Just discovered an amazing GPT-4 trick! 🤯 - Bakari Mustafa

Have you ever wanted to create a beautiful user interface for your web app, but didn’t have the time or skills to code it from scratch? Well, I have some good news for you. You can now use GPT-4 to generate an accurate 1:1 implementation of your dream UI, just by drawing it in ASCII art! 🎨

Yes, you read that right. GPT-4 is so powerful that it can understand your ASCII art and translate it into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code that will render exactly the same on any browser. ✨

How does it work? It’s simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Draw your dream UI in ASCII art. You can use any text editor or online tool to do this. For example, I drew this simple login form:

  +------------------------+

  |        Login           |

  +------------------------+

  | Username: [__________] |

  | Password: [__________] |

  |                        |

  | [Login]    [Register]  |

  +------------------------+

2. Let GPT-4 create an accurate 1:1 implementation. To do this, you need to use Create a New Pen (codepen.io), a free online coding platform. Create a new HTML/CSS/JS project and paste your ASCII art into the HTML file. Then, click the GPT-4 button in the top right corner and wait for a few seconds. GPT-4 will analyze your ASCII art and generate the corresponding code for you. For example, this is what GPT-4 generated for my login form:

HTML code for the Login and Registration Form:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Login and Registration Form</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
  <div class="login-form">
    <h2>Login</h2>
    <form>
      <label>Username:</label>
      <input type="text" name="username" required>
      <label>Password:</label>
      <input type="password" name="password" required>
      <button type="submit">Login</button>
      <p>Don't have an account? <a href="#" id="register-link">Register here</a></p>
    </form>
  </div>

  <div class="register-form">
    <h2>Register</h2>
    <form>
      <label>Username:</label>
      <input type="text" name="username" required>
      <label>Password:</label>
      <input type="password" name="password" required>
      <label>Email:</label>
      <input type="email" name="email" required>
      <button type="submit">Register</button>
      <p>Already have an account? <a href="#" id="login-link">Login here</a></p>
    </form>
  </div>

  <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

CSS code for styling the Login and Registration Form:

.login-form,
.register-form {
  width: 300px;
  margin: 50px auto;
  padding: 20px;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-radius: 5px;
  box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ccc;
}

h2 {
  text-align: center;
}

form {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

label {
  margin-bottom: 5px;
}

input[type="text"],
input[type="password"],
input[type="email"] {
  padding: 5px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

button[type="submit"] {
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

p {
  text-align: center;
  margin-top: 10px;
}

#register-link,
#login-link {
  color: blue;
  text-decoration: underline;
  cursor: pointer;
}

JavaScript code for handling the form-switching functionality:

const loginForm = document.querySelector('.login-form');
const registerForm = document.querySelector('.register-form');
const registerLink = document.querySelector('#register-link');
const loginLink = document.querySelector('#login-link');

registerLink.addEventListener('click', () => {
  loginForm.style.display = 'none';
  registerForm.style.display = 'block';
});

loginLink.addEventListener('click', () => {
  registerForm.style.display = 'none';
  loginForm.style.display = 'block';
});

3. Enjoy your beautiful UI! You can run your code on Create a New Pen (codepen.io) and see what it looks like on the browser. You can also edit the code or the ASCII art and see how GPT-4 updates the other accordingly. For example, this is what my login form looks like:

GPT-4 can create a perfect UI from just a few lines of ASCII art. Imagine what else you can do with this powerful tool. You can create any UI you want, from simple forms to complex dashboards, without writing a single line of code. You can save time and effort and focus on your app’s logic and functionality.

I hope you enjoyed this amazing GPT-4 trick and learned something new today. If you want to try it yourself, you can use Create a New Pen (codepen.io) for free and access GPT-4 with just one click. Let me know what UI you create and share your feedback in the comments below. Happy coding! 🤯
