Did you listen to a song today that made you feel a certain way, but want to express it in a new and fun way? Do you want to join a community of like-minded music lovers? If yes, Then Purple wAIve is perfect for you! Purple wAIve is a webpage built for audiophiles, artists, writers or really anyone who likes music and artistic expression. Purple wAIve uses DALLE2's artifical intellingence system to generate pictures based on user input.The AI generated images offer an expansion of the scope of artistic expression since most humans would not think to create an image/picture the same as an AI system that has millions and millions of pictures/images to reference all at a moments notice.

Purple wAIve has a ton of user validation to ensure that the user experience is as pleasant as can be. Below we have 3 validations for the signup page, ensuring that the user input a strong password, correct email and an original username.
Below is another example of validations we have. If the user is not logged in, then they will not be able to create an image or interact with posts.This helps ensure that we can get a dedicated user base.
Logged in users can create new art by clicking on the create tab in the navbar and from there are prompted to enter the title of song, keywords about how the song made them feel/think, style of the art and a body where they can write a more detailed story.
To create a new image using the DALLE2 AI system the logged in user can go to our create page
