OC is all right -- it's my daily driver -- but it could be better. I'd like a harness to let me customize the GUI, not just add MCPs and plugins. For example, I'd like add buttons to merge a PR, and show indicators for CI. Claude Code does a lot of this out of the box. Give me UI building blocks (buttons, labels, etc.) and wire them with my own functions. Could Code Mode enable this?
The built-in browser is a most welcome feature.
PS(A): Opencode Go is a great deal and now has a $40 plan.
Look at Paseo and build your own backend and UI plugins while still using opencode.
https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo (first time I'm seeing this, reading through I'm not sure this is for me)
Scion was the tool I'd been using for this, but haven't been doing that kind of stuff for some time.

It seems to check all items on your list but of course that doesn't mean it's for you necessarily.
By the way opencode go $40 plan for 2x-3x usage vs their $10 plan is not such a good deal.

Thanks for the great recommendation. In the meantime, if anyone wants to contribute to GUI plugin support for OpenCode, here is a PR under review: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/55246
