For example, here's a game where you are a mouse hunting for cheese in higher dimensional mazes: https://manifold-six-axis-escape.nathan338932.chatgpt.site/

Idea came to me while at a concert, was ready to play that same night.

Soon it will connect to Ads and it will runs for it as well.

Honestly since Opus 5.5, Opus is my interface for 95% off my work. I don’t open emails anymore i let it summarize draft and handle most of the work and I only talk to Claude and not read/write the emails myself.

I also barely go in analytics dashboards anymore, Most I do is creating artifacts to explain if text is not enough for me to understand.

I’m going to bed. I have analytics running for every cancellation on my software to see what goes on. I have a/b tests running that are getting interpreted automatically. My bugs are getting fixed automatically.

I can monitor my competitors and copy every feature a/b test resolution they’ve done instantly for (3$ of my budget)

I’m an early adaptor of the latest models. The labs will have better tools already, but it really feels like a breaking point. What’s normal for me today is normal for more tomorrow and the friction has never been lower...

Interesting..

What they might not realise is that stuff/services like these (ChatGPT Sites) are probably not much of a moat either in a world where majority of population has access to increasingly better models capable of building competitors in days if not hours. Even if they restrict usage of their models when it comes to creating competitor services there will always be other models that you can use to build competitor.

What is happening is that their products are putting people out of work but at the same time they are also enabling anyone to easily build competitors to their own products and are thus putting their own services “out of work”. They are essentially eating their own tail. Ouroboros. Is noone seeing that?

The only truly lasting moat might be hardware/compute. At least for now.

If you ask something like "please make a little website for me and my friends to plan our shopping lists on", I would expect the result to be:

"Here you go: https://shopping-lister.chatgpt.com/"

Unfortunately right now most AI models get into the weeds of asking the user to sign up to netlify or firebase or buying a domain etc - none of which most users are interested in doing.

It's seriously mind-blowing that this is allowed and most people seem okay with it

Then the app economy gets going within ChatGPT

I don’t think it’s all bad though. The labs aren’t going to release anything that makes sense if you’re trying to be vendor independent. So, gateways, vendor agnostic sandboxes, harnesses, etc. That’s where business opportunities may be.

We have internal service like this at $day_job which has become the default “information” authoring and sharing platform for almost all staff.

Information is more likely to be shared on this tool than through Confluence or an MS Word/PP artifact because HTML docs are so expressive and all friction in writimg HTML documents has disappeared.

Current AI is NOT going to replace web devs or coders because it cannot tabula rasa make human sense. I suspect the reverse with a Jevons thingy happening

Wonder what domain they're going to pick next. I feel like many LLM-dependent businesses are going to get sherlocked by OpenAI and Anthropic.

For whatever reason most of the sites are Arabic-language prototypes for things like plumbing companies. I'm not sure why - if those are solving a real problem, or whether someone is running a scam, or what.

However, I change the models too often, so I didn't want to be locked in a specific platform.

That is why I built getonup. It is a way to quickly deploy static pages using Cloudflare Workers on your own domain.

Just point your agent to the getonup repository and ask it to setup on your Cloudflare account on a certain domain (like pages.vitorbaptista.com). It will configure it and setup Cloudflare Zero Trust to secure your site. Then you'll have a date-ordered index (so you can see every artifact you deployed), and you can deploy static sites.

It is still very simple, but it has already been extremely useful for myself my team. We often publish multiple pages per day.

Here are a couple examples:

* https://pages.vitorbaptista.com/s/your-model-your-domain/

* https://pages.vitorbaptista.com/s/fmqpbix8/

Free and open source. Available at https://github.com/vitorbaptista/getonup.

I’ve been using exe.dev to throw up micro sites. It has a built in web agent and first party mobile app agent. And any coding agent that can use “ssh” (all of them) can easily figure out how to drive it.

It also has a lot more developer and PaaS tools like GitHub integration.

RIP Heroku for imploding before the wave of vibe coding. We had the ability to “spin up a free app on the internet” before it was cool.

