I like how it's now a feature to not be an electron or webview app.

Hi. This is the first time I'm trying an external app. I created an ChatGPT API key and configured it in Chie.

Once I tried asking ChatGPT it immediately replied "You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details" which I can't believe is the case.

I then tried to press the copy button over this reply to paste it here but that raises an error: "TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'content') at #copyTextAt (chieapp.exe\asar\dist\view\chat-view.js:1:11362).

GPL3 License https://github.com/chieapp/chie/blob/main/LICENSE

Chie is currently licensed under the GPLv3, it will be relicensed to the MIT license on March 20th, 2028 (5 years after the first commit). I take this approach to discourage closed-source software from taking advantage of my work before it gets enough impacts.

Due to the future relicense, contributors will be asked to sign an agreement.

The agreement doesn't mention that it's just for relicensing to MIT.
