My experience was similar. I am most comfortable coding in python, and my html/css/js skills are not strong. I don't have the patience to stay current with frontend tools or to bash my way through all the stack overflow searching that it would require for me to code frontend stuff.
So with that context, I was able to have chatgpt do all of the heavy lifting of building a webapp. I was able to build my wish list of features like immersive reading with synchronized sound and word highlighting. Stuff that I probably wouldn't have had enough motivation to complete on my own.
But the architecture of the code is poor. It repeats itself and would be hard to maintain. I think much of this could be improved by spending more time asking gpt to refactor and restructure. The same way a senior developer might provide feedback to a junior dev's first coding project. I did some of this along the way, but that code base needs more if it were to be an ongoing project.
