This is handy stuff, thanks for sharing. We are working on transporting tasks back and forth from TUI<>Web<>App<>VR ; this is a great and straightforward example of that.

I use VSCode CoPilot constantly as simple augmentation and typing-saving — not for wholesale creation of code. I’ve seen my pre-novice daughter use ChatGPT and the results were mixed (good in some ways, horrible in others).

Can you elaborate more on your ChatGPT/LLM working style for this?

Sure thing! The collaboration with ChatGPT was like having a friendly coding buddy. I threw in ideas, got feedback, and we built this tool together. We chatted about names, features, and even how to post it. It's like having an AI pal who's great at brainstorming and coding. Fun times!

^ asked Chat GPT to generate this from my earlier prompts :)

Some other notes, I am a developer who love to make usable products, and these years I learned the usability is most important especially when you are developing in the early stages of a product. So I fed some ideas, asked suggestions, gave some tech stacks (for example, I asked chatGPT to not go with webpack, instead simply load React from CDN for quick iteration. and suggested memoisation on React to render things faster). So process wise similar to any other product development, but it's like having someone listen to your feedback and instructions and do the work- I would like to call collaboration!

Thanks for those details!
