Best no-code tool for building a WordPress plugin?

Simple plugin that will have a few text inputs connect to an API then update things within WordPress. Any ideas??

    I heard ChatGPT can write WordPress plugins. Also feel free to connect if you need help with a plugin, it's been a while but I've had to make a few before.

    1. 1

      I actually had it write one for me a few days ago! Didn't deploy it or anything, but it looked legitimate to me (a very very non-expert lol).

    ChatGPT. Just ask it to create the plugin code for you ;)

    Here's one reference: https://twitter.com/johnofhousejohn/status/1599932681076473856

      Weird! I tried but chat gpt didn't like it! Wonder if the Jan 30 update stopped this feature? Here was it's response "Unfortunately, as a language model AI, I cannot provide you with a specific code for a WordPress plugin" I'll try a few different prompts tomorrow! 🤷

        Here's an example prompt to get you started. The more specific you're in the instructions, the better:

        Act as a WordPress plugin developer. Create the code structure of a plugin that:
        - have a text input
        - connects to a REST API
        - uses the response from the REST API to update some WordPress settings

        Ok for anyone else reading, seems once I asked chat gpt to try again it decided to start writing code 🤷😂
