OpenTownie

It's like Townie but built entirely as a new Val Town Project.

This is just a super basic prototype, but excited to continue prototyping townie-like features in userspace, so we can all collaborate in the open on it.

This version currently uses DeepSeek r1 which is quite smart and cheap!

Getting Started

  1. Create a Val Town API token with Val read and write permissions
  2. Paste the token into the input box and get started

Forking the Project

You'll need to get an Open Router API key. We choose Open Router so we could easily switch between all models. We soon want to make it so you can choose your model from a dropdown, but we're having trouble formatting the api calls such that they work on all providers. Maybe we need to switch to the vercel sdk
