    Nicely done! Very cool.

    And good job on the excellent GIF in the readme which completely demonstrates what it does - something that's often missing on such projects.

    Got a chuckle out of this too:

    "... via OpenAI" in the title would have gone a long way toward telling me I can skip this

    That's genius! Thank you. Definitely going to use it, as I'm building a pre-designed sections website builder, using Tailwind, so I need a lot of designs.

    I thought this was going to be a project where someone made a smartboard that converted sketches to html in real time.

    I suppose this is more practical.

    More ChatBLT garbage.
