There's a lot of negative feedback in this thread, so let me say I'm really excited to try this! I have caring responsibilities at home that means I'm constantly switching between my laptop and phone. Claude code web has been a very useful tool for this, but it's not a great bit of software. Omnara looks much more configurable and thought out. I've looked for various solutions to this problem that just work, and nothing else mentioned in this thread fits the bill. Your demo looks like it nails it - I'm excited to try!

What happens if you combine a full Dungeons & Dragons rules engine with an LLM to act as the dungeon master? Until the recent wave of reasoning models, the answer was mostly 'nothing coherent', but Claude 3.7 with thinking is very good at this! It will probably get rate limited with minimal traffic, but I have a demo up at https://lairsandllamas.com

This is very cool! It's not as impressive, but here is a video of me writing Game of Life only by speaking out loud to VS Code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NSplhZ0DlY
I did that by building an open source VS Code extension to interact with GPT3.5/4 directly from your editor: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Biggles..... It cuts out copy/pasting between ChatGPT and your editor, or writing any boiler plate code since you can just ask it to insert the code you want, or change the code you have highlighted. You can also talk to it directly using the Whisper API!

A lot of people are commenting about how gpt4 is better than copilot, both in terms of getting it to do exactly what you want and in the quality of response. I've also found this and so I wrote a simple VS Code coding assistant that uses gpt4 and let's you be direct in asking what you want it to do: https://github.com/jpallen/biggles. Maybe it can be useful to some of you too.
It also supports voice, which is a fun way to code!

https://www.ideaflip.com - it's nice and simple compared to e.g. Miro, and nicely recreates the offline collaboration feeling of working around a whiteboard

'if X is true then I expect to see evidence of X' is generally a reasonable assumption/prior. So not seeing evidence of X is evidence that X is false. It's not proof, but absence of evidence generally is evidence of absence, unless you have a specific reason to believe it's not.
- I only had the option to create a worktree from main. I'd like to be able to pick any starting branch. Not a big deal, I just told claude to checkout the branch I wanted as my first instruction.
- For some reason in the Android app the usual automatic capitalisation of the first letter in a sentence doesn't work. Claude probably doesn't care, but I like to type in proper sentences!
- It would be nice if the worktree names got semantic names, e.g. by running my first prompt through Haiku. Maybe that's not the order things are set up in though
