       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:
       https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36422730  Would love feedback
       if you give it a try!

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

         | 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?

       | 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.

         | Well, yeah, that's what it's for: something for PMs/POs to make

       | This feels like such an inevitable product. I already love using

       | 
       | 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?

       | the browser IDE without any local filesystem?

       | Wow. I typed in: Create a page that has a snake game clone that
       | you can control with the keyboard.
       | 
       | Within <20 seconds, i was playing it. That was crazy. I then
       | asked it to add better graphics, retro-style. And add a counter
       | displaying the current snake length. And then finally, add a high
       | score tracker after the game ended. Adding the tracker caused an
       | error, and I told it to fix the error. It looked at the logs and
       | fixed it. There is still a bug where the top 10 scores all update
       | at once, but I'm sure if i didn't hit the free credit limit on
       | the site I could ask it to fix that.
       | 
       | I did all of this within ~3 minutes. It works, and while it is
       | very suboptimal (it plays Snake using basic React state code, not
       | ideal lol), the speed of this and how surprised I am reminds me
       | of the first time I talked with ChatGPT 2 years ago. Amazing
       | work.
       | 
       | I don't know if these are shareable, but this is the link I'm
       | using to view the page it built:

         | Just a warning about testing with snake/tetris - they're the
         | most reimplemented games in the world and there's so many
         | examples those models learned from. For a more realistic test,
         | it's better to try something novel.

           | Agreed, but I think that dismisses the ease of use of this
           | product compared to other offerings. Being able to type in a
           | single sentence and have a full webpage of exactly what you
           | asked for in less time than takes to stand up and stretch is
           | kind of magical.

       | Gave it a whirl and it certainly did the job, albeit a bit basic
       | in its implementation. Would love to see it veer into being a bit
       | more creative in its choices (maybe you can have an input for a
       | more chaotic input like they do in midjourney. Congrats on
       | launch! This is very cool
