The Infinite Website is a web application that dynamically generates HTML on runtime using ChatGPT and serves it in an async Flask application.

Of course, this README was also made with ChatGPT.

Features

• Dynamic HTML generation using ChatGPT
• Async Flask application
• Interactive and engaging web experiences

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• pip package manager

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://gitlab.com/rogs/the-infinite-website.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd the-infinite-website

3. Create a virtualenv and install the required Python dependencies:

   virtualenv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   (.venv) pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Create your .env file and add your OPENAI_KEY:

   cp .env.example .env
   
   # Edit the .env file and add your OPENAI_KEY

Usage

1. With the virtualenv activated, start the Flask server:

   (.venv) flask run

2. Access the application by visiting `http://localhost:5000` in your web browser.

Performance Considerations

The dynamic HTML generation process performed by ChatGPT during runtime can introduce some performance overhead, especially for complex or computationally intensive requests. As a result, the app's response times may be slower compared to pre-rendered static HTML websites.
