Given they have "unlimited" AI usage, do we expect the port to be complete tomorrow?

The elephant in the room is something else.

iPhones need desktop mode. Your apps, your data. USB-C screen + Bluetooth keyboard/mouse. Running like iPadOS or even macOS.

Congrats on shipping!

Been also building this slowly, mostly assisting my kids.

What they built is Apple-only, since it's a native iOS/macOS app in Swift. It's been a very interesting experience for me, as even capable frontier LLMs still can't write Apple SwiftUI/AppKit properly. They constantly get the bridges wrong, and any feature prompt puts your previous architectural efforts at risk :)

In the most possible Apple fashion, I am waiting for MacOS 27 or 28 to have this builtin.

Don't get me started on the Psion 5mx...

Still have it, last time I checked it worked well.

Still not accepting Codeberg moral stance.

Yes, gitea (and originally gogs) are released under permissive licenses, so it's legally allowed to fork them.

But forking complete working projects with years of work, rebranding with a "good guys" attitude, and progressively erasing the name/history (mentioning a gitea fork has moved down the faq now) is not fair.

Edit: even worse, the word "fork" is not in the FAQ. It is "Comparison with Gitea" now (fork is mentioned on that page).

Imagine this applied to coding.

- Do you want to add that _cool_ feature users will love?

- Yes

...

Yes

You may end up with a software art piece.

I wouldn't say it hasn't improved. Security has improved considerably, and it's one of the main reasons to use a Mac.

However, there's too many bundled apps. Just wrote about this last week: https://medium.com/@hbbio/let-me-uninstall-spotlight-1fe64a3...

Been playing with agent strategies, vibe coding this: https://github.com/hbbio/rc that uses helix by default

Using it already (the granular branch) but it's far from stabilized...

Strange that they apparently raised $169M (really?) and the website looks like this. Don't get me wrong: Plain HTML would do if "perfect", or you would expect something heavily designed. But script-kiddie vibe coded seems off.

The idea is good though and could work.
