Hi HN! Sean from MindStudio here. I wanted to share something we've been working on that I think introduces some new ideas into the "AI coding agent" space. Remy is an AI agent tha…

Thanks! And yeah, I think the timing really feels right for something like this in a way that wasn't the case even a year or so ago. In addition to the published apps on the discov…

Hi everyone, co-founder/lead dev here. We've been working on Koji for the past six months or so, inspired by the idea of democratizing the creation of interactive content (apps, "m…

I really appreciate your taking a look and writing all of that up. We're only a month or so into public beta, so a lot of things (mainly on that technical documentation side that y…

This is awesome! I've been working on something similar with Koji [0], with the added twist of taking templates for full stack (web) apps and cloning remote dev environments + prod…

You can count me as another data point. I started taking coding seriously at around 11/12 years old, working on one of the big Runescape fansites, and very quickly lost interest in…

Agreed. For a less reductive perspective, I've found Emily Feng's reporting for the FT to be informative [0,1,2]. I'd be interested in other reading recommendations, if anyone has …

If you haven't, the 2008 Hugh Aplin translation is worth checking out. I found it made for a bit easier/more casual reading than the sometimes stuffy P/V, which lets the situationa…

Thanks for the heads up :) We leaned into a lot of location-based stuff in the early days (around the time of the Pokemon Go craze)--check these out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?…

I think the sentiment implicit in your question—that the initial hype wave of AR has cooled off—is valid. I believe one of the biggest reasons we’ve yet to see AR truly succeed on …

I think there is a balance to be found between "pinkifying" and "de-blueing" (to wrangle an inversion out of that word). Many of these early education coding platforms use "play" t…

Another way to frame this, which might invalidate/color some of the linked article's points, is to consider "coding literacy" within the context of how the world is moving, and how…

If you want to play with something similar, but at a different level of abstraction (software, interfacing with the Google Cloud Vision API in a way that's accessible to non-techni…

Hypercard was before my time; I heard about it recently when someone compared it to what we're building with Metaverse [0]. When you so dramatically reduce the friction required to…
