But in my personal life, I mostly stuck to creating fun images with Midjourney or casually playing around with different AI tools.

Sure, I once “coded” a super basic game as a proof-of-concept, but that was about it.

So I wanted to try something a bit more practical.

Namely, I wanted to see whether I could use Bing Chat to come up with a useful idea for a site and help me take it all the way to launch.

This was initially supposed to be a single post, but—as you’ll soon see—I ran into challenges during the minor “actually coding the site” phase.

As such, this post will cover only the first stages of the process. I hope to wrap it up in a follow-up post next week.
