Coding with AI: From prototyping with WebSim to unlocking local development with ChatGPT Server Commander
What You Will Find in This Article
In this article, I share my experience using WebSim for rapid prototyping and the limitations I encountered as my projects grew more complex. There are 2 video links to video demonstrations. I also explore various other tools like GitHub Copilot, Aider, Cursor, and GPTEngineer to overcome these limitations, before diving into my own tool — ChatGPT Server Commander — which I created to integrate ChatGPT into local development.

WebSim still is my go-to tool for quickly starting a prototype but now I find myself switching from it to continue beyond a certain scale.
I recently recorded a video highlighting these limitations and how they impact the development process. Here’s a summary of the key…
