It sounds like a good idea to send your codebase through a MITM to OpenAI, both of these ideas I mean.

The files you pass to promptr are indeed sent to OpenAI. There’s no man in the middle. Privacy is important, and I’m glad you care.

The relevant code is here https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr/blob/3ae09d1cffbb6b93...

I think, if I am not wrong, commentator is saying that you are the man in the middle.
Is it really a MITM if the codebase is open source and you trust him to deploy that code
Default trust is problem. How can you establish if this person is a good faith actor?
This is good for security overall... think about it, if we sent all of our stuff to the NSA, they would find security bugs and fix them for us.
NSA be like:

"Romani ite domum"

After catching you writing:

"Romanes eunt domus"

Is the size/file limit with OpenAI API different than what you can send via ChatGPT in the browser?

How much are you going to pay for example to send a 1kb, 2kb, 4kb, 8kb, 16kb source file for analysis? If you are paying per "token", a 3kb file I have with like 70 lines of code might have 2-3 tokens per line if I understand what a token is, 210 tokens? Each token costs...

Ok, not as bad as I thought.
