There's a lot of negative feedback in this thread, so let me say I'm really excited to try this! I have caring responsibilities at home that means I'm constantly switching between my laptop and phone. Claude code web has been a very useful tool for this, but it's not a great bit of software. Omnara looks much more configurable and thought out. I've looked for various solutions to this problem that just work, and nothing else mentioned in this thread fits the bill. Your demo looks like it nails it - I'm excited to try!
First impressions are good! Couple of small bits of feedback:
- I only had the option to create a worktree from main. I'd like to be able to pick any starting branch. Not a big deal, I just told claude to checkout the branch I wanted as my first instruction.
- For some reason in the Android app the usual automatic capitalisation of the first letter in a sentence doesn't work. Claude probably doesn't care, but I like to type in proper sentences!
- It would be nice if the worktree names got semantic names, e.g. by running my first prompt through Haiku. Maybe that's not the order things are set up in though
What happens if you combine a full Dungeons & Dragons rules engine with an LLM to act as the dungeon master? Until the recent wave of reasoning models, the answer was mostly 'nothing coherent', but Claude 3.7 with thinking is very good at this! It will probably get rate limited with minimal traffic, but I have a demo up at https://lairsandllamas.com
I did that by building an open source VS Code extension to interact with GPT3.5/4 directly from your editor: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Biggles..... It cuts out copy/pasting between ChatGPT and your editor, or writing any boiler plate code since you can just ask it to insert the code you want, or change the code you have highlighted. You can also talk to it directly using the Whisper API!
A lot of people are commenting about how gpt4 is better than copilot, both in terms of getting it to do exactly what you want and in the quality of response. I've also found this and so I wrote a simple VS Code coding assistant that uses gpt4 and let's you be direct in asking what you want it to do: https://github.com/jpallen/biggles. Maybe it can be useful to some of you too.
It also supports voice, which is a fun way to code!

'if X is true then I expect to see evidence of X' is generally a reasonable assumption/prior. So not seeing evidence of X is evidence that X is false. It's not proof, but absence of evidence generally is evidence of absence, unless you have a specific reason to believe it's not.
The specific reason is the asymmetry in being wrong in one direction vs the other. If we thought a virus does not spread in a certain way and we are wrong, we may die. If we thought the virus does spread in a certain way and we are wrong, we may unnecessarily wear a mask.
I was part of creating the initial version of https://www.swapmyvote.uk/ that ran in the 2015 and 2017 general elections. My experience of it was that it was a slow ramp up, but the final week leading up to the general election got very exciting and busy. There's a fun kind of energy in working on something like this, where people get more and more engaged right up to voting day... and then an anti-climatic finish afterwards, when interest vanishes overnight.
I drive a van, and that absolutely has a blind spot on the far side from the driver, no matter what I do with my head. The problem is that there are no rear passenger side windows to look through, and you can't see into the blind spot through the front passenger window. A blind spot mirror helps partially, but it's disconcerting driving with a known blind spot.
