Presentation

this project is free but experimental, you will have to configure your own API credentials to access OpenAI (for GPT-3 / text-davinci-003, and dall-e 2).

Currently Replicate (stable diffusion) is disabled, as I had some latency issues with it (maybe I will put it back in the future!)

Quick start

Prerequisites

You will need NVM and Node 18.12.1

Initial setup

cd web4
nvm use
yarn

Don't mind too much those errors (we don't use IPFS yet):

electron@npm:1.8.8 couldn't be built successfully
wrtc@npm:0.4.7 couldn't be built successfully

The app will still load just fine.

Before starting the app

web4 is free, but not OpenAI! You will need to configure your token in a .env.local config file:

cp .env.sample .env.local
open .env.local

And configure your OpenAI access token key:

NEXT_PUBLIC_PROVIDER_OPENAI_API_TOKEN=write_your_openai_key_here

Running the app in development

You have 3 different options to run the app:

In a browser (recommended)

This solution is recommended during development or if you experience build issues.

yarn dev

Then go to http://localhost:1420

In a standalone browser (advanced)

This solution requires a working Rust environment, and is recommended if you need to develop things interacting with the OS (eg. custom windows, system toolbar, auto updater..)

yarn tauri:dev

Generate a production build for yourselves (advanced)

This is not recommended for day-to-day development as it is slow, and currently there is an issue with images.

yarn tauri build

then:

• copy the app to your Application dir
• start the app

Known important bugs

Images don't seem to work when runing a standalone built using yarn tauri build, it might be caused by a security setting.

Using the browser

Working (most of the time) examples

Here are some examples to get you started:

• a back-office application to manage users. There is a table with editable cells, a button to add a new user, and a counter of users.
• a simulation of calculating PI by generating random dots inside a circle. The simulator should include a slider to adjust the speed, a reset button, and the current estimate of PI.
• a simple app to compute your BMI, using form inputs for age, height and weight (in kilos)
• a whack-a-mole game but with spiders, a css 3-per-3 grid, emojis, and JS code
• a clone of asteroid using <canvas>, the mouse should orient the spaceship, it should fire bullets when clicking, and bullets can destroy asteroids.
• website for a company selling time travel visit packages (great pyramids, Trojan wars..). The website features 3 polaroid pictures taken by tourists of those eras

Non-working examples

Those examples don't work yet.. maybe one day in text-davinci-004 or 005?

• a 120 BPM drum machine made using tone.js, with a step sequencer made using html checkboxes, to indicate when to play. Each row should be a different instrument (kick, snare, hihat), 8 buttons per row. There is a button to start/stop.

FAQ

The UI/UX should be improved

I agree!

Uhh.. something went wrong

Try clicking again on generate 🎲

No I mean, something went REALLY wrong

Maybe you did too many requests to OpenAI?

I don't.. know?

Wait a bit then restart the application, eg. kill it from the terminal.
