$30 is far too expensive for a GPT-4 wrapper. I'd much rather pay for ChatGPT, run Vite locally and prompt "You are a tailwind assistant that generates CSS..."

- usernamed7 2y agoIt's the authors choice to set the price, and they do offer a free plan. For you maybe the value isn't there, but that doesn't mean a "GPT-4 wrapper" can't provide others value. And I give credit to the author for going with $30 instead of something silly like $6 because trying to build a business on $6/mo is a much harder than on $30/mo.
- amsterdorn 2y agoYou think the chance that 5 people think $6 is a reasonable price is lower than one person thinking $30 is?
- dragonwriter 2y agoThat's not at all improbable. And if you can't set things up so both minnows and whales are paying the price they are comfortable, its often a better business decision to dump the minnows and the overhead of supporting them and focus on the whales rather than having both, but paying minnow prices.

- throwaway054624 2y agoIt is convenient to see a preview of the generated code without having to copy/paste it to your IDE and switch to the browser. But I see it as mostly useful in the beginning when you are starting, or want to create standalone components. It would be great if it was implemented as a plugin to an IDE and could understand and modify an existing project.
- amsterdorn 2y agoBy suggesting it's "mostly useful in the beginning" you are admitting that at some point they will copy+paste it to their project. So the convenience factor is a moot point. I see the value, I just think that's an unrealistic price given the current features.
