This app is just an app wrapper of the BingGPT webpage #312

By looking at the source code, it is obvious that this app is just a web browser that can only access the outdated URL for BingGPT. If you want to use BingGPT, just go to the new page and press "Chat" tab.

if really you can fix it, please change const bingUrl = `https://edgeservices.bing.com/edgediscover/query?&${ to https://edgeservices.bing.com/edgesvc/chat and make all necessary changes

I also would like to contribute to this project but I can't even install appdmg that is required to build this thing on my Mac.

I tried to change the URL in the project but it is not responding to my questions. It isn't responding also if I open your URL in browser.

please follow my Posting "https://github.com/dice2o/BingGPT/issues/315" where i guide on how to edit the packaged 'app.asar' located in the 'resources' sub-folder

I appreciate that you wanted to contribute to this app, but there are a few things that I would like to remind you:

  1. Please don't assume everyone uses Windows. The method you presented to modify the packaged seems to only work in Windows. (btw I use Mac, if it was not obvious to you from what I mentioned in previous comment)

  2. This project seems to be abandoned. It may be better in this case to fork it instead of making changes to this repository. Even you have a working patch, I think the chance that the original author will merge your pull request is small

  3. I've tried the link you provided in both normal browser and in this App. It doesn't work for me. Queries are sent but bing does not respond

  4. If you really mean to contribute / encourage others to contribute to this project, requesting me to package everything and send to an email that seems to be your email sounds strange to me

Btw I have tried to just run this app without packaging it, with url replaced. The problem with this app is now more than simply changing the url. The app logged error related to captcha during login. Probably this app would need to be rewritten from scratch.

Most importantly, I am not a JS / web dev. I may be able to rewrite this app but not without hours of learning about JS, HTML and electron. I currently do not have the time to do that. Hope someone may fork this project someday.

Keeping this issue opened because the sole purpose of this issue is to tell people "don't use this app if you simply wanted to avoid downloading Edge"

Thanks for the reply, I never used Apple, like to, but in my country its way expensive ZAR R16,000 for the older model, so its cheaper going the AMD/Intel route

I agree, to master JS / web dev will be time consuming. . .

. . . send to an email that seems to be your email sounds strange to me . . .

After hearing you talking about 'its a wrapper'; using programming lingo, i thought, here is some guru who can patch it up and post some functioning version :) . . . I am busy studying and want to submit before end of Jan next year, so any quick fix will be welcomed, after Jan we can talk fixing the APP long-term. . .

So, I guess am pushed to the web 30 submissions chat for now For those like me who don't want to install Edge; for the Portable version of Edge go to "https://portableapps.com/node/61604" and scroll to the end, check the last Post of 'GiGo', follow his advice, that how to get Portable Edge
