I built an ugly but working site to share and discover custom GPTs

[verah]

Hi, I quickly hacked together a barebones site for finding and sharing GPT prompts with AI yesterday:

GPTsHunter.com

https://preview.redd.it/omi57ay8q6z...bp&s=43405096b886a502605f9ea5b0d1c35b24f9e4c6

It automatically indexes tweets contains GPT url posted publicly on Twitter. No fancy design or database, just MVP to test the concept.

Behind the scenes:

• Data is stored in a simple data.json file that's read/written to add/remove prompts
• UI is basic Tailwind HTML generated by AI
• Link scraping and processing logic is also coded by AI
• No search or categories yet

I know the code is messy but it works for a v1! Feedback and suggestions welcome.

It's amazing how quickly you can build a functioning web app today with AI assistance. I plan to iterate on GPTsHunter over time and add features like search, tagging, user accounts.

But I wanted to launch early and see if people find this useful. Please check it out and let me know.

Let me know what you think!

@verah That looks cool. Your mvp looks way better than any of my mvps

 

[verah]

@lutherisch Thanks. And a new UI has been released.

@verah Hi there, could you please give a reason why we need an unofficial GPTs directory over the official GPTs store about to launch soon? Thanks.

 

[verah]

@smiddy10 Thanks for the thoughtful question. Here are a few potential advantages an unofficial community-driven directory could offer: Faster iteration, Open participation, Customizability. You can look forward to more features launching soon.

@verah Thanks for the reply! I've made a list of GPTs directories here and added yours: https://tailgram.com/GVWyZOBM

@smiddy10 Cool! Thank you.

@smiddy10 Hello, I found a mistake, my launch date was November 7 when I posted on ProductHunt.

 

[smiddy10]

@verah Thanks for letting me know. I've updated the list. ✌

 

[verah]

@smiddy10 Thank you so much!

@smiddy10 Good idea putting this together.

@bmendez88 Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 1,902,148,262 comments, and only 359,686 of them were in alphabetical order.
