I can't tell the difference between Fable and GPT 5.5. I tried Fable while it was in trial $20 mode, used up my whole quota, and it was great, but as soon as I went back to GPT 5.5, everything was the same.

But what I love about Openai is that they still let you hook OTHER harnesses up to a subscription. My Pi setup has been built up for a few months now into exactly what I want and moving over to CC or even Codex is really annoying.

Caveat: I vibe code in tiny little chunks. I see what I want to do, and exactly how I want it done, then prompt that, refine, what was output, then repeat. I bet Fable is better at building a whole app from a 2-sentence prompt; but that's just not important to me at all.

Same here - gave 5.5 a web design to implement and it sucked. Gave the same to Fable and it still sucked.

did you use Claude design, their tool meant for Web design? because if not then you're the problem .

I did. It was still Claude that’s the problem

If plenty of other people are having success with the same tool, perhaps it's not the tool.

Perhaps you could explain why they are the problem.
