Joe Dakroub. Building transclude, a simple HTML-first server-side framework where a page is an .html file and any part of it is also a URL.

Nicely done! I've always admired Swift UI's syntax and longed to have something like this in JS. This is a really nice way to make canvas programming accessible.

Look promising but one thing many of these agents don't seem to offer is a way to reduce the output of the agent. Many people are growing very tired from running multiple agents a day and taking in so much content. There are some skills and prompts people use to help reduce some of this, but Claude Code (for example) cannot customize every aspect of the output. I don't need to see Bash commands or even generated code in the terminal output all day. Just simple updates about what the agent is doing next would be fine. Customizable of course.

Really like this idea and the way you implemented it is very interesting to read about. BYOK is definitely needed as people will want to use this with their own account. Genuinely novel and nicely done. Keep it up and thank you!

I like the idea of this app and the website is well done. Subscription isn't for me, but for folks who take a lot of photos and need this sort of thing, I can see it. Free tier could offer a few more photos per month.

Went through the README and saw that you are using Express. Not sure if you've tried it but Hono (https://hono.dev) is a really terrific app server framework that is really fast and can run on every major JS environment there is. If Express is working well (and it should be, it's great) no need to change but something that may be interesting to look at.

Looking great! I love this new space of agent UI experimentation that is going on. Especially cool to see this running in the browser. Will check it out.

I believe the only real alternatives are models like GLM and Kimi, which I have read are cheaper to use and produce results on par with Claude Code from roughly 6 months ago. I've tried all of the local models that can conceivably run on a MacBook Pro with 128GB of RAM and have had poor results compared to Claude Code. I too want to use something else, ideally local. I think it is just going to take some time.

Documentation is almost more important than the project it is documenting. As a developer, it is usually the last thing I want to produce but I find that creating the documentation while I build the project to be a very useful experience. You typically catch a lot of gaps in your thinking while doing so and it forces you to slow down, ask more questions and work to fill those gaps.

Using AI to read the docs or if the project has skills, is a terrific way to get a more personalized experience from even the slimmest documentation.

I use Bionic (https://lmstudio.ai) and various local models like Qwen Coder Next to work on various tasks. Honestly, none of the models that are runnable on a typical MacBook Pro come close to the cloud-based frontier models (open or closed) but Bionic provides a nice experience and makes trying new models out trivial.

Another great resource gone. I often use tools like this for quick conversions or cleanups. Always admired sites like this and wondered how people paid for and maintained them for so long. Continues the sad trend of sites and people going offline.
