# screenshot-to-code

This is a simple app that converts a screenshot to HTML/Tailwind CSS. It uses GPT-4 Vision to generate the code, and DALL-E 3 to generate similar looking images.

## Updates

* Nov 16 - View code directly within the app
* Nov 15 - 🔥 You can now instruct the AI to update the code as you wish. Useful if the AI messed up some styles or missed a section.


## Getting Started

The app has a React/Vite frontend and a FastAPI backend. You will need an OpenAI API key with access to the GPT-4 Vision API.

Run the backend (I use Poetry for package management - `pip install poetry` if you don't have it):

```bash
cd backend
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key" > .env
poetry install
poetry shell
poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7000
```

Run the frontend:

```bash
cd frontend
yarn
yarn dev
```

Open http://localhost:5173 to use the app.

If you prefer to run the backend on a different port, update VITE_WS_BACKEND_URL in `frontend/.env.local`

## Docker

```bash
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key" > .env
docker-compose up -d --build
```

If you want to change the backend port to something other than 7000 (default) - for example, 7001. Then:

1. `echo "BACKEND_PORT=7001"`
2. `echo VITE_WS_BACKEND_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:7001 > frontend/.env.local`

Port 7000 sometimes is used by Airplay if you are on a mac. This will solve the docker error "Ports are not available... address already in use"

Application will be up and running at http://localhost:5173
