Shameless plug: I just don't like closed-source software; here is my attempt at re-implementing ChatGPT's UI as a desktop app with the ChatGPT API, and it is open source: https://github.com/chatgptui/desktop I've implemented most of features of ChatGPT, text-to-speech via Azure, and keyboard shortcuts such as tab/shift+tab.

Edit: However, as typingmind is earning more than $1000, it should have more features and better maintenance.

Isn’t ChatGPT itself closed source?
I mean, - ChatGPT's UI is closed-source, so I implemented a UI that looks almost identical to ChatGPT, - While ChatGPT's AI model is closed source, it can be accessed through the OpenAI API.
Not to mention, there are already OpenAI API clones which handle running against any of the open-source models. When they get more powerful and act as an actual competitor, it'll be very nice to have open-source components throughout the stack.
