Inspiration
I originally got the idea for the AI Ebook Converter from a commenter on YouTube who expressed a wish for a tool that could organize info from the Internet into ebook format for personal use. I was able to create a simple tool that can take text manually inserted or from a website URL and convert it into organized sections that can then be downloaded as Markdown, .txt or .pdf documents.
How I built it
I started with ChatGPT to set up the initial code through Bolt, then used Bolt's chat feature for the rest of the code.
Challenges I ran into
My biggest challenge was getting app to bring up the text I wanted it to copy and convert. The app is especially vulnerable to network issues.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm proud to have a working MVP version of this app!
What I learned
It's definitely helpful to have a basic knowledge of coding, which I don't have. I think my experience would have been a lot smoother. Also, it can be challenging getting different tools to play nice with each other.
What's next for AI Ebook Converter
I definitely want to tweak it some more. There are other features that Bolt suggested that I'm going to play with going forward.
