I would like to suggest implementing a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) feature, allowing users to plug in external LLMs, like Claude, to act as the brain for Franz.
Here is why I believe this would be a massive game-changer for Friends & Fables:
The Ultimate Roleplay Experience: Claude is widely considered the absolute best for RPGs right now due to its incredible prose and massive context window. Combining that intelligence with FnF's amazing world-building tools, TTS, and combat systems would create the perfect platform.
Attracting Hardcore Players: Power users and RPG veterans who already pay for API usage elsewhere would flock to FnF if they could bring their favorite models with them.
Technical Feasibility: As a dev, I understand that FnF has a complex backend, and you have custom memory and combat systems wrapped around the LLM. However, routing prompts to a different API endpoint is entirely doable. The site used to allow switching between models in the past, so the foundational concept is already there!
A Win-Win Business Model: I completely understand that the native credit system is vital for the platform's survival and P&L. To balance this, you could charge a premium monthly subscription or a flat fee just to unlock the BYOK toggle. Users would cover their own heavy token generation costs, while still paying FnF for the privilege of using your incredible UI and framework.
This would take the site to the next level and make everyone happy. Thanks for considering it!
