Anybody working on building ChatGPT Apps? https://developers.openai.com/apps-sdk I've been trying to get an idea which Clojure MCP SDKs to use as well as which front-end tech is a good fit for ChatGPT App UIs.

Hi beders, you can use Clojure-MCP if you're building a sophisticated LLM-agent / developer-assistant style product. and then you can use oai-clj or me.pmatiello/openai-api if you just need to build a chat app with OpenAI GPT. On the front end, Svelte (or SvelteKit) is my top pick for a clean, performant chat UI. If your team is very familiar with React / wants more ecosystem maturity, React + Next.js is also a great choice. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestions! For the front-end, I'd like to use at least something like shadow-cljs hot reload - but with minimal dependencies for the rest of the stack. I've looked at the example React GPT Pizza UI source code: It looks like a garbled mess to be honest. Maybe Squint + a reagent-like + a re-frame-like would work

looks like Vite's hot-reload already does the trick together with squint watch

well, so far I've been down a couple rabbit holes with my main concern having a webpage that loads quickly so TTI is minimal. And I want the cake too: state management hiccup reagent-like

these whole pages are UI components shown inside a ChatGPT chat window with various constraints

relying on a state-of-the-art tree shaker and minimizer like Vite is probably a good idea (if that is state of the art indeed)
