What we like

Every chat thread can be a cloud VM with multiple repos checked out (or work locally using the CLI). Custom coding harness involves multiple adversarial models to check work as it works. Built-in authenticated preview URLs. Terminal access. Use your existing coding LLM subscription e.g. ChatGPT.

Tradeoffs

Uses tokens quite quickly. No native desktop (or mobile) apps - all PWAs.
