About Civitai Helper2: Model Info Helper
The first version of "Civitai Helper2" is already finished and I have used it for a while on my local machine. It works exactly as in the demo video I have released before(with some more functions).

But the developing process is extremely painful. Its maintenance will also be difficult. If I release it, with all those requests and issues from users, my life gonna be in hell.
The reason for this is, gradio is not suitable for a professional level's management system. But under gradio's framework and SD webui's design, a lot of javascript things won't work well.
So, it is too painful that I don't want to do any further maintenance and development on it. In the meantime, a lot of alternatives become popular. For example, ComfyUI and InvokeAI 3.x.
Especially InvokeAI 3.x, with its Unified Canvas and build-in node system, now we have a photoshop level's SD tool for free.
If you are not familiar with InvokeAI 3.x, you can check this video:

And its unified canvas system:

So, for Model Info Helper, I'm re-designing it into a stand alone model and workflow management system, which should work with most popular SD UI, not just for SD webui.
Since it won't be released as estimated, I have updated the old civitai helper 1.x to work with latest SD webui.
