Out of interest:) What are the advantages of it being a wordpress Plugin itself instead of a Webapp/ VS Code extension? And Examples which you created using this would be awesome

The obvious advantage is that the generated plugin can be installed and tested right away.

I use AI to generate simple site-specific plugins, to avoid having to install a bloated plugin that has a ton of unneeded features and keeps telling me to buy the premium version. Here are some example functionalities I implemented with AI-made plugins:

- Newsletter subscription https://github.com/balazsrm/wp-simple-newsletter-subscriptio... - Maintenance mode plugin https://github.com/balazsrm/wp-simple-maintenance-mode-redir... - Per-page custom CSS https://github.com/balazsrm/wp-simple-custom-css-per-page - API key authentication for REST API https://github.com/balazsrm/wp-rest-api-key-auth- Contact form - Cookie opt-in - Allow more characters in post slugs - Redirect based on the browser language

I've made at least a dozen different plugins that I actually use on live sites. Before this plugin, I used my custom GPT to generate plugins (it's called WP Plugin Architect GPT), and before that, I simply used ChatGPT to generate them.

really cool, love it!
