Managing your style collections just got a whole lot smoother.

What's New

You can now drag any style tile from your current collection and drop it onto another folder in the sidebar. A small popup will ask whether you want to Copy or Move the style. That's it. No extra clicks, no menus to navigate — just grab and go.

How It Works

Open any collection

Drag a style tile towards the sidebar

Valid folders will highlight as you hover

Drop it on the folder you want

Choose Copy or Move

Done

Smart Restrictions

Not every folder will accept every style. You'll notice some folders stay greyed out and won't respond to your drag. This happens when:

The style already exists in that collection (no duplicates)

Type mismatch — Niji styles can only go into Niji collections, and regular styles into regular collections. Mixing them would break things, so we simply don't allow it.

Source folder — You can't drop a style back into the folder you're dragging from

Invalid folders just sit there, unresponsive. No error messages, no popups. If a folder doesn't react, it's not an option.

Copy vs Move

Copy — The style stays in your current collection AND gets added to the target folder. Great for styles that fit multiple themes.

Move — The style leaves your current collection and lands in the target folder. Useful for reorganizing.

As always, your collections live in your browser's local storage. No account needed. Just don't forget to back them up. 

You keep organising and I keep improving. 

Remember when I said I removed all the account features because nobody used them? Well, plot twist - collections are back, but this time without the hassle of signing up for anything.

What's New?

You can now save your favourite styles to personal collections directly in your browser. See that little bookmark icon in the corner of each style tile? Click it. Magic happens. Sparkles fly. Your style is saved.

Got multiple collections? No problem. A neat little picker pops up asking where you want to stash your find. Only have one collection? It just adds it directly because I respect your time.

The Catch (There's Always a Catch)

Here's the thing - these collections live in your browser's localStorage. That means:

• They only exist on THIS device, in THIS browser

• Clear your browser data? Poof. Gone. Forever.

• Switch to your phone? Your collections aren't there

• Your cat walks across your keyboard and somehow clears your cache? You get the idea.

I am absolutely, 100%, not responsible if you lose your collections. They're personal. Look after them personally. There's a yellow warning triangle on the collections page - I suggest clicking it.

But Wait, There's a Backup!

Don't panic. You can export all your collections to a JSON file anytime. It's literally one button. Press it. Save the file somewhere. Future you will thank present you. The JSON can be imported into other browsers i.e. Chrome, Safari, Firefox (not sure what Edge does, not tested that)

You can also share collections via a special URL, or publish them to the community gallery for eternal preservation (and internet fame, obviously).

Shared collections won't show who shared them, since there are no accounts, it's anonymous. 

Sharing Rules (Yes, Rules)

Want to share your collection with the world? Cool. But:

• Minimum 25 styles required - no sharing your "collection" of 3 random styles you clicked by accident

• Once published, it's permanent - no edits, no take-backs, no "oops I didn't mean that one"

• Keep it clean - the profanity filter is watching

I'm not trying to be a buzzkill, I just don't want the shared gallery turning into a wasteland of half-empty collections named after body parts.

How to Get Started

1. Browse styles like you normally do

2. Click the bookmark icon on styles you love

3. Visit "My Collections" to see your treasures

4. Export backups regularly (seriously, do this)

5. Share your best work when you've got 25+ styles worth showing off

Happy collecting! And remember — backup, backup, backup.

I'm thrilled to unveil Style Mesh (beta), an innovative interactive visualization that transforms how you discover and explore Midjourney style references. 

Rather than scrolling through endless galleries, Style Mesh uses intelligent color clustering to group thousands of styles into floating, interconnected nodes that you can explore with a simple click. Each colorful node represents a cluster of styles sharing similar color palettes, with larger nodes indicating more styles in that group – hover over any node to see connection patterns, then click to dive into a curated collection of styles complete with their --sref numbers ready to copy. 

Whether you're hunting for that perfect moody blue aesthetic or seeking vibrant warm tones, Style Mesh lets you navigate the entire style library through an intuitive, visually-driven interface that makes style discovery feel less like searching and more like exploring a living constellation of creative possibilities.

Currently the Mesh is limited to 200 primary colours and 5000 Styles. Just for the sake of page performance. 

Okay, I'll admit it – I've been putting off the whole "tagging" thing for way too long. You know how it is when you have 11K+ styles and the thought of manually tagging each one makes you want to hide under a blanket forever? Yeah, that was me. 

