Show HN: Recursi – self-improving LLM-connected coding environment

A coding environment designed to be "recursively self improving".... but a whole lot more. Uses web based chatbots to save tons of money while being within terms of service and still being efficient. Runs right off the web (with no signup) and saves to your browser and/or straight to disk. Open source. Lots of cool sample/template apps.

Rob Brown here, the developer of this app and ecosystem. I've poured my heart and soul into this project for over a year. I think its crazy powerful and cool and fun. I hope you'll check it out!!!! I'm here for questions.

Hey, saw your post on another thread. What makes your apps (or framework?) recursively self-improving?

I was built with itself, and is essentially optimized for apps like itself.

It started off slow and as the system got better, it sped up its own development, basically exponentially.

Sometimes it got a bit weird, where I would be improving the protocol the LLM uses to save edits, but it would assume the changes that it was actively sending were already in place.
