Framer Motion has recently launched CSS Studio. It's a library that runs on your browser and gives you the ability to tweak the site directly in browser which fires off instructions for your coding agent to commit to code.

I have been thinking about better and faster ways to communicate with agents for UI related changes and this is the right direction I believe.

Couldn't we get a low-res version of this info by tracking the active window using a cli tool? For linux, there are several options. Not sure about Mac.

Another approach is to run OCR on 1FPS screenshots. Everything runs locally without draining the battery like an LLM would.

I had a similar experience.

It did not change the text on a hat (ended up changing 1 of 3 words).

On one occasion it regenerated the same image again, ignoring my instructions to edit.

I get the feeling that this model is optimised for images with people in it than objects or drawings etc

This is quite similar to what I was trying to explore with [1] & [2] yesterday. Currently, the only option I found is to use localStorage and give the user the option to manually export and import.

Hyperclay has given me some ideas. What I want is something like [3] but that the user only needs to install once. One electron app that can load our mini-apps.

This is useful but not to decide whether to work on an idea or not. Most initial ideas are going to exist somewhere around the world but they may not focus on the angle that we are interested in. So, I think this is more useful as a way to understand existing approaches and see if our insights can lead to a meaningfully different solution.

I'm implementing a personal AI agent that is fully local inference with external memory that has access to my meetings, notes, Slack and Google Docs. Initially, it replaces Fireflies to capture notes from meetings and Slack.

Also, the code demos are all using GPT-5 MAX on Cursor. Most of us will not be able to use it like that all the time. They should have showed it without MAX mode as well

Those who give it a try, I would really appreciate it if you upvote or downvote your result. I'm thinking of fine-tuning a small model as the next step to improve it. Would be interesting to have a GAN-like setup (?) where the fine-tuned model suggests comics and a large model uses its world knowledge to accept or reject

I always go back to chess when I have these kinds of doubts. Deep down, we like human creativity and that's what made AlphaZero's chess entertaining for us as well as it wasn't as unnatural as traditional chess engines. But, we still enjoy playing and watching chess. Many new approaches have been discovered using powerful engines which probably would not have been tried out without them. The same thing can happen with math problems. We may have fresh takes on problems previously considered unsolvable, etc.

Day 1279 of having crazy, impractical but insanely fun ideas - If you are a small bootstrapped team, can you just buy a Mini PC for each employee, host all the OS tools and P2P sync the file systems?

I have wanted a tool like this for a while exactly for the reasons you stated! But for me, being able to see score changes (with changelog) since previous release is key. For instance, I started with VS Code + Copilot but realised Cursor is way better. Now, I'm hearing that Copilot has caught up and would like to be on top of that.

I should give time-boxing a try. My problem with 50+% focus and monotasking is that I tend to ignore everything else as much as possible when spending even 5 mins would take care of a side task. I take "All or nothing" to heart

I can see this being very useful in a lot of industries. Congrats on the launch!

How did you figure out which ones to start with? Also, have your customers raised concerns about their entire product workflows getting leaked to competitors via the agent?

Also, did you consider creating a browser extension so we can use it on sites that aren't yet your customers?
