>> We, us or our means Sandoche Adittane (Micro Entreprise), company number 79218834400016. They don't provide their business address nor their country or phone number. How can it be trusted?

Lol, I just literally deployed an implementation from a GitHub repo[0] for free on Fly.io hours ago. This way I can also check the code and just pay for what I use. Seems like a low-hanging fruit to leverage on people who are not that into tech that much.

This seems very useful to me, but is the kind of thing I'd write in an afternoon and release it as OSS. Still, most people won't want to self-host it, so the business model might work, good luck!

It's indeed possible, and you can easily find already existing OSS ChatGPT implementation that can serve as a base. I am more targeting no tech people or just the ones who don't want to bother building it / hosting it.

Do you mind sharing a gist showing how you deployed to fly.io?

That makes total sense, thanks!

Just seriously curious, won't you buy it because looks like it was created in a weekend? So maybe not reliable? I'm in a similar mood, but most of the indie maker's products are created this way and some end up scaling pretty well and turned in good investments, as they are usually cost-effective.

It's not about reliability, it's just that, for things this simple, I'm inclined to write the two Docker Compose lines to deploy this to my Harbormaster server than to pay for it.

I'm very much the minority, as I like to self-host, but it seems to me that an OSS solution would do the same thing,and equally reliably.

Then again, the value proposition in this is that it's hosted and you don't have to deal with OpenAI keys, so that's what users are paying for.

I'm building something similar, but it's for personal use only. That way users can self host their own version and play with it with their own API key. Cool project!

Nice one! If you check in the comment below someone share some self hostable bot aswell
