-host

## When to avoid
- you need offline or local model inference without an API key
- you need advanced controls like model selection, upscaling, or fine-grained settings
- you need a production service with auth and rate limiting built in
