I was annoyed by the default OpenAI ChatGPT slow-typing animation and logging me out every day, so I built a new UI client on top of its API. It's a static web app, you can host it yourself, data is stored locally on your browser, API requests are made directly to OpenAI API without any middle server. It has some more convenient features that make your that experience way better. Like search chat history, prompt libr…

Ohh man I wanted to publish my own electron app today :( It's basically doing the same thing. I found that using API keys is also significantly cheaper than using the subscription with moderate usage. Congrats on the release.

Don't worry there are only about 10,000 people working on similar apps right now ;)

Cool project! Thank you! I would request a new feature, a page/document upload (in parts if it is big) to update the right\correct context. For example the current documentation for the framework I use version 27, but chatgpt only knows version 17 of it and I have to upload pieces of documentation every time to get correct updated code snippets. That would be great, something like a button\action with a promt that wo…

That can become expensive though (not least computationally) to use almost all of those 4000 tokens for your document every time you ask a question.

it depends in using paid or free version :) if 3.5-turbo and next vers. can crawl links and already got updated info, my feature request is unneeded )

Bing Chat can crawl links, or use the current page as context if you use it in the Edge sidebar.

Shameless plug: I just don't like closed-source software; here is my attempt at re-implementing ChatGPT's UI as a desktop app with the ChatGPT API, and it is open source: https://github.com/chatgptui/desktop I've implemented most of features of ChatGPT, text-to-speech via Azure, and keyboard shortcuts such as tab/shift+tab.

Edit: However, as typingmind is earning more than $1000, it should have more features and better maintenance.

> I was annoyed by the default OpenAI ChatGPT slow-typing animation I’d assumed ChatGPT’s slow-typing was actually the model’s real-time output, streamed to the browser token-by-token. When I’ve made GPT3 API calls it’s worked like this, with streaming switched off I might need to wait ~20 seconds for a long response back. I just tried your UI, and it’s so much faster ! Was my assumption about real-time output wrong?…

Yep, I was surprised I about the response time too. I'm not sure what's going on under the hood, maybe OpenAI did something with the stream output that causes the slowness.

Perhaps it is simply a way to limit the number of queries? If you force people to wait 10s for an answer they aren't writing new questions all the time.

Isn’t ChatGPT itself closed source?

I mean, - ChatGPT's UI is closed-source, so I implemented a UI that looks almost identical to ChatGPT, - While ChatGPT's AI model is closed source, it can be accessed through the OpenAI API.
