I’m so happy to announce the first beta release of @JericodeApp for Windows, the first truly native Agentic Development Environment for Claude Code and Codex users who want to escape the terminal.

Also, after years of cheap sunglasses with lenses that scratched at the slightest inconvenience, bought a pair of ray-bans from Costco. I wear them pretty much daily. They’ve been around the world (Toronto, Italy, Kenya), have been dropped multiple times, and almost ten years later still have no scratches.
I used to buy those cheap sunglasses from the roadside all the time and always thought, "What's the point of buying expensive ones? I'm going to loose them anyway." Then one day, I gathered the courage and bought an expensive sunglasses. And guess what? I still have them. I've taken care of them ever since.
That's when I realized those cheap sunglasses weren't getting lost because they were cheap? They were getting lost because I didn't value them enough to care. It's hard to accept, but sometimes in someone else's story, you are that cheap pair of sunglasses.
@zacbowden I'm trying to. I can't find developer documentation anywhere on how to use "Agent workspaces".
This link explains how it would work, but gives no instructions to developers on how to use it in their apps.

That’s really cool to see in reality! I had a similar idea but only ever finished implementing a media player widget. It used an agent under the hood to find the playback controls for the page currently playing media and wired up the widget buttons to them.
I had also spiked out the capability for users to create a widget from a specified tab that would surface the data they chose from it (I.e. weather, stocks, etc.).
@James_M_South My theory is that this behavior is a result of trying to prevent prompt injection attacks. They weight the system prompt significantly so it follows it, and reduce the weight of user content.
Experiment with appending instructions it typically ignores to the system prompt.
@OsaurusAI The more I see the more I like!
Native code? ✅
Local models? ✅
Simple & Beautiful UI? ✅
Using accessibility layer for computer use? ✅
I just need to find a way to bring this to Windows…
I don’t know if I’m a common case, but I have my apps in three tiers:
1. Extremely frequently used: Pinned to taskbar, readily available with single-click
2. Occasional use: pinned to start, click+click
3. Rarely used: use Win+[app_name]
For me, the Win key is deeply engrained in muscle memory, and alt+space feels so awkward to coordinate since they are right next to each other and kind of require moving my left hand from the home row, but then need it back there immediately to begin typing.
@samdotb I recently implemented this for myself in @JericodeApp so I could close code editor windows and have them restore without worrying about losing my scratch files.
@jonathan_wilke My dislike for the terminal led me to create @JericodeApp so I could use Claude/Codex with a much better UI.
I guess that makes me un-hirable.
