Very cool. I use a custom local UI as well, based on a fork of a similar project called ChatPad (https://github.com/deiucanta/chatpad). That also uses Mantine UI, and lets you create and save prompts just like chats. Data is stored locally using indexdb. I embedded it in an electron app, which lets me run it from my dock rather than a terminal. But what's missing is speech-to-text, so it's great to see this project has that.

There are a few drawbacks to local, I've discovered. For example I doubt the new plugins can be extended to beyond ChatGPT's web UI. Also, it doesn't stream response tokens as they're generated, which is a pain. I haven't looked into whether OpenAPI let you do that though.

Nice work!
