It's kind of interesting that everyone is going for the desktop app format now. These desktop agentic coding tools are a large UX step up from the CLIs, but I still think the future is going to be remote development as the coding agents start running for hours at a time. Building a desktop app seems short-sighted as it would just lock them out of the remote option completely.

#23That looks pretty close in shape to the early Ace project Maggie Appleton demonstrated last month. Edit: This short talk – https://maggieappleton.com/zero-alignment
This app is just another "let me talk to product, copy their convo, go off and build this in isolation with an agent" which I think is directionally wrong.
The "rooms" or "streams" should be multi-player instead of product looking at it at the end saying "no, go fix that" and dev copies text from one source and pastes into another.

#27How is this different than the separate Agents app shipping with VS Code? Other than fewer features.

#29Last month I used Copilot heavily, much much more than I usually do, but did not manage to use more than 58%.
