Since I can't get this thing not to annotate its commits with itself as an author, I can't use it. That should be an option, not forced.

This is a great point, we're actively working on a fix.

If you’re up for giving it another shot, would love to hear other feedback on the app you have.

I'm not sure why anyone would fund "creating an agent". OpenCode is competing with Codex and Claude already. "The bullets" are not any different than other new agent projects. New agent projects pop up and die constantly and it's not from a lack of funding.

I think that if there are many players in the space, it's a problem worth working on! Like I said in the post, our main problem is speed and that's what we're trying to fix. It's been a problem, and it still is a problem. We have tried tools like OpenCode, Pi, etc. but for our speed issue, it did not fix it. If we go down dying on this boat, so be it, at least we went down dying on a problem we care about!

Meanwhile, Cerebras running Sol at 750 tokens per second, the harness "speed" becomes irrelevant compared to making better use of results from insta-Sol.

Thanks for bringing this up and trying it out! We've disabled Cmd+Option+I in the new version and also have a message during signup about sharing chats with Bullet, let us know if you run into any other issues!

OP was providing a userful tips to users, and they weren't giving you a bug report to remove it. If anything, they were suggesting you remove a login-wall.

But now that you blocked the inspector tool, you'll find it harder for users to report bugs. Unless of course those are automatically shared too? /s

Yes, we saw this and it's really exciting, can’t wait to try it in Bullet. But faster inference only speeds up generation. In our own experience, testing, building, searching, and other tool work still dominate plenty of real tasks. We’ll have to test it in practice, but it’s a great development for everyone building agents.

We're actively working on implementing a guest mode feature right now for users that don't want to make an account. For reporting bugs, we have an in-app feedback form. Bugs are not automatically shared.

harnesses are becoming the new tech stack, I created my own and will compare it to how bullet operates, I’ve also built and deployed iOS and Android apps with my tool. When you have built something with the tool, other than the tool, it’s stronger proof.
