Show HN: Promptsref – Curated Midjourney SREF library with full prompts

https://promptsref.com/
1•underwoodxie•2mo ago
I'm a product manager-turned-solo dev, and I'm building Promptsref, a curated Midjourney SREF library with full prompts, images and examples.

Promptsref helps you: Quickly discover good SREF styles without trawling X/Discord/paid PDFs Reuse full prompts + SREF to reliably reproduce a style Explore by “vibe” (comic, cyberpunk, film still, etc.) instead of guessing keywords

Why I built it: I started Promptsref after getting frustrated with Midjourney. As a beginner I kept seeing amazing styles, but they were: 1. buried in long X threads or Discord chats 2. shared as just a code or a partial prompt 3. almost impossible to reliably reproduce later I wanted a place where I could save only the styles that consistently look good, with the exact prompt + SREF + example images in one place. That slowly turned into this project.

How it works: For each SREF on Promptsref I store: the SREF code, the full prompt I used, example images (and sometimes video styles) You can browse by tags and “style vibe”, copy a code you like, paste the full prompt into Midjourney, and usually get a similar result in a few generations. I update the library based on the styles I use in my own work and what the small community around the site seems to like.

Tech details: Frontend: Next.js, deployed on Vercel Backend: Supabase/Postgres to store SREFs, prompts, metadata and favorites

Things I’ve learned / had to work around: Designing search for non-technical creatives is harder than just “add a search box” Keeping SREFs useful when Midjourney updates models requires pruning and re-curating People care a lot about consistency (series, brands, comics), not just one-off pretty images

What I’d love feedback on: If you use Midjourney, I’d really appreciate feedback on: Is the search / navigation understandable? What information about a style do you wish you saw first? Is there a better way to show series / collections of styles? Any obvious technical improvements you’d make to the stack or data model?

Thanks for reading, and I’m happy to answer any questions about the implementation, data model, or the SREF curation process.
