It’s been nice overall, but Astra (or its harness?) isn’t particularly proactive and autonomous. You have to kick it in the butt for every step. Written it up here: https://ivan.berlin/notes/chatgpt-personal-assistant/
Looking forward to this new Duet thing!
Highly recommended if you want to challenge your view of the world.
Here’s my setup: https://mysetup.ai/u/katspaugh
Mostly vanilla Claude but inside a VM.
People should try Kinopio.
The first one scans the app and detects critical flows, happy paths, unhappy paths, invariants. Writes an invariant matrix across app domains and surfaces, and maps acceptance criteria to each.
The second actually implements the flows as e2e tests (Playwright for web, Maestro for mobile). Tests are run locally before a PR is submitted, with a video recording. The video + screenshots are posted in the PR body. A rule in CLAUDE.md says "No PR w/o visual evidence!".
CI runs the suite depending on touched code.
It's nice to lay back and watch the runner click through your app.
Round, like we’re trending towards Comic Sans but still professional.
I took a similar approach with https://runmachine.dev/ but later switched to OrbStack for iOS development.
29€ a month just to host a meetup page with RSVPs.
