One way to think about is like Notion. Imagine if every notion page was a webapp instead of a markdown and then you had an LLM that had access to it all. So anyone who uses productivity software can potentially use it to make their very personal workspace.

If you give it an API to a local file system it can already connect. For the main file system we can explore it! Curious what your use case is.

Currently our file system is a relational db which makes it more web-native for webapps. but fully local can be doable too.

I think the main thing is UI and being on the cloud. I used to have all my todos and notes on claude code. But it's much nicer to have a UI that can directly interact with them (e.g. mark something as done or click to view more details). With CC you'd need to spin up a server and frontend and host them etc. Here we abstract those steps away without really reducing capability. You can create a frontend and it can talk to the file system or external APIs very easily.

yeah everything persists. The apps and LLM both talk to the same source of data. So you can either talk to change things or have apps do it.

Yup, basically like Claude code operating on a folder but the folder is on the cloud and it can generate interactive UIs for interacting with the folder.

If you combine an LLM that can run code, a cloud file system, and UI generation, you can create a new kind of os that evolves dynamically with the user.

Hey Hackernews,

A friend of mine and I have been thinking building a general purpose environment for GPT so it can generate code on the fly and run it. Imagine if you could have JS frontend and Pyodide-based Python backend in a notebook-like environment. You have python libraries running in the browser, react, can call any API, navigate the web, ... . And given the current code-gen quality, it works with no debugging most of the time. This way normal users can generate micro-tools for their use-cases on the fly.

We have been surprised by how generally capable it is. From making simple calculators to handling complex workflows like doing OCR on data and syncing it with firebase. It's not quite ready for a public release but we have a few videos and would love to know what you think!

Here are some examples: (note that other than passing some api keys, we have done no hardcoding what so ever, it's SO GENERAL!)

Doing OCR on business cards and creating salesforce contacts: https://youtu.be/yC3Crrav-jg

We also have a waitlist and will start onboarding people in 2 weeks. If you are interested sign up here: https://booknote.cloud

When they release an api we would charge our users and pay them

MULTI.ON is a chrome extension that automates your browsing and acts as your AI assistant.

It can help you with finding any content on the web, ordering food on doordash, shopping on amazon, post on social media like Twitter, Linkedin & Messenger, fill out any forms, give shopping opinions. Basically any task you can imagine.

You just input your goal and it controls the browser to achieve it. We didn't tune it for any specific task so your imagination is the limit of what it can do. And it generalizes to tasks much better than we expected!

It was inspired by https://github.com/nat/natbot/blob/main/natbot.py. We made it into an extension, switched to ChatGPT and improved prompting and parsing significantly.

Sign up and we will send you the extension as soon as we are done with final polishes! https://multion.ai

This is so cool!!!

Thanks! Oh where is the button hijacked?

Right now everyone runs and compiles on the same computer. Basically the browser editor connects to that computer and lets you run vscode.

Hi HN Community,

We are a group of college students passionate about making code collaboration faster.

Recently, we have been building a VS Code in the browser that can connect to any computer and lets you code together.

- It can connect to any mac / linux device (your local computer or GCP / AWS / ...) - It supports extensions on Open VSX store. - You can edit together like google docs and also jump on voice calls and share your screen. - It uses webRTC for all communications. So none of your code goes through our servers.

Let me know if you want to give it a try! Also would love to discuss more on our discord or twitter.

shameless plug: use https://tym.so for pair-programming! It's a multiplayer vscode in the browser that can connect to any computer (local/cloud).

wow why?

(shameless plug) I have been working on something that does this for free: https://tym.so . Basically, it's an in-browser vscode that can connect to any computer with a one-line install. So you can edit and run code from the browser (edit from any device run on any other device) and also has some multiplayer features when you share your url. Would you be interested in trying it?

From my understanding, since their vscode uses browser file access api with zero installation, adding terminal seems non-trivial. I have been working on something that solves that: https://tym.so (shameless plug here). I’m trying to build a vscode on the browser that can be connected to any computer with a one line install and has easy multiplayer features. Love to know what you all think about it
