This isn't a proxy. Say you use ChatGPT to assist you while you write code... there's a lot of copy paste action in that workflow. It gets old.

promptr gets rid of the copy paste. That's a much better developer ergonomic (IMO)

Plus your tool is open source, and direct calls to the OpenAI API are a much cheaper than Copilot. If anything Copilot's looking like the redundant one here to me. Thanks for doing Promptr, it looks great I'm going to give it a shot

take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7AGkcSMiaI for a demo of what copilot is capable of, did you try copilot and copilot labs?, they have the best DX, look the interviews of nat fridman on the tool.

The code is a prompt, a foreach file execute prompt and return whatever, it can be used as a template build something useful and not redundant, but definitely not code. Don't reinvent the wheel.
