I dont use the code directly actually. It is just for me to understand how the app looks like initially as a starting point. Previously I have used stitch by google, and even then, it was just to explore product design in the initial stages. Just to ground myself, and see how the product looks end to end. Also mostly I will be doing them in react, so the html code isn't very useful. I would rather share the screenshot directly rather than the html code during development.

I actually find, claude models to have superior visual reasoning, in their multi modal llms, im not talking about image generation LLMs. so I just share the picture, to let it undersand the layout and go from there, and just iterate until I like the final look of it.

Thank you for this suggestion, just downloaded my data and the sessions are in there.

So if I subscribe again? do I expect to have the previous data or it will start afresh?

I want to know if I should subscribe again to get this data or shouldn't bother.

You can talk about all these rules, but that was my data, when I was subscribed to their product, I'm not asking for access to generate more, just my past sessions.

I didn't know its expected behaviour until now. Will keep it in mind, but so far the big companies, let us browse our past chats, even after unsubscribing. Praying this will not become norm now.

I dont think github is a passive storage system anymore lol. There was an opt-out mechanism we needed to check to not use our code or something like that recently.

yes, their "contract" is insane right now, with so many edge cases. giving poor user experience. when they have so many users, these edge cases also compound. They should simplify things to to give peace to their engineers.

Have any of you tried their support bot? Its insane bleeding edge AI company gets away with such experience. The bot decides the issue is solved and closes the ticket. WTFFF.

similar to claude code, they need to revolutionise customer support. Maybe from a ticket, if the agent decides if its real bug, and legitimate, it will go on and fix it.

thanks for letting me know this exists for claude designs as well.

yeah.. anyway it will be my coding agent that will be reading these. and if needed, it can show me what they look like.

in the ideal world, I know all these things should be in place, but I was not sure, they had the bandwidth to implement all these before releasing these things into the wild. but i will use it to download my sessions.

as a dev, building the product is the fun part, implementing entitlements, payment gateway, rate limiting, usage calculation, billing, gdpr stuff, account creation, deletion, export, these are the boring parts. so I wasn't sure they would have implemented this part.

Thank you so much for your suggestion regarding UI design. As my main expertise is not this, I need some tool to depend on to ground my projects somehow. Even though stitch by google and claude design are not perfect, they give me some starting point. And then, after building the actual working project, will iterate until I like the look of it. This is how I'm using these right now. I can't even itearte on these design LLM's now, their own UX is very clunky and not very friendly, or its made more for the design folks.

But I will give GPT-Image-2 a try. Actually few months back I remember doing this UX/UI research on the chat gpt app itself, just asking it to generate what a certain app might look like and etc.

Please let me know your UI design tool. I'm want to try it out.

hi thanks for checking NIMBUS out.

i mainly wanted a single central place for giving my intent no matter what it is. this is the central ux principle I used while building NIMBUS. and also why it isnt a chrome extension or an afterthought addition to current browser forks. wanted to see what agent native ui for a browser would look like. i dont think many agent browsers are doing this right now.

i just did alpha launch, so its too early to say, how users are using it. but it is in a state where i myself can actively dog food it.

i also dont consider this browser automation at all, its just the way browsers should be. giving the user the freedom to think about the task at hand and not worry about tab switching, different implementations of different websites. and at the same time give enough visibility into what the agent is doing.

Other things in the box:

  - Ask-user tool. When the agent hits a judgment call (cost
    confirmation, ambiguous field, a captcha), it pauses and asks you
    in the chat, not in a page overlay. You answer, it resumes.
    I'm really obsessed with the ask user tool on Claude Code, 
    and obviously I implemented it here also.
  - Use oracle to plan complex tasks, take its help when stuck, and also to 
    create skills
  - Sessions. Each task is its own session with its own tab(s) and
    history. Switch between them and let the tasks run in the background.
  - Bring your own key. Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any
    OpenAI-compatible endpoint. No server of mine in the loop.
  - Skills. Teach it or let it figure out a reusable flow and save it as 
    skill to reuse it.
  - Auth handoff. When a login popup opens, the agent blocks, you
    complete the auth, the agent picks back up. I purposefully didn't automate
    things like auth/captcha, as the expectation of the current websites'
    implementations isn't automation.
  - Everything local. Traces of every run go to ~/.nimbus/traces/.
    No telemetry, YET. Nothing reaches my servers, you just contact the LLM 
    providers directly.
