I wish they'd implement branching conversations like in ChatGPT. And convenient message editing, that doesn't paste large chunks of text as an non-editable attachment or break formatting. Seems like such a simple thing to do, relative to developing an AI, yet the minor differences in the UI/UX are what prevents me from using claude a lot more.

I'm actually working on an open source product to solve this.

For a long while I've wanted a good "pro" UI that can connect to multiple different llm APIs

Convenient editing and branching is one of the items in my roadmap already, what else do you think I could include?

The trial requires a signup with an email address. No thanks! This is one thing Microsoft got right with CoPilot. With so much competition, I wonder why everyone else makes it hard to try out something.

You made an account just to comment that? Admittedly, it's easier to make a HN account than to sign up for Claude, but still.

If anyone would like to try it for coding in VSCode, I just added it to http://double.bot on v93 (AI coding assistant). Feels quite strong so far and got a few prompts that I know failed with gpt4o. fyi for anyone testing this in their product, their docs are wrong, it's claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620, not claude-3.5-sonnet-20240620.

Before I read your comment I was looking for a solution to use Claude as co-pilot in Neovim. I've seen in Double's website FAQ that it's not supported yet. Do you have an idea if this feature is expected to land anytime soon?

Is Double hiring? I was trying to find a careers page, but didn't see anything :)

Woah, this is a marked improvement. I just threw a relative complex coding problem at it and 3.5 sonnet did a really good job across several language. I asked it to rewrite a Qt6 QSyntaxHighlighter subclass to use TreeSitter to support arbitrary languages and not only did it work (with a hardcoded language) but it even got the cxx-qt Rust bindings almost right, including the extra header. Curious to see how well it h…

A fellow Qt/QML developer here (get-plume.come). Sounds interesting, what are you building?

Good history search (including non "main" conversation branches) and convenient conversation management (bookmarking, folders, maybe something smarter) would be great.

Also, maybe some convenient way to create message templates? I don't know how I'd implement this, I just know that I often write one long prompt that I reuse multiple times, with multiple minor tweaks/edits, and it'd be amazing to have a convenient tool to manage that.

Also, good mobile/tablet support, convenient to use and without bugs (as I happen to spend most of my time writing prompts on my ipad, but that's just me).

If you already have a demo - please share a link, I'd be happy to beta test it and maybe become one of the early customers.

Anthropic is the new king. This isn't even Claude 3.5 Opus and it's already super impressive. The speed is insane. I asked it "Write an in depth tutorial on async programming in Go" and it filled out 8 sections of a tutorial with multiple examples per section before GPT4o got to the second section and GPT4o couldn't even finish the tutorial before quitting. I been a fan of Anthropic models since Claude 3. Despite the…

Anthropic is the king, but Jensen Huang is the emperor... :-)

"I wish they'd implement branching conversations like in ChatGPT"

Can you say more about this?

I Google'd and I'm not finding much. I asked ChatGPT and its response was not the assumption I held about what "branching" meant [0].
