I forgot to fully describe the prompt since I already described it a bit on the title of the submission, which might be a problem. I hope the title of the submission itself is included alongside the prompt when giving instructions to the AI.

Lack of Tooltips: You'd think GitHub would have developers that carefully document action buttons like "Re-run all jobs". Would be great that if I hover over that button some text with hints about what it actually means appears. Am I restarting the same job? Am I spawning a new job? I don't actually know, I would have to either try it and trigger something I might not want, or google about it. Yeah uh, just use the tooltips feature.

Ask HN: How do I whitelist commands in Antigravity?

madprops — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:35:17 +0000

I use the settings gui to add commands like "grep" or "git diff" yet it just ignores them and I have to approve them everytime.

>Right click a youtube video from the results to copy the URL. I would have liked a short URL ready to share with people in chats, but no, I get: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFfLCuHSZ-U&pp=ygUNcmF0Ym95I...

>Want to share an amazon product on a chat to discuss about it. I would have liked a nice short url that I can copy, instead I get a monstrosity, it forces me to manually select only the id portion of it if I want to share it.

I'm currently optimizing my firefox tab manager (Grasshopper) to handle a user that has over 20k tabs.

Not a single line of the 66k lines were vibe coded except some specific focused fixes.

And don't tell me what to do nerd.

This is going to be an issue I see. I'm removing the Booster thing so that permission is not required at all now.

New comment by madprops in "Grasshopper: Advanced Tab Manager"

madprops — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 22:46:25 +0000

It's optional, you need to do something to enable the feature that uses it. I use it for a thing I called Booster which enables this permission so I can add some fixers for some sites like youtube, personal stuff, absolutely not required.
