About Author 🐑

About Author is a decorative card that sits on your canvas and says who made the pack you're using. No inputs, no outputs, no settings that matter - drop it next to a workflow you're about to screenshot or share, and anyone who opens the JSON sees who to thank (or blame). That's the whole job, and it does it well.

It's the rare ComfyUI node that's honest about being frontend-only. The Python class behind it is a no-op shell that exists purely so ComfyUI can list the node and serialize it into workflow JSON; all the rendering happens in js/textNodes.js. Nothing executes, nothing hits a model, nothing touches your GPU. It's the same trick rgthree's Label nodes use - the pack credits rgthree-comfy as the reference implementation - and it's a nice way to carry a signature through a graph without a single pixel of compute.

The card itself shows the pack's author (黎黎原上咩 / SweetValberry), a tagline, and a row of links: Bilibili tutorials, YouTube, the GitHub org, a downloadable "整合包" (integrated bundle), and a knowledge base. Content is fetched from js/profiles/author.json and cached into the node's serialized author_* properties, which take precedence - so the card still renders correctly even if you're opening a shared workflow on an install where that file doesn't exist. The only per-instance choice is the theme, picked from the right-click menu: a warm Animal-Crossing-inspired "Leaf" (the default), Dark, Light, or a near-invisible Minimal. That's it.

Installation is just the pack install, since this node rides along in ComfyUI-MieNodes:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/MieMieeeee/ComfyUI-MieNodes
# then restart ComfyUI

Or search for "ComfyUI_MieNodes" in ComfyUI Manager and hit install. The pack pulls in a normal pile of Python deps (pillow, requests, huggingface_hub, opencv-python, soundfile, and friends) but no model downloads, so nothing heavy happens on first launch.

There's essentially nothing to troubleshoot, which is the point. The one honest gotcha: this card is about the pack author, not about you. If you're publishing a workflow and don't want someone else's branding and links baked into it, delete the node before exporting - it serializes into the JSON and travels with the file. And because it never executes, it won't do anything in a headless batch run; it's decoration for human eyes. Use it as a footer on workflows you share, and enjoy the fact that it's one of the few things in ComfyUI that can't break your render.
