[Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [This newsletter is brought to you by]( TOP NEWS Happy Monday! A new week means new products, and we’re starting today off strong with a big update from the AI-image generation platform, Midjourney. But first… The headlines: 🇫🇷[Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, has been arrested in France.Â]( 👓[Meta plans to debut its new budget-friendly VR headset next month.Â]( 🧵[Instagram’s X competitor, Threads, is now testing ephemeral posts.Â]( PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT [Midjourney moves away from Discord and launches its own web platform]( Want to experiment with Midjourney but don’t want to sign up for Discord? You’re in luck—Midjourney now lets you create up to 25 images for free (on a temporary free trial), all without needing to sign up for Discord. The announcement came from [CEO David Holz]( (yes, on Discord), but now you can use the tool directly through a [dedicated web app](. Previously, using Midjourney meant navigating its Discord server and learning a specific prompt format, which worked well for dedicated users but felt like a hassle for many. Now, you can just head to Midjourney’s site, sign up, and start creating. [The website]( was originally only available to those who had already made 10,000 images via Discord—quite the milestone—but it’s now open to everyone. You still need to register, but you can use your Google account if that’s easier for you. Once you’re signed in, you can browse images in the [‘Explore’]( section for ideas, and when you’re ready to create, simply enter your prompt in the ‘Create’ tab. The AI will generate four images based on what you’ve entered, and if you want to tweak them, you can use the “Strong” or “Subtle” options to adjust the output. After your 25 free images, you’ll need to subscribe if you want to keep creating, and plans start at $10 per month for the basic tier. [Check it out]( Sponsored By Today, making a single video requires multiple tools, multiple people, and sometimes weeks of work.
