Hi everyone,

Update at end of post.

I spent 4+ hours trying to build an App with ChatGPT 5 until I ran out of time with the 5 model. So it will have to wait until tomorrow to continue my quest.

It was amazing and fast.

Hundreds and hundreds of lines of code being written very fast.

I had to join other websites to be able to try to Deploy the App.

Deploy attempted. Then the error messages and we continued to try and resolve and navigate them.

Sample of the Code from the "Manage Error":

Using standard pip install.
ERROR: asyocr is not a valid editable requirement. It should either be a path to a local project or a VCS URL (beginning with bzr+http, bzr+https, bzr+ssh, bzr+sftp, bzr+ftp, bzr+lp, bzr+file, git+http, git+https, git+ssh, git+git, git+file, hg+file, hg+http, hg+https, hg+ssh, hg+static-http, svn+ssh, svn+http, svn+https, svn+svn, svn+file).
[notice] A new release of pip is available: 24.0 -> 25.2
[notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip
Checking if Streamlit is installed
Installing rich for an improved exception logging
Using standard pip install.

At first, I was just telling ChatGPT 5: Error installing requirements.

But it appreciated getting all the code for the error to better understand the problem.

It would eventually resolve the problem only to find out there was a new problem.

This is very similar to the challenge I had previously with Manus, Thanus, Claude...etc when trying to create this App.

With ChatGPT 5, I have taken the Mindset that I am 3 feet from Gold. So I am not quitting and I will continue as long as possible.

And there are a number of different avenues I can go with creating this App. I believe we are on the simplest route now and we can always expand it later.

I actually used ChatGPT to initially create the Super Prompt that I wanted for creating this App. It knows its own language after all better than I do.

I hope I can report success in the coming days or weeks if need be.

With ChatGPT, I would suggest thinking BIG. Push it in order to find breakthroughs for you and your business(es).

UPDATE: ChatGPT 4o makes the touchdown! I gave 4o the error code and it solved that problem. I went to Deploy and it did not have any immediate error and was taking a long time to build when it stopped because it exceeded the free time for that site. hahaha Always something trying to stop me.

Once rested, we will go back at it again perhaps on another site that can host the App.

To Our Success!
