Integrating ComfyUI Workflows in Custom Frontends: API Options & Pitfalls
dtdisapointingresult · reddit · 2026-08-10
The author explores how to integrate ComfyUI workflows into a custom mobile-friendly web frontend. Their old proof-of-concept relied on manually using an LLM to extract key editable fields (prompt, lora strength, etc.) into a semi-hardcoded config file to generate dynamic UI elements.
With recent updates, the author is facing a dilemma on which new solution to adopt:
- App mode: Allows selecting specific inputs/outputs from a full workflow to create a streamlined App API.
- Comfy API 2 & SDK: Officially released recently, but suffers from extremely thin documentation.
The author is hesitant to adopt the new tools, worrying they might be poorly supported side projects that will be abandoned, and is seeking advice on whether to migrate from their manual configuration approach.
