In addition to using ChatGPT for the Wifi-heatmapper project, I have also been having fun reading Simon Willison's blog, especially his Here's how I use LLMs to help me write code post.
More on wifi-heatmapper
I posted before about the wifi-heatmapper project. I have been working on it to tune up the user interface and make its display a bit easier to understand. My PR is at: https://github.com/hnykda/wifi-heatmapper/pull/24
