ChatGPT Sites hits Hacker News: prototype in an hour, mostly positive takes
simpsoka · x · 2026-10-03
OpenAI's ChatGPT "Sites" feature reached Hacker News (199 points, 212 comments) to a mostly positive reception. One user described using it for months as a rapid idea-to-prototype tool — a higher-dimensional maze game went from concert idea to playable in one evening. Skeptics argue website builders have existed for years and most people won't build anyway; the real opportunity may be agencies shipping sites for small businesses with customers self-hosting via their ChatGPT accounts — though it may not push agency rates down.
