Web Photo Gallery
I've always been a bit nervous about privacy implications of hosting my personal photographs with a cloud service like Google Photos or Flickr. I wanted to be able to host my own photo gallery that would have navigation features and a "light show" style display that would include a photo caption. I looked at a few open source alternatives but they were much more complicated than I needed. But since it seemed like it was a pretty standard application I figured generative LLM would be able to produce a reasonable solution. I wrote up a spec and gave it to ChatGPT and asked it to produce a design and implementation plan. It did a good job so I had it write the code. The solution had some defects but nothing too serious. However when I wanted to modify the result ChatGPT got confused, so I gave the code to Claude.ai and it did a much better job at understanding my modification requests. A little bit of fine tuning by hand and it was good to go. Just a personal project, certainly not production quality.
