@harblinger@wizard.casa speaking of it being webdev, any plans to write a native client with chan-fe's functionality? or even just a tiny subset of it? i'm inclined to think it's less work, and less wasted tokens for you. though, you're the guy who's actually done stuff with ai, so you'd know better than me.

@vkd@wizard.casa not really I thought having a huge chunk of vanilla js would be rough on token cost, but rg, sed, etc.. tool calls seems to allow an agent to dial into whatever needs to be done and get it done cheap and quick. Early on I was trying to split functionality into separate files like a human, but as the project matured I realized it's just not necessary. But just double checking: when you say "native client" do you mean like a fediverse client that runs separate from a browser? Because I have thought about it for making a GUI app for https://codeberg.org/silverpill/minimitra I think that would be the most valuable use of time for a native fedi client, but I haven't thought about it too much. Maybe even look into adding fep-ae97 to https://github.com/kallisti-chat/kallisti idk
