I have been doing exactly this by bookmarking Codex and using 'Add to home screen'
Process (all on my phone)
* Create new repo on github
* Tell Chatgpt the project and ask for a readme and agents file
* Manual upload the files to github
* Go to Codex and tell it to review the code and carry out steps in readme
* Connect project to Vercel
* If needed, create a DB
* Ask ChatGPT for the schema and run the sql
I have done this kind of work for years and now I can create things like this on the way back from a meeting. It's broken my business model by the way.
Here is one of the apps, for mental health - pretty much all done on my phone.
Yeah, I agree. If all transactions are reported and treated like a sale.
I just have personal experience where the person offering from one side often wants to avoid the tax. In Australia we have 10% GST/VAT. Pay someone and there is 30% payrol tax (even as a sole trader). Then 12% mandatory pension contribution.
So the $5000 website/landscaping turns into 3k cash in hand.
Enticing to avoid this if you can, but I am risk adverse - clients pay me off the back of this. It balances the risk appetite of a business owner who could cut corners, with me sayng not to. If they do, at least I made the risk clear.
But your point is valid and correct. There is nothing wrong with contra deals where it's booked properly.
I am sure people avoid the tax element this way, but it's not a sustainable way to go.
Let's say I do a website for $5,000 (putting aside that this a dead industry, and my career for the past 20 years) and the landscaper comes to do the work at my house.
If he cuts a powerline, falls down a hole or chops off his hand, we have a big insurance problem. No paperwork, no contract.
I have had friends who did their side of the contra deal and never got the other part of the bargain fulfilled.
Things like 'I'll paint your house if you can help fix up this old car of mine.'
I have turned down these deals in the past. Same as someone asking me to work for free for 'exposure'.
I am not having a go at the comment above as I think the point is valid - small business doing this is fraud, big business do it and it's fine.
Just my advice to anyone thinking it might work for them. Send the invoice, do the work, get paid in money.
https://instant.page/ does this via user intent/interactions and pre-fetches the next page.
"Another option is to load the pages when the user starts pressing their mouse without preloading. This makes for zero unused requests while still improving page loads by 80 ms on average."
That's the way I would go. Fast, but not wasteful.

I did the same solution described above - Bookmarked the custom GPT, added to home screen and would run it in browser.
It seems to be working now. So I can start building out custom GPTs, share with my clients and not have a big training piece to onboard them.
