Definitely appreciate this. I already have Typora which is commercial but fantastic product so I don't really need another viewer but others for sure will.
Glad you used Tauri to make this. I will check it out.
I don't use Claude so this doesn't affect me, but I worry it will spoil the fun for me for following reason.
They inflated how much their tools burn tokens from day one pretty much,remember all the stupid research and reports Claude always wanted to do, no matter what you asked it. Other tools are much smarter so this is not such a big deal.
More importantly, these moves tend to reverberate in the industry, so I expect others will clamp down on usage a lot and this will spoil my joy of using AI without countring every token.
Burning tokens doesn't just wastes your allotment, it also wastes your time. This gave rise to turbo offering where you get responses faster but burn 2x your tokens.
I've been using OpenCode and Codex and was just fine. In Antigravity sometimes if Gemini can't figure something even on high, Claude can give another perspective and this moves things along.
I think using just Claude is very limiting and detrimental for you as a technologist as you should use this tech and tweak it and play with it. They want to be like Apple, shut up and give us your money.
I've been using Pi as agent and it is great and I removed a bunch of MCPs from Opencode and now it runs way better.
Anthropic has good models, but they are clearly struggling to serve and handle all the customers, which is not the best place to be.
I think as a technologist, I would love a client with huge codebase. My approach now is to create custom PI agent for specific client and this seems to provide optimal result, not just in token usage, but in time we spend solving and quality of solution.
Get another engine as a backup, you will be more happy.
A developer using Claude Code found this bug. Claude is a tool. It is used by developers. It should not sign commits. Neovim never tried to sign commits with me, nor Zed.
Should not Is that your new law? The non-agentic “Neovim and Zed *never tried to sign commits [for]~~with~~ me” therefore no tool ever no matter how advanced is not allowed to sign a commit.
Did it ever occur to you that for whatever reason you just might not be cut out for the software treadmill?
Glad you used Tauri to make this. I will check it out.
