Cool, looks like I'll stay on Cursor. All alternatives come out buggy, they care a lot about developer experience.
BTW OpenAI should think a bit about polishing their main apps instead of trying to come out with new ones while the originals are still buggy.
(I work on Codex) One detail you might appreciate is that we built the app with a ton of code sharing with the CLI (as core agent harness) and the VSCode extension (UI layer), so that as we improve any of those, we polish them all.
Any chance you'll enable remote development on a self-hosted machine with this app?
Ie. I think the codex webapp on a self-hosted machine would be great. This is impotant when you need a beefier machine (with potentially a GPU).
Not going to solve your exact problem but I started this project with this approach in mind

This should be table stakes by now. That's the beauty of these cli tools and how they scale so well.
What are the benefits of using the codex webapp?
Working remotely with the app would truly be great
Interested in this as well.
Any reason to switch from vscode with codex to this app? To me it looks like this app is more for non-developers but maybe I’m missing something
Good question! VS Code is still a great place for deep, hands-on coding with the Codex IDE extension.
We built the Codex app to make it easier to run and supervise multiple agents across projects, let longer-running tasks execute in parallel, and keep a higher-level view of what’s happening. Would love to hear your feedback!

Awesome. Any chance we will see a phone app?
I know coding on a phone sounds stupid, but with an agent it’s mostly approvals and small comments.
The ChatGPT app on iOS has a Codex page, though it only seems to be for the "cloud" version.
