This is going to come very handy for development of CodeBrew, my Java IDE for iPhone/iPad. It runs a full OpenJ9 JVM under the hood, and I had to do a bunch off massaging with the options to get it to run properly. I wish I had known this page sooner!

For anyone intered, here's the app:

i feel what would be missing is shareful-upvote, to let agents confirm that a solution worked, maybe even with some context. What do you think?

i wish someone could deploy this somewhere so we can try it out without having to build it first

+1 if you are vibe coding projects from scratch. if the architecture you specify doesn't make sense, the llm will start struggling, the only way out of their misery is mocking tests. the good thing is that a complete rewrite with proper architecture and lessons learned is now totally affordable.

if more apps were written in native swift we wouldn't be having any memory issues

here's an iOS shortcut that automates the process: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/81c670b532e340e38a35cc62e3e...

whatever they've been cooking at deepseek, i don't think i'm going to let their coding agent run shell stuff on my computer unless they make it free or something

agree. shallow and uninspired

For me the issue that prevented me from really using matrix is that none of the big clients support multiple servers. As a non enterprise user, this has prevented me from seriously adopting it several times.

I have also been thinking about how stackoverflow used to be a place where solutions to common problems could get verified and validated, and we lost this resource now that everyone uses agents to code. Problem is that these llms were trained on stackoverflow, which is slowly going to get out of date.

this is great! i had to tweak the config file on macos because it was using some weird interface (utun4) instead of en0. otherwise awesome tool, i am definitely going to be using this more often.

This is impressive, those are some very restrictive requirements. I wonder what we are able to run on more powerful hardware such as ESP32 or RP2040, has anyone tried this?

i use copyparty on a home server, but the ui is really a pain to use (and ugly). it should be much more straightforward to copy/move/rename/delete files.

I'm going all in on my side project CodeBrew, a Java IDE for iPad. Currently working on OpenGL support for 3d graphics, as some schools requested the feature. Also I'm finally pitting some work into aquisition, which has turned out to be much more fun than I anticipated.

Go check it out, its free to try, with a one-time purchase full version:

Stackoverflow answers kind of provided a source of truth by being confirmed / upvoted by people trying them out. We're completely abandoning this medium (on which LLMs are trained), even as technologies keep changing. Perhaps coding agents should start posting to stackoverflow too...

has anyone tried to run this on apple silicon yet?

i was wondering whether this could be hardware accelerated.

same, i would use it to build a thing that makes my phone ring at the push of a button.

I would totally watch them race each other.

I actually coded that as a macos toolbar app. If anyone's interested, I could share the code to GitHub.

Shameless plug but try my app CodeBrew, a 100% local Java IDE:

https://apps.apple.com/de/app/codebrew-ide-for-java/id647526...

I got OpenJDK 17 to compile for iOS, but I had to disable JIT compilation as iOS doesn't allow running unsigned Code. Running the JVM itself is possible as long as the binaries are signed, and located at the correct paths. The paths issue really made me jump through hoops because Apple doesn't sign binaries unless they are bundled in Frameworks at the root of the bundle. That forced me to create symlinks to replicate the directory structure expected by the JVM while satisfying Apple's stupid policy.

Of course this whole thing only occured when I tried to submit to the App Store and the whole app was finished. I wasn't going to give up at that point.

somebody tell them about antlr4
