Am I missing something? Nextjs static export would have solved this I feel. And hosting it on Cloudflare Pages and put the CDN in front and you're done.

Having said that, sure perhaps Astro would be lighter than Nextjs.

I had to update because the previous OpenCode 2.0.3 I had installed stopped working suddenly. I love the idea behind OpenCode but compared to managing Claude and Codex, it's such a pain and requires continuous debugging or managing.

It's super tempting to work from my phone when I'm not at my desk. But every time I do that, let's say while lounging or during a walk, I realise it takes me away from being in the moment or experience of what I'm doing.

If I'm going on a walk, I like the complete disconnect, looking at nature and the mountains and goats and sheep on the roads.

If I'm lounging, I like being at rest and not active thinking with my brain.

Even passive thinking while speaking to an AI agent in the background breaks this flow state of being at rest and relaxation.

So for the time being, at the risk of being "less productive", I am happy to let go of speaking to my agents and getting things done while I am not working.

However, I do enjoy the benefits. I'm not a luddite. If there's a critical issue and I am notified and with a fix that's awaiting my approval, I'm glad that AI and phone can enable handling that situation without me knowing about it mid-hike and unable to do anything about it. So I'll still continue experimenting with working from the phone. But consciously, I want to design the experience for handing exceptions, and not make it an extension of me being at work at my desk.

This is amazing! We are using Box (now Boat dev) and yours is the first offering that looked even more economical. Will be exploring. Cheers and all the best

I've found Vite + React SPA ( Tanstack Router/Query) with a Nodejs/Fast API to work so simply and so easy to reason about. The entire SSR and caching etc. thing adds a lot of mental overhead.

Not to mention this stack can be deployed literally anywhere with great ease.

This news made me rethink about building on Bun. It's a bit iffy now.

I switched to Claude. Opus 5.5 was causing fomo anyway. This was the trigger. I admit I have zero loyalty

Using Tailscale in exactly the same way. It has been such a blessing!

Funnily I find the OP's thoughts to very much define what a main character is.

An NPC is given a role and identify and they are bound by it forever.

The main character chooses what they want. Whatever that is. But they exercise agency and their own will to choose their reality and what they wish to do and not do. What they wish to care and not care about.

The OP is not an NPC. I believe the OP wants to live a less stressful life. The OP is pulled towards a simple life that does not involve flashy things or high status (this is my interpretation).

Which in today's status signal fueled world may feel like being an NPC. But in my opinion, it is the exact opposite.

Through OpenRouter you can get Sol for $2 input / $10 output which makes it a really attractive choice amongst frontier models.

I cancelled my Claude subscription to give Codex a proper shot for a month. 1 week in, I'm more than happy. Sol is fast and capable. Luna as subagents for execution are very cheap usage wise (and API price wise too).

I think more than anything else, I don't get a headache conversing with Sol. That alone is enough reason for me to stick to Codex.

Experimenting with adding open source models to the mix to get more execution done while using Sol as the brain.

Online chatter seems to suggest it's either a GLM-5.3 Flash or a Microsoft model. I am leaning a flash model from GLM aiming to disrupt DeepSeek v4 Flash

I think my only gripe with DeepSeek was the lack of vision capabilities. This is an awesome and much awaited update!

One of my favorite travel activities is browsing supermarkets and in awe of the interesting products on the shelves. So much fun!