But then I had a lightbulb moment: why not let AI do the heavy lifting?

I've just rolled out AI-generated tags across the entire StyleForger collection. Every single style now gets automatically analyzed and tagged with relevant keywords that actually make sense. We're talking tags like "sexy," "watercolor," "portrait," "neon," "vintage" – the kind of descriptive words you'd naturally think of when looking at a style.

Tag Search for Everyone, even for those (unfortunately most of you) who are not registered. :)

In the background I have been tweaking Curations too. They are now auto-generated from the most popular keywords. 

Hope this helps! 

I’ve just added a new feature — Style Notes. It’s something I’ve wanted for a while: a way to quickly jot down ideas when a style sparks something.

You can now (work in progress):

• Add a note directly from any style [from the main style browser and from your collections]

• Attach multiple styles to a single note

• View and manage all your notes from your profile

It’s a simple way to capture those little creative flashes before they disappear.

Created notes show on your profile page and are completely private.

Ever uploaded a style and thought, “That peachy blush is divine, but where did I see a similar tone before?” Well baby, now you don’t have to guess.

With the brand-new Colour Search feature on StyleForger.com, you can dive deep into the soul of a shade. Every single style uploaded already has its colour DNA logged — hue, saturation, lightness, and that flirty little hex code too.

Now? You can search by hue, vividness, lightness, darkness, muted or pastel tones. Heck, you can even go straight-up nerd and drop in a hex code like it’s 1998.

Here’s where it gets juicy:

✨ Every result not only shows the original style you’re after — it reveals its nearest matching styles.

✨ Click on any of those and you’ll unlock another ring in the colour web. Like a never-ending rainbow rabbit hole of inspiration.

It’s not just a search. It’s a colour journey.

A style matchmaker.

A visual love affair.

And yes, it’s addictive... and of course every style can be added straight to your collections as usual. 

When I first started this site, I had a clear vision but limited time. Everything you see here has been built from the ground up—no pre-packaged CMS, no fancy templates, just me writing code, making mistakes, fixing them, and slowly refining things as I go. Because of that, improvements happen gradually. There’s always something to tweak, always something to optimize. And today, I’m rolling out two new features that have been on my list for a while: blog categories and search.

Organising the Chaos

Until now, blog posts have just been stacking up chronologically, which worked fine in the early days. But as the content grew, it became clear that a better way to browse and explore was needed. So, I’ve introduced categories to make it easier to find posts that match your interests. Whether you're here for project updates, behind-the-scenes insights, or random thoughts, categories will help you jump straight to what matters to you.

Finding What You Need

Alongside categories, there’s now a search function. I know—basic, right? But up until now, finding a specific post meant scrolling endlessly or guessing at URLs. Now, if you remember a keyword, a phrase, or even just a vague topic, you can type it in and (hopefully) find what you’re looking for much faster.

Always Improving

Like everything else here, these features will evolve. This site is a one-man show, and while I’d love to roll out every improvement instantly, that’s just not how things work when you build everything yourself. Every line of code, every feature, every fix takes time, but I’m always refining and adjusting to make the experience better.

So, go ahead—browse by category, try out the search, and let me know if anything feels off. As always, feedback is welcome, and improvements are always on the way.

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to share a new feature I've been working on: Dropzone Image Search.

This tool lets you drag and drop an image to search for styles that match its colour palette. Whether you're an artist, designer, or just looking for some creative inspiration, this feature is designed to make your life a little easier.

Here's how it works:

Drop an Image: Just drag your image into the dropzone area.

Colour Analysis: The system will automatically pick out key colours from your image.

Matching Styles: You’ll get a selection of styles that share similar colours to help spark new ideas.

I built this because I know how helpful it can be to find styles that match a specific visual reference. It’s great for those moments when you have an idea in your head but need the right palette to pull it all together.

Give the Dropzone Feature a try and see what styles you can discover! As always, it's free. All you need is an account. 

We’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new voting system! Now, you can easily vote for your favorite styles and show them some love. And of course, don’t forget to add those favorites to your personal collection!

Speaking of collections, we’ve also resolved the issue with community collections—now, every style can be added seamlessly to your personal collections. Happy curating!

Soon you will be able to share styles with the StyleForger community. You can change your private collections to public and your collections will be shown for everyone on the Shared Style page.
It's a work in progress...
