GPT Code Viewer – Collaborate with ChatGPT on local code (no API keys)

6 Bumiranks 2 4/25/2025, 3:13:12 PM

Hey HN! I've built a small tool to securely expose your local project to ChatGPT using a browser interface and `cloudflared`. It makes debugging or explaining code to ChatGPT much easier – without the need for plugins or API keys.

GitHub: https://github.com/bumiranks/gpt-code-viewer

Would love to hear what you think!

For me it was always a pain to be able to send to gpt as fast as possible contents of multiple files from my codebase, like choose them, get paths, drag drop, can't find a way to do it fast and less annoying
