• Very cool!

    Suggestion: would be helpful to include examples of what's possible, or some things to try (or things that are explicitly prevented).

    • Good point. I’ll add this to the README. Thanks!
  • This is cool conceptually, but "y" do I have to login to your site if it is local and uses my Claude Code?
    • y uses your local Claude Code/Codex and your local files. Your chats stay local too - I never get them. Login is for account/product features like feedback, usage analytics, and updates, not for proxying your repo or chat history through us.

  • I guess this is in tune with the yc rfs - https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs#dynamic-software-interfaces - but i do have the same question for the app updates - you will break everything as soon as the update takes place - this opens up a nice rabbit hole for discussion.
  • I used to like Electron but most recently became a fan of Tauri. Electron is great from a UI perspective but seems like it tends to get bloated very quickly. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

      Yes, pick up a book on swift or MFC

  • Cool!

    Your readme mentions Modify. What’s that?

    Does this use some generative UI?

    • Thanks! Modify is the part where you can ask your coding agent to update the app live - including UI changes.
  • does the userland persist across app updates? curious what happens to my modify changes when you ship a new version of y
  • I like it. I see this concept of allowing users to modify things to cater to their preferences being the future tbh.
  • An app ui that can be modified by end users is a really cool idea. I hope to see that in more apps!
  • Reminds of smalltalk.
    • It would be even cooler if it was made with a Lisp and took advantage of it being homoiconic.
    • Whoa! I did not know about smalltalk. Thanks for letting me know!
      • smalltalk is basically the textbook ancestor of OO
    • Also, a bit like emacs.
  • Hey this is pretty cool
