The source is a detailed article written by Greg Twemlow, detailing his experience building a minimal, reusable text snippet application called TexoLab by leveraging artificial intelligence tools. He explains that, despite a previous inability to embrace traditional coding, he successfully created this application by focusing solely on describing the desired behaviour and functionality of the tool in plain language. The core of his collaborative process involved ChatGPT generating the complete code files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) from these descriptions, and the code editor Cursor serving as the workspace for testing and running the single-file application. Twemlow emphasises the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle, resulting in a locally-owned tool that requires no installation or login, while also advocating that this "describe, don't code" methodology makes software creation accessible to non-developers who possess strong behaviour design skills.
