Looks nice.

I have a number of these pieces in a binary I drop first thing on every agent computer: https://github.com/housecat-inc/scratch

Chat to code with an inspector to point at specific DOM sections, review diffs on the box, hand off to mobile, etc.

Makes me wonder where all this will end up. Or DIY win with hyper-personalized tools? Will one vendor become the center of gravity similar to VSCode in previous generation? Will there be a cottage industry of more opinionated tools?

Why not? Both codex and Claude have remote from phone. I’m personally using cli + terminal from phone. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Tiny screen that can barely show any information and the awkward miniature keyboard that's slow to use and gives no feedback, it's a pretty awful way to do anything.

no issues here with a small iPhone and Blink. I can change the text size on the fly, and am very used to typing on the phone keyboard. Also use dictation

Because I’m not putting work in my pocket.

I wonder what JetBrains is doing. They had such a strong lead, but with the rise of AI, they seem to be heading down the same path as Stack Overflow.

Same thing. I've been using JetBrains IDEs for 25 years, and by now the keyboard shortcuts are hardwired into my fingers. They fumbled the initial rollout with the way they gate-kept the agents behind their own subscription. I used Claude through its API pricing for a while, and the UI experience with the sidebar chat was so much better than the Claude CLI. I could see the thought stream, click on artifacts, view dif…

same, but I upgraded from the in-IDE AI to claude code :)

Over 50 npm dependencies (dev and non-dev). Is this really how things are developed in 2026? After all what's happening (cyber security), is any developer out there running this kind of software just like that in their main machines without any concerns?

It is if someone forgot to prompt their harness "don't pull in unnecessary dependencies".

It's funny / ironic how the whole agentic development boom has taken off in terminal environments, but now the orchestration / IDE layer seems to be all Electron / GUI apps. Any suggestions for terminal UI versions of something like this?

It feels a bit like herdr which is like tmux meets agent management

I don't use it for work I use it for my private projects and this allows me to work on them even when I'm commuting which used ti be wasted time.
