## What it is
Scribble Diffusion is an open-source Next.js web application that turns rough sketches into refined images using the ControlNet scribble model via the Replicate API. It provides a React browser UI for drawing, a server-side API route for model inference, and Tailwind CSS styling.

## Use cases
- turn a rough sketch into a polished image with AI
- self-host a sketch-to-image web app
- build a demo app calling Replicate models from Next.js
- experiment with ControlNet scribble-to-image generation
- learn how to integrate ML models into a web app

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made sketch-to-image web app powered by ControlNet
- you need a reference implementation for calling the Replicate API from Next.js
- you want to self-host a simple generative image demo

## When to avoid
- you need offline/local model inference without a Replicate API token
- you need a production-grade image editing tool rather than a demo
- you want a library or SDK to embed in your own app rather than a standalone application

## Facets
- artifact type: application
