Dev builds site for ZigZag embroidery software with ChatGPT sites — and it ships an MCP server for AI agents

Developer simpsoka used ChatGPT's sites feature to build a website for ZigZag, his free and open-source embroidery software written in Rust. ZigZag is a native Mac/Windows editor that plans stitches live as you draw, offers eleven stitch types, exports to PES/DST/JEF/VP3 and more, and can send designs straight to a Brother Skitch over Bluetooth.
Notably, it ships a built-in MCP server so an AI agent can draw and edit designs in the same window the user works in — a niche but concrete example of wiring traditional design software into agent workflows. He also notes ChatGPT is good at helping pick a matching custom URL.
