As this post gradually sinks downwards on the HN front page, I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who've made all the lovely comments, it's great to get some feedback to show I haven't been wasting my time building this! And as I said, this whole project was 100% done by me in my spare time, with zero money behind it, and no real plan for what happens to it now! If you like it, please spread the word, as I don't h…

Just wanted to take the opportunity to say hello and thank you. I haven't really made anything in juce worth sharing, but for a couple of years I was deep in the vst swamp and tinkered a lot with juce. I learned a lot from it, got a very niche job thanks to it, and as a direct consequence have met some dear friends and made huge progress in my musical "career".

Excellent. The audio dev industry is a really nice community!

Very interesting. I tried to make a tree based agent two years ago but back then the LLM couldn’t manage to navigate the tree effectively. But today everything is different: better LLMs, and we have better understanding on how to instruct them.

I’ll try it and maybe I’ll be inspired to make my current home brewed agent more document focused again.

One drawback is much higher token usage because we get a very good saving in the cached data.

A little heads up: in your web page, the header download button force double screen with on mobile (iPhone 17 pro). No big problem but always an annoying when a page scrolls in two directions.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well, once the LLMs are better and faster at writing code than the humans, coding by hand becomes a hobby rather than a job.. I guess personally I spend just over 100/month on LLM subs

> coding by hand becomes a hobby rather than a job Yeah, I guess that will be the future. I'm not sure if its a good thing or not. I hope it will not affect my job position. Last question, which LLM provider you use and the model?

Mainly claude opus, with some fable for special occasions. And GPT5.6 is also good. But this stuff changes all the time.

Well, it's good to have the choice of whether to edit the document and break the cache, or not.

Ta for the heads-up, I'll tweak the website!

Sorry but it's not real BYOK to me as there is no UI/method provided to modify the providers, instead the app provides limited provider list and only allow custom API keys. I personally have a big list of providers under a CliProxyAPI service for easier management working with multiple coding agents and multiple serious or experimental providers, so I combine them whatever I want to have different experience, also mu…

Oh, I'm fully expecting people to ask for all kinds of weird custom providers, and they're easy to add. For launch I just focused on getting the provider API solid, and implementing the mainstream ones. Feel free to open an issue on GH if you want to request something that it doesn't do

(oh, and I should mention: The next build will have a generic openAI provider, which might actually be exactly what you need)
