I've been working on a MarkdownView library for iOS based on tree sitter: https://github.com/HumanInterfaceDesign/MarkdownView
Like the OP mentioned, it's still surprisingly difficult to build what feels like a trivial interface using SwiftUI. Once you get into rich text, selection, streaming updates, syntax highlighting, diffing, or just smooth scrolling, you very quickly end up fighting the framework instead of building the app
I wish the native iOS part was written in Swift rather than Objective-C like RN.
Does this use the the mimi codec by moshi? If so it would be straighforward to get Dia running on iOS!
Cool idea. iPhone would be great too! & Function calling tools.
Congrats on the launch!
This kinda reminds me of Expo snacks (https://snack.expo.dev/), but with a chat.
Congrats, really cool idea! You should add the demo video to your website in addition to the interactive version.
Makes sense!
Isn't there a clause in MIT that says you're required to give credit? Also, I didn't know a YC company which started it: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ollama.
Looks like a service called OpenRouter (https://openrouter.ai).
- 'openrouter:deepseek/deepseek-r1'
Deepseek blowing up like this really showed how tired everyone was with the AI founders acting like they’re saving the world.
It's pretty subtle, but hard to unsee after using it a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, so cool!
The demo was intuitive, congrats on the launch! Can I ask what you used to build the canvas UI?
What is a practical use case for this protocol?
Great demo video, will try this out!
Thanks for the suggestion! That's a good idea & something we'll think about more.
Part of me thinks it could be related to our project using CocoaPods. I've always appreciated how nicely Gradle worked to install dependencies, and the DX always lacked in Xcode. SPM works similarly, but I have yet to try it on a medium-sized codebase. So, my frustration could be related to CocoaPods.
Apart from package managers, I like the auto-import features for frameworks in Android Studio. As well as the "fix it" UX, which is similar to VSCodes. Having an integrated terminal is something Xcode still lacks, and maybe a better UX than a Plist to configure projects; I know XcodeGen/Tuist and other tools exist, but something built-in would be nice for fast project config.
I tried Zed, and it felt similar to VSCode. I know there are multiplayer features that are better than live share, but on the surface, I needed convincing to switch.
I would be more inclined to use Zed if it could displace XCode. It pains me to use it from deleting derived data or cleaning the build folder to random crashes.
Contrasting the DX to Android Studio, it's night and day. I always wanted an Android studio-like experience for iOS development.
I appreciate the feedback; I'm working on adding an about page!
We have an /updates page & blog, as well as links to GitHub. I figured finding out more about myself and my co-founder was pretty easy.
We've been deploying changes all day so could related, thanks for the report. Should work now.
We're building a GPT for managing your finances.
Our backend stack: - AWS - SST - TypeScript
Our clients:
- Next (web) - Vanilla React Native (mobile)
OpenAI's App Store announcement is what got us interested in building w/ LLMs.
Feature request for the online model.
It would be great get a sources array in the response. This would make the API stand out compared to others and allow product teams to add AI w/o being afraid of hallucinations.
What data do you have to back up that statement?
We've seen the opposite for networking related activities especially when there are 100's of requests that can happen on certain screens. We've tried using Hermes but didn't see any differences other than the app bundle increasing in size.
Have you come across any newer mobile RE resources?
Do you have a paid account & how long have you been waiting for access? I'm considering paying to see if they move me up the waitlist.
Congrats on the launch!
I really enjoyed the simple demo on the landing page. I think this has great potential to be a better alternative to Firebase/Supabase for frontend developers.
Especially if I never have to worry about what is happening under the hood or integrate a cluncky SDK into my project. I look forward to trying it out on a side project!
How did you manage to use RN?
Don't you have to create a special tarket for a keyboard extension?
What is their plan to monetize?
Isn't the the saying: "if it's free, you're the product"?
So does this ultimately allow me do this workflow?
1. Say I have a blog post 2. I run the blog post through OpenAI embeddings API 3. I save the embeddings to BasePlate w/o knowing much backend stuff 4. I query BasePlate with a user search phrase 5. Ask OpenAI to give me a coherent completion
p.s. congrats on the launch!
