01100010.wtf is a simple text-to-binary converter made mostly by OpenAI's ChatGPT. A few days ago when I started playing around with the tool I was amazed at how it was able to produce production quality code with ease and even fix itself when something didn't work.

My skill set is mostly in web/product design, I'm fairly fluent in HTML/CSS but JavaScript is something I've always struggled with. I wanted to see if I could get ChatGPT to build the logic for a simple text-to-binary converter. When it did this without breaking a sweat I started adding more features such as a copy button and having the buttons be disabled during certain states, etc. I quickly realized that this was something I could design, build and lunch within the span of a day and here we are.

ChatGPT wrote most of the code associated with this, I designed the front end and wrote all the CSS. Important to note — I could have had ChatGPT write all the CSS as well but that would have taken longer, the whole point in building this was to demonstrate that tools like ChatGPT can drastically lower the barrier to entry when it comes to building on the internet and help you leverage the skills you have, and delegate the skills you don't.

I've had some of the most fun I've ever had building software, taking this from idea to launch in less than 24 hours. I hope this encourages you to open a new tab and just start experimenting.
