Been using the preview, cut down times for our type checks 5x, without taking a dump on RAM. Now just need it to cut down my build times @nextjs 🙏

@mvanhorn It’s exactly why I’ve been trying out @herdrdev

if a toddler puts a sticker on you, that’s a sign of great respect in their culture

@maxktz @herdrdev How do you see the file tree there? Part of neovim?

@tankots @WisprFlow Can’t copy the last transcript from the floating thing at the bottom, and the latency for transcription has been bad the last couple of months

1. Hermes, too much time spent fixing oc
2. OpenAI for being more open
3. Claude code, codex on cli blows. Fix it and I’m yours @OpenAI
4. Cloud, time is too valuable to spend with ok models when there are better
5. Bootstrap - you can always raise later if you REALLY want to
6. Absolute best
7. Layoffs, there is unfortunately a whole lot more to come

@trq212 The gap between 'AI generated something useful' and 'a coworker actually opens it' is mostly a rendering problem.

@garrytan So it’s going to be more of a one time dump using nessie into gbrain? Gbrain handles ongoing ingestion from chats once hooked up through mcp + dreaming right?

Everyone keeps asking “what is your loop” but nobody’s asking “how is your loop”

@wesbos Kills me when people defend this too

@lucaronin @tolariamd Never understood what it was useful for outside of flexing it in YouTube tutorials

@boristane Once a week or so, Digital Ocean’s CLI is quite nice

@dotta Love it. Could you address knowledge sharing across the company as well? Claude plugin marketplace is a nightmare. Would love a way to share skills and MCP servers to non technical folks in the team

Hey @aarondfrancis - I want to have my scratchpad up (with my plan) on my second monitor while I continue chat on the first. Any way to do this within Solo right now? Or have a vertical splitscreen where I can have a scratchpad and chat side-by-side?

I've also been looking for some way to have claude plans show up in an easily reviewable way outside the terminal. Current workflow with Warp is to open a vert split, run a command to figure out what the path to the plan is, cmd+click that to open with the markdown renderer warp has. Though I like Solo's shortcuts, notifications more. From what it looks like scratchpads were made exactly for this?

Thanks for the free tier, I'm looking for reasons to upgrade!

For shadcn create -
1. The locks are really buggy. I click one, it activates another. Overlap with other elements. Get reset if I switch the base style (nova, etc)
2. I was trying to setup a theme for an existing bootstrapped chrome extension. There’s no option to add to existing, like an agent prompt. Had to run the bootstrap in a temp directory and point my agent at it
3. No way to export to figma
