A new feature for my blog, built using my voice

Simon Willison’s Weblog · 5 days ago · 19

A blog developer built and shipped a new Newsletters feature by using the ChatGPT desktop app’s voice conversation mode to guide code changes in a local Django environment. The work took about 1 hour total (half an hour of voice while cooking, plus half an hour of typing-based follow-up) before deploying to production. The site now has a public newsletters index and monthly/day archive display with search integration for monthly sponsors-only items, while weekly Substack items link out and tag/home pages exclude them.
