Built a local OpenAI-compatible AI gateway using free providers — looking for feedback

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a small project called FreeFlow AI.

The idea came from a simple problem:
when building side projects, AI API costs can add up quickly, and you’re usually locked into a single provider.

So I built a desktop app that lets you:

connect multiple AI providers (Groq, Gemini, etc.)
automatically route between their free tiers

It also exposes a local OpenAI-compatible API, so you can use it in any project or tool (like Continue dev) without changing your code.

Been using it for my own projects and it made experimenting much easier.

It’s open source:

Would love to hear feedback or ideas on how to improve it.
