Creating 10,000+ Apps in a Month with GPT-Powered Full Stack Web Generator: A Deep Dive into Mage
Discover how I created a GPT-powered full-stack web generator, Mage, which generated over 10,000 applications in just one month, and learn the secret sauce behind its speed and affordability.
- 1. The speaker, MAA, demonstrates creating a full-stack web app using GPT and a tool called Wasp.
- 2. The process starts by naming the application and describing how it works in a few sentences.
- 3. After generating the app, the user can download it locally and run it with Wasp via the command line.
- 4. The resulting app is a fully functional full-stack web app built with React, Node.js, and Wasp.
- 5. Wasp uses a single configuration file to describe the app at a high level in a declarative manner.
- 6. The generated code includes both client-side React code and server-side Node.js functions.
- 7. Wasp allows for easy deployment with a single CLI command, supporting various hosting providers like Fly.io.
- 8. Mage was designed specifically for generating full-stack web apps using React, Node.js, and Wasp.
- 9. The tool utilizes a high-level web framework called Vos to reduce boilerplate and simplify the code generation process.
- 10. Mage fixes errors in the generated code before presenting it to the user.
- 11. A significant portion of the code can be generated upfront without even accessing the OpenAI API for GPT.
- 12. Mage divides the code generation process into three main phases: planning, generating the code, and fixing errors.
- 13. The most common errors are identified and fixed with heuristics before involving GPT.
- 14. The cost of creating an app with Mage is typically between 10 to 20 cents, depending on the usage of GPT 3.5 or GPT 4.
- 15. Using GPT 4 exclusively for the entire process would increase costs by approximately ten times.
- 16. Mage uses GPT 4 only in the planning stage, which is the most complex and creative step, while using GPT 3.5 for implementation to reduce costs.
- 17. Mage provides a highly guided environment for the code generation agent, taking advantage of Wasp's web abstractions.
- 18. Mage generates full-stack web apps with minimal errors, allowing users to easily detect and fix any issues that arise.
- 19. The tool has gained popularity as a customizable starting point for full-stack web applications.
- 20. Mage is expected to evolve by adding live debugging features, user interaction beyond the initial prompt, and exploring fine-tuned LLMs tailored for VP and web development.
- 21. Mage's creators also developed Wasp, a fully open-source web framework that simplifies developing with React and Node.js.
- 22. Users are encouraged to try Mage and share their experiences with the creators.
- 23. The creators welcome questions and comments on their Discord server.
- 24. The video was created as an experiment to test the capabilities of Mage in generating full-stack web applications using Wasp.