I then asked the next question. How can I automatically update the embedded JSON data. It gave two answers which I thought was weird. First, it said I could using a plugin to an MCP server. Second, it said I could use an API and when I asked for which API... it said there was an API available in ChatGPT Sites but no details. So I assume it can be done.

What I am thinking of is to use ChatGPT sites as a replacement for SharePoint. I can create self contained HTML charts and let employees view it within our enterprise instance of ChatGPT. The piece I am working on is how to automatically update the embedded data from our database.

We have a platform that enables building both and I still find UIs to be quite relevant. Especially if it's so easy to build like in this case because you can always throw together a visualization for something quickly and then never look at it again.

This looks really cool and because I'm in a tangential space I know how fun and useful it's been to build and host stuff on the web quickly.

We're geared towards fully-fledged (serverless) apps and agents for internal use only though, in case it's of interest to anyone: https://railcode.dev/

Quiet cabins. A view of your own.

If models are commoditized and apps is where the grab is - I actually wouldn't mind a new email provider - GMail has not practically changed in the last 10 years I feel.

Most websites are basically pointless, more like pretty “brochures”.

In the near future, useful structured information will be dumped to websites that are funded through micropayments using x402 protocol. Agents will be the ones making these purchase decisions, replacing revenue historically brought by ads. Will be interesting to see the death of programmatic advertising on the web.

Frequently asked questions

My question ("Do you know what <details> and <summary> tags are?") doesn't appear to be here; but given the page functionality the answer seems to be no.

I get that this can be considered a "minor inconvenience", but I think it's pretty embarrassing on a page that's supposed to be marketing a website builder that's supposed to take care of knowing these things for you.

A year ago I spent maybe 12 hours on making a specific website with tons of functionality. It was a process, to say it mildly.

Tried Sites now, where I fed the design specs in a MD file, and it one-shotted the entire website in 30 mins. Adding functionality has been a breeze.

Only once, so far, has any update broken functionality - but it was promptly fixed.

I actually recently shared my own version of this concept, but self hosted. I'm optimistic that there can't be much lock-in from the big providers, but I think there's a large market to capture

You can rename your ChatGPT-hosted URL or connect a custom domain you own. If you rename the hosted URL, the old address redirects to the new one.

This means that, even though it an early access, you are not locked in. Good on them.

Still, I suspect a lot of independent Web developers are sweating. It was already getting tough, but this is a coffin nail.

i make it for anything, i made one as a food guide for the UW chow down https://uw-chow-down-2026.corruptbytes.chatgpt.site/

I know that Vercel or something similar is quite close to that, but it's not that well integrated into MCP/Skills.

We have been working on a website builder https://dollarpage.club

We have worked really hard to let users create beautifully designed bespoke websites

Examples https://tuningdragons.com, https://numbermuseum.com

I haven't used ChatGPT in over a month. I bounce between Grok, Gemini & Claude. Is ChatGPT even worth it.

Grok can do things the other two can't, like read and fetch websites sometimes where Claude and Gemini cannot.

Gemini is just someone to feed javascript to when you want to save on Claude tokens.

I'm genuinely sad that what we learned with hard work and sweat, our craft, our identity, our soul; is now something you can buy. I've been in this profession for a long time and now I see people who have absolutely no fucking clue, but lots of money, and they buy all these agents and make things that work (way more broken, with absolutely shit quality), but they work and so they brag about their creations to me all day long, and man that makes me feel like a total loser.

I spent decades trying to master media theory, language design, computer graphics, compiler design, rewriting systems, mathematics, logic, build systems, graphs, data-flow systems, making GUI kits, layout systems, ... all to make a better system for thinking, and now the whole idea of thinking is outsourced (as altman says "sold as utility by the meter"). I need to become an addict or something and be wasted. This is not a life.

They have dots, they had Sora, so many other things that take away attention from just having the best model. There are already a bazillion ways to do this. Sure, the integration's nice, but it's just not needed.
