Making a website with ChatGPT: DiscussAnyPage

Summary I went from an idea to a live website using ChatGPT in only a handful of prompts and a couple of hours, writing no code myself, and only copy and pasting commands.

Sure, sites like Reddit and Disqus are similar, but I wanted to implemented in a different way. From any webpage, a bookmarklet or browser extension would automatically create a page on a website (I called it DiscussAnyPage, or DAP for short) where anyone can leave comments specifically for that webpage.

Arduino Myopia Measurer

Introduction I always loved tinkering with electronics - that’s why I did Electronics at A-Level and went on to do Electrical & Electronic Engineering at university. However, over the last few years, due to work, travel, and other life goings-on, I haven’t had a chance to play around. Recently I saw an Arduino kit on sale on Amazon and decided to jump back in! Especially as I found some software so you can use one as a PLC… Watch this space.
