I built a quick experiment last weekend that allows you to use GPT4 to quickly generate single page web apps. These apps are immediately deployed at a shareable and bookmark-able web URL.

Even though I’m a programmer, I think the idea of letting users build little apps without coding to solve their own problems is super exciting. I specifically built this because I wanted to solve a tiny problem of mine. I have a goal of running 500 miles this year. I track my runs on Strava and it shows me the total number of miles for the year. But I wanted to know: how many miles should I have run by this point in the year to be on track? I prompted and iterated with Pico and a few mins, I had a simple app: [https://backend-pico.onrender.com/gender-hybrid](https://bac... that I could add to my iPhone home screen.

The apps built by Pico have lots of limitations (single page, can only use HTML/CSS/vanilla JS + popular JS libraries) but they can also be incredibly powerful and surprisingly useful sometimes. And sometimes, Pico will completely fail to generate anything useful :(

Here are some fun things you can build:

* Wordle, Tic Tac Toe, any simple game.

* TODO list.

* Daily affirmations/horoscope.

* Camera filter app

* Audio recorder and processor

* “App for lumberjacks”

See website for demo apps.

I would love to hear your feedback and see what you build with Pico.
