ICP Ninja:ICP Ninja Source code on GitHub:GitHub - AiBhrigu/LLM-Chatbot: LLM Chatbot - created on ICP Ninja Feedback: ICP Ninja is amazing! Fast canister deployment, sleek dark theme, and very intuitive. Love how quickly you can experiment. It would be great to have custom template saving and extended logs for deeper debugging.

The curated examples and integrated AI assistant make onboarding smooth and intuitive. It’s been a huge help for guidance and experimentation. It would be amazing if the AI could access our editor working directory in future updates, that would make debugging and contextual help even easier!
Feedback: I get why ICP Ninja exists and its probably not my demographic but here are some of my issues:
Iteration is very slow because builds take SO long to do, doesn’t make sense to develop on there if its so much slower than just doing it in VS Code
[Bug] Deleting a file seems to refresh the page, then create a new project with a template? have to navigate back to the one i was working on
Have a real hard time with the editor highlights, they dont seem to be right and I have many import errors, yet it build just fine
Really hard to work with things like MOPS or dfx since there is no terminal and its unclear what version dfx is. I had a few people get stuck on trying to use certain features but dfx wasn’t up to date and it gave weird error messages
Would be nice to see a little bit more in the build logs if needed
The urls are on a different gateway? I couldnt use my default ic0.app urls which broke things
I would like it if i could just open up an existing github repo, make some changes, then commit them if i were to use this
ICP ninja is amazing as it is user friedly providing examples and AI support to developers and free deployments add charm to it .I wish there was a terminal to run commands .
