Not a web UI, but I recently built this[0] for my Boox Note Air 5c tablet. You may find it useful (check the source code in GitHub)

It's Waveshare ESP32-C6-Touch-AMOLED-2.16 but you should get the ESP32-S3 version. It's better than the C6 (older version).

I have tons of fun building a custom OS for my little ESP32 device: https://x.com/daniel_nguyenx/status/2086311226012025006

It now has power management, a launcher, iOS-inspired Control Center, an AI voice assistant (using OpenAI Realtime API), a tamagotchi-style app and I recently built the iBeer app :D

I recently built and opensourced Inka[0], an AI journal for BOOX devices.

I continue to grow my main product BoltAI[1]

The video. He’s 6. To you it’s just ChatGPT. To him it’s “magic like the movie”.

Update: what video were you referring to? I mean the demo video he posted on Twitter.

Why so many negative comments on this? I find it cool. I showed this to my son and he absolutely loved it. The author is clearly a fan and this by no means is a production-grade product. Just someone tinkering in their free time and gave the DIY guide away for free. I just don’t understand the negativity.

This is nice. Somewhat related, I've been using this free, open-source app called BeardedSpice[0]. It solves my pet peeve of the media key doesn't always control the right app/browser tab.

> BeardedSpice is a menubar application for Mac OSX that allows you to control web based media players and some native apps with the media keys found on Mac keyboards. It is an extensible application that works with Chrome (Canary, Yandex, Chromium) and Safari, and can control any tab with an applicable media player.

Good luck. I’ve been building a native AI client[0] for the past 3 years and I didn’t catch this edge case until some of my users asked for it.

If you emulate command+V, make sure to check the keyboard layout. You may need to translate the keycode V for the current keyboard layout like DVORAK etc

Is that an iOS app? Because List on macOS still has a lot of performance issues.

This guy run a benchmark vs. AppKit and SwiftUI is still slow in macOS26

I build an AI chat app for a living (20k+ customers) and I can tell you, everyone has been asking for that.

Yep. That is what I did for my AI chat app and it’s indeed the best of both worlds.

Either you render the markdown document just once (not streaming) or your document is simple and short.

I used to use swift-markdown-ui for my app but the performance is nowhere near using a wkwebview. When streaming large documents with tricky elements like large tables, code blocks, nested quotes, you may even get beached ball. It never happened when using a wkwebview.
