Show HN: Claude Artifacts but creating real web apps

Hey Hacker News!

Launching gptengineer.app into beta today.

It's like Claude Artifacts, but:

- you can edit the code in your fav IDE (two-way github sync)

- installs npm packages

- automatically picks up build and runtime errors and fixes them

- very fast, built with rust

The full stack capabilities are built on supabase (prefer to not have to handle auth + user data at this point so this is owned by the user)

The seed for this project was an open source experiment, posted about that previously here:

Would love feedback if you give it a try!

Very cool, love the community projects showcase and the ability to remix them.

Thanks!

Let me know if you have any input on what we could add, we're iterating super fast on the exactly right form factor.

Having not used Claude artifacts, maybe a better introduction to how the tool works/looks before signing up?

It's such an easy way to create prototypes for anything you could think of

This is mind blowing. This is not just a toy, I made a landing page that is publishable in 3 prompts.

Thanks! Happy to get more things not working as expected yet if there's anything.

This has the same problem as the vercel v0 demo. This is good for like basic apps and stuff but nothing major beyond that and then if you want toy apps in the first place, to cook it up, if you know little bit of HTML and CSS, is not that hard either.

This feels like such an inevitable product. I already love using it. Congrats on the excellent launch!

One feature request would be a search for the existing public projects so that I can use remix to jump start my project.

Two questions:

1) Given the name, is it fair to assume that this uses OpenAI's API as opposed to Anthropic or others?

2) In the initial create prompt, what kind of files are allowed as attachments? What type of files give best results?
