Show HN: Simple open-source cmd+b interface to OpenAI’s API
We got tired of searching both the chat and playground tabs of OpenAI every time we had a question, and quite annoyed when the free research preview did not work for a day. We searched for a simple interface to the chat API and found many paid extensions that sell buckets of queries for some $/mo, which there is no way we were gonna use, so we just built this.
Note that this is a pre-release version. There’s obviously a lot to fix and polish, but we’ve used it a lot for the past couple of days, and even though many things don't work, we really enjoyed it (we stopped using https://chat.openai.com/chat https://chat.openai.com/chat).
Hope you'll enjoy it as well, any feedback is more than welcome :)
- talboren 4y agointeresting, did you mean ctrl/command+k btw?
- TalFeld 4y agoYup, it is a ctrl/command+k-like. We just decided on cmd+b since many domains have their own cmd+k functionality that we don't want to override.
- talboren 4y agogot it, thanks
- chatmasta 4y agoCool project, but I agree "cmd+b" was pretty confusing, and meaningless to me (the closest shortcut I'm familiar with is my tmux leader command, which is ctrl+b). I'd suggest rephrasing the readme to use the term "command palette," which I think is the more recognizable name for this functionality. Or maybe you could riff on the idea of "application launcher" by calling this a "prompt launcher."
- TalFeld 4y agoInteresting, sounds like we need to go over how we present things and make sure it's clear. Thanks for the pro terms tips!
- shahargl 4y agoThanks for showing! Will you add also midjourney integration?
- TalFeld 4y agoHey @shahargl! We're definitely looking at adding more models and probably prioritizing users' requests. Any other models you'd like to see buddy support?
- gorkemcetin 4y agoI would call it “cmdk”. Many (if not most) apps use this shortcut. A non-complete list is here: https://commandpalette.org https://commandpalette.org
- TalFeld 4y agoThanks!
