Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I made a 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.

WHAT AWAITS YOU:

Modern themes: Light, Dark, and Black (AMOLED) for a stylish and more visually appealing experience.
Effortless theme switching: Change themes on the fly with a single click using floating button. Well, fine, Mr. Nitpicker, technically it's a two-click saga 🥲
Chat bubbles: Modern and sleek conversation design that clearly differentiate your messages from the AI's responses
Clean and spacious layout: No more feeling cramped, just generous spacing and clean lines for smooth chat sessions.
Subtle animations: Enjoy a touch of elegance with subtle animations that enhance readability and flow.

⌛SOON: Custom theming to personalize your chat experience with your chosen accent color, adding a unique touch to your conversations. See the live preview as you're selecting your perfect hue via colorpicker.

SAFE AND TRANSPARENT:

GPThemes requests two permissions:
- Storage: To remember your chosen theme across all ChatGPT pages.
- Access to chat.openai.com (old) and chatgpt.com (new) domain: To modify the website's appearance within ChatGPT.
Open-source code: You can see exactly what GPThemes does.

This looks really cool! Is it down voted because people hate ChatGPT or what?

[–] fossit@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

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.

So just new CSS?

[–] fossit@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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>

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, I dare not belittle CSS. I haven't even done any real website development yet. It was all just Rust and Python backends.

[–] fossit@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Well, I haven't really started building it yet. I do plan on using Leptos for an upcoming project I have.

[–] fossit@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

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)
