I'm submitting this before going to bed, so by the time it hits front page (if it does at all) I'll likely be asleep, so I won't be able to answer questions in time.

I advise you not to look up what it means in french.

Looks great! Very excited to try this out. At first glance I have one concern and one suggestion:<p>Concern: you mention it supports the actual ChatGPT Web API -- isn&#x27;t this against their terms of service? I&#x27;d be wary of publishing something that hits internal APIs.<p>Suggestion: I would rename what you call the &quot;ChatGPT&quot; (non-web) part of the backend to &quot;OpenAI API&quot; instead. There is already enough confusion in the world between ChatGPT and API access to the underlying GPT models.

Kudos for taking the effort of not being yet another Electron app.

Shameless plug for my version of this, also written in Rust: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;clarkmcc&#x2F;chitchat">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;clarkmcc&#x2F;chitchat</a>

Hi. This is the first time I&#x27;m trying an external app. I created an ChatGPT API key and configured it in Chie.<p>Once I tried asking ChatGPT it immediately replied &quot;You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details&quot; which I can&#x27;t believe is the case.<p>I then tried to press the copy button over this reply to paste it here but that raises an error: &quot;TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading &#x27;content&#x27;) at #copyTextAt (chieapp.exe\asar\dist\view\chat-view.js:1:11362).

Your &#x27;future plan&#x27; section says you want provide a subscription plan for gpt-4. Why would I pay a subscription to access my other subscription, especially when its a feature you currently offer for free. I feel like a one time fee to unlock access to premium models could be a better option. You will need to differentiate from your main free competition, chatboxai, to get a meaningful userbase like you have stated you want.

The UI toolkit it uses is Yue which I hadn’t heard of: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;libyue.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;latest&#x2F;js&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;libyue.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;latest&#x2F;js&#x2F;</a>

This looks nice! It says it&#x27;s not an Electron app, but GitHub says it&#x27;s written in TypeScript, so what UI toolkit does it use?<p>EDIT: Never mind this is mentioned in the technical details link, thanks!

I tried it and got the error &quot;You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.&quot;

Great job!<p>In the future, would you add support for local LLMs, such as LLaMa?

I like how it&#x27;s now a feature to not be an electron or webview app.
