This project provides a well-designed, one-click deployable ChatGPT web UI, targeting users who want a private, customizable ChatGPT interface. It offers features like Markdown support, prompt templates, and local data storage, enhancing user experience and privacy.

How It Works

The UI is built with a focus on ease of deployment and user experience, leveraging Vercel for one-click deployment. It supports streaming responses, Markdown rendering (including LaTeX and Mermaid), and PWA capabilities. A key architectural choice is storing all data locally in the browser, prioritizing user privacy. It also includes features for creating, sharing, and debugging chat tools via prompt templates.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Deploy: One-click deployment via Vercel (link provided in README).
• Prerequisites: OpenAI API Key is required. Optional environment variables include CODE (access password), BASE_URL (for custom OpenAI endpoints), OPENAI_ORG_ID, HIDE_USER_API_KEY, and DISABLE_GPT4. For Midjourney integration, MIDJOURNEY_API_KEY, MIDJOURNEY_API_URL, and MIDJOURNEY_IMG_PROXY are needed.
• Local Development: Requires Node.js and Yarn.
• Docker: docker pull zo3i/chatgptwithmidjourney and docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-xxxx" -e CODE="your-password" zo3i/chatgptwithmidjourney.
• Resources: Minimal client size (~5MB).

Limitations & Caveats

The project explicitly states that user login, account management, and cloud sync are not planned features. Automatic updates require forking the repository and enabling GitHub Actions workflows due to Vercel's deployment model.
