Very much feels like we're in the "Twitter client" phase of LLM IDEs...
what happend after the Twitter client phase???

Re: Claudia – Desktop companion for Claude code
#132I get that some people go that way, but to me, the fact that Claude Code is a standalone terminal app is a strength, not a weakness. I don't really want or need a GUI here. "From Terminal Chaos to Visual Clarity" doesn't resonate with me; terminals to me are simpler and more structured. At most, I've been thinking about installing one of the extensions to integrate Claude Code into (neo)vim, but even that I'm not sur…
I'm with you on desktop but I've been craving some sort of way to interact with Claude Code from my phone while I'm out and about. What I want at the core is to be able to open up access to my laptop's currently running Claude Code instance (without all these hacky backdoors that fork the chat with every message by using `--print`; I want a first class API that lets me append messages to the current chat), then I wan…
I use Termux and ssh for this. Plus Zellij/tmux. Classic stuff I used to do for regular dev back 10 years ago.
My phone also can build and run many projects on its own so I often don't even connect to the laptop.

#133Tried it out for a bit - recently upgraded to Max so was willing to try one of these run-stuff-in-parallel tools.
It wasn't great.
- Installation using the provided binaries just fails on my machine - I have Ubuntu 22.04, which apparently has too old a version of glibc. Building from sourced worked though.
- Every time I want to open a new chat, it brings me back to the project list. I don't want to click on the same project every time!
- Scrolling is awful! It's slow, and it often doesn't automatically scroll down as the chat is generated so you have to do it yourself.
- There's no title or anything across sessions. If I'm now working on multiple things at the same time, I want to know what I'm working on quickly!
- The log/text entries take up so much space. Something like this would benefit from a much more compact view - it shouldn't use my entire screen to show me 1 TODO list and 1 tool use.
- Unlike the video, the code changes are all wrapped in a "AI Summary" entry which tells me what it did in a few words, with no option (that I could find) to open the code itself. Confused, couldn't find a setting for this.
- There's multiple UI bugs, and it's sluggish overall.
I didn't use the Agents stuff, which (given the video starts with it) might be the main focus? But as it stands, for my attempt at running multiple Claude Code sessions at once, this was too buggy to really work. Someone else mentioned https://conductor.build/, which might be more what I'm looking for, but unfortunately it lacks Linux support.
I hope it gets better! I could see myself using it after a few more releases, and I'm rooting for them - just sharing my experience here for others who are considering trying it.

didn't the underlying API they built upon ramp up their pricing and effectively price them out?
like a precursor to reddit's own API pricing changes that made it hard for 3rd party clients to compete.
The saving grace with these API wrappers is that local models being a thing can still let them hedge against the underlying AI labs eating up their stack.

#135For folks interested in options for working with teams of agents like Claude Code in parallel, we're building Magnet ----- Magnet - The AI workspace for agentic coding http://www.magnet.run ------ You can think of Magnet as your workspace for collaborating with your human & AI agent team mates. We let you quickly spin up Claude Code sandboxes for every issue, and we're also thinking about how AI can be more of a thou…
Love it but I want an iOS companion app over Tailscale/LAN. Omnara without a central server.

#137Oof right on the edge of TM infringement with that name and color scheme. Actual instances of customer confusion being the litmus test.

#138Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm more optimistic. Open source and open weights will eat this whole space. Training is capital-intensive, yes, but so far it appears that there will always be some entities willing to train models and release them for free. All it takes is a slowdown at the frontier for the open models to catch up. The money is in the hardware, not the software.
I still can't figure out how to set up a completely free, completely private/no-accounts method of connecting an IDE to LM Studio. I thought it would be "Continue" extension for VS Code, but even for local LM integration it insists I sign-in to their service before continuing.
Huh? I have Continue on Codium talking to ollama, all local, and I never signed up to nuffin’

Ah bummer for the creators. This’ll almost certainly result in them having to change their name. Thing is, it’s not malicious on Anthropic’s part if they do C&D them. It’s actually a requirement if they don’t want to risk losing their own mark.
