happy to share Chopstick with you. It's a Mac app that makes your notch useful, but most importantly customizable and dynamic. What makes it unique is that you can build custom widgets with your coding agent. Chopstick automatically learns from your usage and suggests new widgets with time.

Widgets are dynamic meaning they can trigger in specific situations. The obvious case is "when Spotify is playing", but you can also get more complex and say show the widget to push my changes when VS Code is open and I have changes.

TLDR: - Chopstick gives you widgets in your Mac notch - You can build your own widgets with your existing agent - Widgets are highly customizable in what they can do and what triggers them - It's a one time payment (with trial), discounted for launch

Feel free to join the discord as well for sharing widgets! https://discord.gg/kqbnvgeTQC

Let me know your feedback! - Josh

Rply is not meant to be remote control for sessions. Instead you get a control center to communicate with your remote agents, have them send you notifications, ask questions, share progress and expose full UIs for you to monitor progress.

I built it for an SEO agent I run unattended on a VM. I initially glued it together with ntfy for push notifications, an exposed site for seeing status and a cron monitored inbox for waking the agent. This worked but I kept setting it up for new projects and it became unwieldy.

Rply now is much simpler. The agent gets a cli, you get a simple container to host on the same VM or just connect to the hosted version for free. Your agent sends cli commands and sets them up to wake it when you send messages. It can send questions, files to show you it's work and ask for secrets and receive them without ever seeing them. What I also love is that it can set up apps for a channel which get their data from your VM. You can view your stats, see recent work, monitor the agents, etc.

ntfy is an amazing project and inspired this heavily. But what was missing is the back and forth communication with the agent, formatted questions, artifacts and bringing all that in one place. Rply strives to be as simple as ntfy while being built for agents.

It is still an early project but it's working well for a lot of projects already. I would love to hear your feedback, open to any critique or improvements you have!

Quickest way to get started is to send your agent the prompt on https://rply.sh

Cursors design mode solves more or less solves this for cursor, but we need something generic. Flare is an attempt of making a general solution for this problem, simply integrating into any app and giving you your changes as a ready-to-paste prompt.

There's plenty of potential for expanding this, text-editing, more css compatibility, adding new components, mcp server for directly injecting the changes and more.

Would love to hear your feedback and thoughts!
