@Shpigford Cool idea! I like it.

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@kevinrose @Teknium @NousResearch It’s pretty slick. Also, pretty stable/reliable. Great for painting at repo and saying, check this out, build something cool with it that does x and report back.

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@Shpigford Totally agree with direction, loved it initially for lightweight mac preview, and fast simple ui, and of course the mermaid lightbox, the complexity started getting in the way for my personal use. Do what's best for you obvi, but my personal take.

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@FredKSchott Got it working in about 10 minutes, ran into one issue with gpt 5.5 with responses calls with store: false, but once I worked around that, flue agent was chatting away on my next kanban... nicely done!

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@romainhuet @Dimillian Just improve codex awareness of built in browser and keep improving the browser.

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@Shpigford 😬

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

Yikes... damn agent orchestrators and personal agents! Looking at you @xiruxi , @aronprins , @NousResearch . Fun times 😅. Also, more and more needed these days @robinebers

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@Shpigford Yup!

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

I've had great luck with agent-browser, absolutely blew my mind the other day with confirming some app store connect stuff and updating my to-do list accordingly. Let me know what you find, I've also seen mentions of dev-browser. Playwright is a mess compared to either of these for my use cases.

@pbakaus just wanted to say, this thing on latest update with critique is killing it for ios, unexpected. Thank you, keep up the great work. Kudos for when you come up for air and see this in a week ;)

@MatthewBerman Long time daily driver until recent Tahoe update constantly hides the x icon on browser tabs 😩

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@andrewfarah Thank you… been using the excellent Obsidian web clipper, this will be nice automation to try.

@ryancarson @openclaw Thought you had switched to hermes, are you using both? What were biggest unlocks/improvements for you either way?

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

So I've used @pbakaus 's https://t.co/m2rfnEpgDZ on actual front-ends and had great success with it so far. I've also tried @pencildev and @paper through MCP, and have enjoyed both for quick prototyping, ideation, tweaking, etc. TIL, I can and should use impeccable skills at that stage in paper and/or pencil before ever getting to actual code. Nicely done all! 🔥

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@Shpigford I'll give it a try, literllay still keep Sublime open all day everyday for scratchpad purposes. I'm not a dev, but most devs I work with, use VSC as IDE and scratchpad, I've never been able to adopt that, so still use Sublime.

[Steven Matthews @sfmatthews]

@pbakaus Current version has helped me a ton. Always learning. Appreciate the i-prefix option. 🙏
