Since you're attacking me personally,

> Does this person have any experience building and releasing software that wasn't built and released for them by a robot?

I built https://github.com/heyputer/puter. What have you done? Because your GitHub is pretty empty: https://github.com/etchalon, and your company's website doesn't redirect to https. Doesn't inspire much confidence when you're not even doing the basic stuff right, does it?

yeah, I'm aware. working on it.

Thank you for trying them out :)

additionally, somewhere in the agent prompt i asked it to maximize app functionality without the user having to sign in. for most office/creative/engineering apps this should work very well in the long term (fingers crossed)

true. we're throwing our hat in the ring too and some people like it, some don't. regardless, more options for everybody...
Re:Everything on Monday October 26, 2026 @12:18PM (#50246365)
makes sense. some people like this project and are waiting for it to get better. it's a free market, you can use whatever you like most.
Re:Everything on Monday October 26, 2026 @12:11PM (#50246224)
it'll get better over time. Give it some time!
Re:Everything on Monday October 26, 2026 @12:09PM (#50246180)
I think eventually the smaller focused tools will win the market by a wide margin. But for now, there is huge demand for open-source and free alternatives to mega apps. Especially for the education/non-profit sector.

> shoving all of these ...

I feel like you're being snarky but, regardless, I'm curious to hear your reasoning for the first paragraph. being a monorepo helps us share code across 50 different apps without falling into a submodule/dependency hell.

can I do a PR for live collaboration? to be transparent, I'm going to use my own project puter.js for webrtc, but the project is open-source (https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter)
