It seems wildly trivial. Chat completion loop with toolcalling over a universal chat gateway.

What's the innovation here? Local model? That was always possible. Toolcalling? Been around a couple years now...

It's like 5 minutes of vibe coding at most. There's likely 1,000s of similar projects already on GitHub

And when you can use claude-code from basically any device (termux on phone via ssh), Why even bother?

I had 3 friends ping me yesterday to tell me how this is going to eat their job....

but i don't see how this is different from claude-code + some chat interface + mcp servers

    I agree, but it also rhymes a lot with the infamous “why use Dropbox when you can just use rsync” comment. Convenience can be a game changer.

    • Not exactly. This isn't substantive work. Do we really need to find a bunch of identical projects on GitHub?

      This is the kind of project I saw at hackathons in 2023 by teams that didn't win anything

  • The whole world is about bundling (and unbundling).

    Not saying it really is useful, but there are values bundling an easier interface to CC with battery included.

    • When someone is pushing 500 commits a day, i don't think they have time to review any code, and it was likely written in full YOLO mode.

      So it's not just batteries-included, it's probably 100-vulnerabilities-included as well

    Claude-code is closed-source. That is a good enough reason to look at alternatives.
