This was fun to do! Rex now supports Kitty graphics protocol even for remote servers, including local files (on the remote!). The way this works is we intercept the file-based Kitty instructions and rewrite them to remote clients via in-band chunking.

That's cool on its own but whats extra cool is we do it with a < 1% IO impact on everything else. This was a challenge and it required changes in libghostty too (that everyone can take advantage of). Neat stuff.

In the screenshot below, the image file is being loaded from a local file on my Mac Studio, but I'm connected from a different location via my MacBook Pro.

@pearkes @almonk You don’t have your device yet brother

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Walked into an Apple Store at 830 and walked out with a Duo in less than an hour. Now to make Rex really great on this with @almonk

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

@bhertzog @almonk Same. So I just walked in instead. You should go to a store the next few days in the morning.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

@lenjaminbeonard @almonk @superlogical On the contrary we’re hard forcing everyone to expense a Duo even if they’re not maining it. I think it’s incredibly important to nail this.

@solar_flarette Apple recording glitch. Doesn’t happen on device

The Rex iOS app testing program started today with external testers and includes dedicated iPad and Duo support. Lots of polish to go on this one, but excited to get this in the App Store soon (free).

@massimodeluisa @0xcached @expo Sorry I didn’t mean anything by it. Just that I don’t know if I should or shouldn’t cause I don’t know it. It might be great, I don’t know.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

@massimodeluisa @expo No, I don't know what that is, but we're just raw dogging xcode over here.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

@zackerydev @almonk No qualms, just know we haven't publicly documented our protocol yet and may break it.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

To explain the level of dedication we have to creating an exceptional iOS experience: @almonk made exact-size cardboard cutouts of the iPhone Duo in various shapes and carried it around London method acting how he'd use Rex to try to design the best thing we could without access to the real device.

Greatest splash screen animation of all time by the way.

@dusangran It has a fully custom Duo-specific layout, early still and lots of polish required as noted (across the board). @almonk walked around London with cardboard cutouts of the duo in various shapes trying to imagine how he'd use Rex on the go. lol.

After being on the waitlist for ~15 years, we got the call and are Lakers season ticket holders. My wife and I have been a huge Lakers fans our whole lives. Season tickets were always a dream. My wife and I felt really lucky at the opener last night. ❤️ The seats are alright. 😜

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

@sferik It was a great game!

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

@rednafi At this stage, expect limitations, but a question I've asked everyone is: if you choose not to use it yet because its not good enough,I want to know why not.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

@adilrc @johnternus I would accept a larger fee, too, as well as a higher burden of proof or tracking (e.g. that its going to a company, that it isn't resold, etc.). It sucks AS A USER that we have this chicken/egg problem. As a developer, it sucks for a lot of other reasons.

@wJ3Hs5c4hKajSnk @amybuildsAI We had 20,000+ people sign up on day one.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

We invited 5,000 more people to the Rex macOS beta today, about 7,500 so far this week. Last week we only invited ~2500 in TOTAL. We're ramping up quickly. We've now invited ~15% of our total waitlist. We also started the Linux server testing program today with 100 people.

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

@amybuildsAI Signup order, no bias.
