Overview
ChatAny is a web chat client forked from ChatGPT-Next-Web that adds an image generation view for Midjourney and Stability AI (Stable Image Ultra, Core, Stable Diffusion 3). Midjourney access goes through a self-hosted midjourney-proxy or a third-party relay API. The README states the project is no longer maintained and points to the desktop client AQBot.
Who it is for: Self-hosters wanting a Next-Web chat UI with Midjourney; consider AQBot instead
