Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I made a FOSS browser extension that enhances the ChatGPT UI (lemm.ee)

It’s not the most fancy thing out there, but if you’re still using ChatGPT 3.5 and are looking for something a little different, why not give GPThemes a try? It’s a free and open-source browser extension for Chrome and Firefox (Desktop and Android) that’ll give your ChatGPT website a fresh new look....

Ah, this is my first post, so I wasn’t sure if PNG images are supported. I uploaded a JPG instead, so please forgive the broken appearance and white asymmetric edges of the image 🥲

EDIT: reuploaded image

fossit,

Yes, I’ve noticed that even here (on Lemmy), there’s been some kind of unfounded downvote culture emerging. I’m not saying it’s unfounded in this case, btw. Of course, not everything is to everyone’s taste, but generally, there are plenty of downvotes on very high-quality and relevant content. I remember when downvotes were a great way to quickly filter out low-quality content. But now, I’m not so sure.

It seems a bit “lame” that a plugin for a project “fails” if it’s not inherently bad, but the project itself is disliked by someone, but okay, it is what it is.

By the way, thanks if you think this is cool. I would definitely love to hear your opinion if you decide to try the extension eventually.

Well, I guess I’ll just have to take those bullets for ChatGPT then 🥲

EDIT: ‘mostly’? Shoot it

fossit,

Who wouldn’t want to afford a PC setup and components that would support local LLMs, there are so many benefits to that.

But the reality is that even when I start Docker, my poor PC turns into a smoker 🥲

The thing is I literally said at the very beginning of the post:

If you’re still using ChatGPT 3.5 and are looking for something a little different…

that someone who isn’t interested in or doesn’t use ChatGPT shouldn’t waste their time and shouldn’t read further.

It’s still very difficult to find an adequate Lemmy communities for posting such things. Although GPThemes is FOSS, I didn’t consider it appropriate to post on a foss-focused communites because I’m aware that it operates on a closed platform and assumed that people wouldn’t like that. I thought ‘programming’ would be an okay place for this, but it seems I misjudged.

And thank you @stepan for your attempt to get to the heart of the matter.

fossit,

Hmm, let’s leave GPT and this extension aside for now, those are just themes. But what bothers me here is that it seems (correct me if I’m wrong) you are saying that a closed source platform necessarily makes a foss plugin meaningless?

From the first post’s sentence:

and are you looking for something different

It seems like it all comes down to personal preference. For some, a more modern design is better, while for others it’s not, as we can see that here too. It’s so hard to know what would be best for you personally without knowing you, but you can help me by sharing that with us

The plan was for it to be just CSS, but as advanced as CSS is today, some things still aren’t possible with it alone. Javascript had to come into play, so no, this isn’t CSS-only.

But if your intention was to belittle CSS, how rude. I dare you to center a <div>

Oh, I see. That explains why your website’s front-end isn’t loading

fossit,

That’s cool. Have you explored Leptos’s features? I totally get why you went for a RS framework over Py’s, even though Py’s might be more stable for now. But is your project focused solely on the web, or do you plan for it to be cross-platform with support for mobile and desktop OS as well? I’d love to know why you chose Leptos over Dioxus?

(This is not suggestive question, I’m just really interested to know why you made that choice)

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?
