/aicg/ extra links

TLDR
Consciously choose a frontend ^[1]. Download a character ^[2]. Set up a supported API ^[3.1]/[3.2]. Optionally write or import a jailbreak and the stylistic instruction prompts (aka presets) ^[4].

https://files.catbox.moe/iworgx.png ; https://files.catbox.moe/68939b.png

BotPrompts
https://botprompts.net
This site was updated regularly with new "bots". They're only jsons so you had to assemble the cards yourself. The bots were decent enough. Now it looks dead.
https://files.catbox.moe/d71zj4.png

Laika’s LiteVN
https://laika-ch.itch.io/laikas-litevn-ui-for-koboldai
This was a short-lived VN-like frontend.

Project Akiko
https://github.com/Project-Akiko/Project-Akiko-Web
This looked like an independent alternative to SillyTavern; disappeared for unknown reason.
https://files.catbox.moe/y2s0ix.png

Booruplus
https://booru.plus/+pygmalion
This was the oldest dedicated /aicg/ character card hosting, until the end used mainly by /aicg/ uploaders; the minimalistic UI was content focused.
