I built a dedicated roleplay chat UI for abliteration.ai: https://abliteration.ai/roleplayThe backend is OpenAI-compatible (/v1/chat/completions), with usage-based pricing and no prompt/output retention by default (details on the site). The UI is meant for long-form character chats and interactive fiction, without needing a local frontend.Docs (including a roleplay backend guide and a SillyTavern integration guide): https://abliteration.ai/docsWould love feedback on missing RP features, UX rough edges, and what you would expect from a roleplay-first interface.
