Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I made a browser extension that enhances the ChatGPT UI
(lemm.ee)
It's not the most fancy thing out there, but if you're still using ChatGPT 3.5 and are looking for something a little different, why not give GPThemes a try? It's a free and open-source browser extension for Chrome and Firefox (Desktop and Android) that'll give your ChatGPT website a fresh new look.
WHAT AWAITS YOU:
- Modern themes: Light, Dark, and Black (AMOLED) for a stylish and more visually appealing experience.
- Effortless theme switching: Change themes on the fly with a single click using floating button. Well, fine, Mr. Nitpicker, technically it's a two-click saga 🥲
- Chat bubbles: Modern and sleek conversation design that clearly differentiate your messages from the AI's responses
- Clean and spacious layout: No more feeling cramped, just generous spacing and clean lines for smooth chat sessions.
- Subtle animations: Enjoy a touch of elegance with subtle animations that enhance readability and flow.
⌛SOON: Custom theming to personalize your chat experience with your chosen accent color, adding a unique touch to your conversations. See the live preview as you're selecting your perfect hue via colorpicker.
SAFE AND TRANSPARENT:
- GPThemes requests two permissions:
- Storage: To remember your chosen theme across all ChatGPT pages.
- Access to
chat.openai.com(old) andchatgpt.com(new) domain: To modify the website's appearance within ChatGPT.
- Open-source code: You can see exactly what GPThemes does.

Correct, ChatGPT is proprietary spyware.
If the interface would support self hosted (local/offline) LLMs, then I'm sure people would be much more interested.
Who wouldn't want to afford a PC setup and components that would support local LLMs, there are so many benefits to that.
But the reality is that even when I start Docker, my poor PC turns into a smoker 🥲
I get that, but OP clearly put a lot of effort into this in a good faith, made it open source, and now when he posts it here, he gets downvoted without any comment (as of when I wrote mine) with reasoning behind it.
The thing is I literally said at the very beginning of the post:
that someone who isn't interested in or doesn't use ChatGPT shouldn't waste their time and shouldn't read further.
It's still very difficult to find an adequate Lemmy communities for posting such things. Although GPThemes is FOSS, I didn't consider it appropriate to post on a foss-focused communites because I'm aware that it operates on a closed platform and assumed that people wouldn't like that. I thought 'programming' would be an okay place for this, but it seems I misjudged.
And thank you @stepan@lemmy.cafe for your attempt to get to the heart of the matter.
