- Finally:
- Transition from Spotlight-like to full-blown, windowed macOS Application
- Focus on significant better response rendering
- Fine-tuned typography over and over (“Weeks of polishing”)
- Insight: “It’s just a fleeting piece of paper. JamGPT is a scratchpad.” – Added the “Trash-Bin” Feature

### Beta – Codename “Pogo”
- Evolved to be a conversational interface
- Initially by emulating ChatGPT with “diyGPT”
- Upgraded using the inofficial ChatGPT preview API
- Upgrade to using the official ChatGPT API
- Was the biggest “Ride the Dragon” experience I’ve ever had:
- API errors and things breaking on every single level
- Actually LOADS OF FUN!
- Exploring “Pogo” as an pet-like, avatar-ish counterpart – Eventually scrapped
