Hi all! 👋 After playing a bit with Openai's GPT-3, I decided to build a side project to understand a bit more the technology. After considering a few options, I realized there weren't any great online code language converters so I decided to build my own. I think this tool could be helpful for developers migrating codebases into different languages. I know there are transpilers out there to convert from one language to another (like Typescript to Javascript), but I though having one tool that can quickly convert to any language could be helpful in many cases. Initially, my idea was to build a SAAS business model around this tool. However, I think the best model is "pay as you go" based on credits. I am still not 100% sure if this idea will generate any revenue and turn into a real business but at least it was really fun to build! Please feel free to try it out and let me know what you think, you get 2000 credits for free to play around with the tool.

Does it work only with snippets or whole websites?
Ignasi Tuduri
@anastasia_mikeyeva for now only with code snippets, converting whole websites would be a totally new game :)

This will be such a help for developers! I have seen devs spending a lot of time converting some Java code into Kotlin. This will make the entire process a breeze. I feel like the wide range of supported languages is the strongest and the most impressive part of this project. Great job! Congratulations on the launch!

@harsh_siriah1 Thanks a lot for your support Harsh!

Amazing! I will use convert JS to TS) Thanks for app

I tried converting a Wolfram Code to Python and to my surprise it did produce an output. Was not expecting it.
Ignasi Tuduri
@mainu12 That's great! Was the output correct?
mainul
@ignasi_tuduri1 yes it was. gave me much reason to be amazed.

Hey @ignasi_tuduri1 , I love the idea, but when I tested the tool by translating a Python web scraping script to Javascript, the result could not be used in the Chrome Console. Don't worry; every tool has its shortcomings on Producthunt. I see a lot of potential for your website. Instead of bridging the gap between coders, you could choose to help marketers who have a basic understanding of python code in javascript. This segment, in my opinion, will grow exponentially in the coming years, and you could be far ahead of the competition. With a few tweaks to make the website more 'accessible' to non-coders, you can put it on Appsumo and start with purposeful monetization, I can give you 30 minutes of free growth consultation when you are interested. P.S.Q. (Post Scriptum Questions) A) How did you train the model? B) Could you add a function that tells the user that the essential library doesn't exist in the other language. C) What is the accuracy of your machine learning algorithm?

Hi @jas801 A and C: I don't actually have control over the machine learning algorithm (I don't take any credit for the AI part). I am currently using openAI's model for converting the code. I've tested it with different languages and seems quite accurate most of the time. However, the output is not 100% usable, it kind of does 80% of the work then the developer has to review and import the required dependencies. B: Because I don't have control over the model I don't actually think I can do that but yes, would make a lot of sense to add it. I am not familiar with the use case you are mentioning "Marketers who have a basic understanding of python code in javascript". Could you elaborate more on that? Please feel free to send me an email at ignasi.tuduri (gmail.com) we can discuss it further. :)

@jas801 Hi Jasper, I didn't hear back from you. Are you still up for a chat?

Cool project! But it seems to hang on the website for me..
Ignasi Tuduri
@leo2022 Just checked and there was an error handling the cases when the code input was too large. I've fixed that you should now see a message when that happens.

would love the option to convert to liquid for shopify

Hi, @jodiechristineb I can look into that. I am not sure the AI model will support it though. May I ask is this something you would be willing to pay for? I am doing a bit of research about monetizing different use cases.
