@TomZarebczan @NickADobos But amazing workflow concept even if you have to use Wispr Flow on android.

@TomZarebczan @NickADobos Yes seems to not record while you've context switched to another app until you go back to ChatGPT again on android, but if you have something like Wispr Flow, that does seem to work

Codex on iOS pro tip:
Dictation mode stays on and continues recording if you background the codex iOS app
1. Open codex app
2. Start dictation
3. Change to my iOS app that I am working on, and play around it for 10 minutes while talking
4. Flip back to codex and send the message
My “IDE” doesn’t exist 99% of the time anymore
I just play around with my app, and talk,
codex listens in the background, i only open codex for 5 seconds to press the send button every few minutes
Then I start a new dictation and switch back to my app again
And codex makes updates and pushes new builds to my phone as I go, there’s about a 1 second gap as the app closes and reloads each time.
So the dev process is 99% me using my app, manifesting ideas, testing how they feel, and watching it change right in front of me. 1% is spent in the IDE.
I don’t look at codex, the LLm output or the code. I’m simply experiencing the app and shoving my thoughts and feelings into the machine over and over again

Current dev loop: Talk to phone -> app appears 1. Connect codex to Mac and iPhone 2. Make an iPhone app and deploy it to my phone 3. Open codex on phone, open voice mode and ramble for 10 minutes while using my app. Pro tip voice mode stays on even if the codex ios app is in the background 4. Once you are ready, end with: “make a prioritized list of updates and then do them, then rebuild to my phone” So all I do is test and ramble about what’s wrong and needs fixing. I basically just dictate for 10 mins while using my app and then spend 1 minute in codex sending stuff and reading. Then flip back and continue playing with my app Repeat —— For non-team projects I never read code anymore. Only prompts and chat are worth reading. Everything else is simply using the software, fully experiencing it and feeling it, and shaping the ideal into pixels and data. My ideas manifested in machines within seconds Lightning in a rock in your pocket. Pure magic

@robinebers Sensible: No, go to bed it's midnight in Dubai
Realistic: We know you're going to stay up all night

i want to resubscribe to claude and i hate it
new agent view. workflows. opus 4.8.
genuinely wonder how quickly i can burn through the limits
hmmmm
SHOULD I TEST IT? 🫡

@robinebers @shadcn This one's quite nice albeit built around their own components and nothing like the editing ability we sued to have: shadcnstudio.com/builder
English
@robinebers @shadcn And 30 years later it's honestly harder to design UI. Needed - a drag and drop OS Shadcn builder

@robinebers @authkit I'm just using an email/account for each domain which is a bit of a pain but workable.
English
@robinebers @authkit They told me they are working on it and is a feature request that a lot have asked for. Was super impressed with their customer support when I asked about that particularly as I am a nobody using a free account - a rare thing these days.
English
wish this wasn't true, but:
I genuinely prefer WorkOS @authkit over Clerk
it just feels simpler and less messy because there is no custom JWT template to set up, no alternative payments that surface in the UI, and zero branding without paying for it which is huge
everything literally just works and looks great
and yet, I tell my clients to use clerk because having multiple individual projects that have nothing to do with each other in AuthKit is virtually impossible
wish they'd change that
but in the meantime, I continue to recommend @clerk

remember downloading my first mp3 in the early 2000s?
my 33.6k modem took forever, and when it finally played I genuinely felt like I was living in the future
but yesterday I asked AI to build a new feature in my internal dashboard and my first thought was "why is this taking so long"
we went from "holy shit I can hear sounds from the internet" to "why can't AI ship this faster"
our sense for wonder is shrinking at the same rate technology is accelerating, at least lol 🤣
English
@robinebers Yeah - initial tests were positive but it isn't loading many threads particularly longer ones. Old archived ones reappearing for me as well. It really wouldn't have taken that much testing to have found these issues.
English
very disappointed by this codex release
it now has a mobile app, but it’s super buggy, doesn’t refresh, the UX was clearly not tested enough
please don’t turn thursday into slop releases. would rather wait a few more weeks to get this done right instead
few examples:
- projects don’t sync reliably
- app shows threads from weeks ago that codex doesn’t show and there’s no archive all button
- adding a new project requires a full path in a dialog
this ain’t it chief

You've been asking for this one... Now in preview: Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app. Start new work, review outputs, steer execution, and approve next steps, all from the ChatGPT mobile app. Codex will keep running on your laptop, Mac mini, or devbox.

Its just that your images don't match the spacings you are trying to illustrate. E.g. 4px looks the same width as 40px on the before image and on the right image the right margin is randomly labelled as both 8px and 32px. Just don't think the image explains at all what you are trying to say.
English
@TomBuildsTech fair point - that's kind of the whole brief. our users build with AI, so we show the AI output they actually ship. the 'before' is real. the fix is what we help them apply.

No idea it could speak French ... Continually finding the hidden benefits of using an AI chat in our Tech Camp course platform. Turns out a kid who struggles with English can post their questions in any language, and the AI just responds back in their language without missing a beat.

@robinebers Looks great. What was the finished product like in terms of functionality? Usable? How closely did it get to the features in those products?
English
I ran Codex for 5 days straight and here's what it built
AGI isn't that far
the prompt was something along the lines of:
- reverse engineer codex, conductor, and look at code of codex cli and t3 code
- built a tool for non-technical builders, not engineers
- make heavy use of subagents
- frequently call claude code for design help
- run full end-to-end computer-use to test features like a user would
it wasn't without hiccups, but holy shit this works
I learned A LOT from this, and personally spent less than an hour on this over the past 5 days (let that sink in)
before you ask, am never gonna release this
but it's INSANE how autonomous this fucking agent has become
my biggest takeaway was that the biggest future improvements are likely HARNESS, not AI model
this would have lead to better results, and even more autonomous work if the harness would continuously get feedback from other agents (think: code reviewers, design reviewers)
there's something here, I just can't point my finger at this yet
but it's on the horizon, I can feel it
the product person in me wants to build that type of harness
hoping someone else reads it and does it instead though 👀
