[00:00] Christopher David: So we're going to build this flow of issue to pull request,

[00:03] Christopher David: which is kind of um the holy grail of agentic software development. As soon as you can reliably give an agent a GitHub issue and get a tested pull request on the end, uh you can just repeat that process. The agents can write the issues and just um this is

[00:21] Christopher David: This is the gold. This is the gold. For which other companies, like this one, Magic,

[00:27] Christopher David: we kind of trolled in our episode 124 that raised $465 million.

[00:31] Christopher David: Imagine if you could spend $100 and 10 minutes on an issue and reliably get a great pull request for an entire feature.

[00:37] Christopher David: We had two PRs solved in 12 minutes for $5.

[00:41] Christopher David: That was with our version 2 interface.

[00:48] Christopher David: Have given a lot of thought to what the appropriate interface for this should be.

[00:54] Christopher David: Some people are building IDEs, which I do not think are the right direction.

[00:58] Christopher David: You can hear my little spiel from this great interview that came out a couple days ago.

[01:03] Christopher David: Both IDEs like desktop apps starting with VS Code,

[01:07] Christopher David: adding in a bunch of complexity,

[01:08] Christopher David: that's the wrong direction.

[01:09] Christopher David: The web version of that,

[01:10] Christopher David: the Microsoft product,

[01:11] Christopher David: GitHub Copilot Workspaces is the wrong direction.

[01:14] Christopher David: And I think this should be as simple as you say a thing and it happens.

[01:18] Christopher David: with some amount of oversight to drill down and to see what's happening with whatever level of detail that you're comfortable with to steer it better. Fundamentally these interfaces should be simplifying over time. And so what is our version of this? Our version of this is a simple, glossy,

[01:33] Christopher David: voice centric mobile app,

[01:36] Christopher David: Onyx, paired with a kind of power user web dashboard where if you want it more of kind of a chat GBT plus bells and whistles interface kind of like our current.

[01:47] Christopher David: pro dashboard where there's different model selection and tools and just you know different dashboards you can kind of click around um this would be great to have but i want to be able to do this kind of stuff on the go if i can't have pull requests and agents like being running all over the place what the f what is this did

[02:11] Christopher David: you see that

[02:12] Christopher David: On the go, then we're not there yet. I want my Jarvis. I want my Tony Stark Jarvis, my little companion that I talk to.

[02:21] Christopher David: Okay, so we're building Onyx as that.

[02:24] Christopher David: We're going to be doing probably one video per these things anchoring to our mobile app.

[02:32] Christopher David: And then once that's done,

[02:33] Christopher David: we'll put out 0.2 into our open beta.

[02:36] Christopher David: We're going to be using a framework called Hyperview.

[02:39] Christopher David: which is kind of a superset on top of React Native.

[02:43] Christopher David: So our current app is React Native,

[02:44] Christopher David: so this is kind of easy to add,

[02:46] Christopher David: and I've already got a bunch of that in place now.

[02:50] Christopher David: If you look in the Onyx code base app slash Hyperview,

[02:53] Christopher David: we're starting to build that in here,

[02:55] Christopher David: and this is all components right now that are loading from our server. So I learned about Hyperview from the...

[03:05] Christopher David: Hypermedia systems book that introduces HTMX from the wonderful laser-eyed horse people.

[03:11] Christopher David: And so the first two sections are about HTMX and then the third section is about Hyperview,

[03:16] Christopher David: which is bringing that same concept to mobile.

[03:18] Christopher David: And so our open agents code base,

[03:21] Christopher David: which is written in Rust and serves HTMX to the front end, it's going to also serve,

[03:27] Christopher David: or it's currently serving,

[03:28] Christopher David: HXML Hyperview.

[03:31] Christopher David: code to the server.

[03:38] Christopher David: So I'm going to kind of tell you about this kind of stuff because I'm hoping to have other developers get familiar with the way that we're coding because we'll at some point do developer bounties and stuff for people who want to contribute to this code base using our

[03:57] Christopher David: Uh, Onyx Lightning Wallet to earn some bounties. Okay, that's good for now, and um stay tuned for the next video where we will implement this in Onyx. See ya.
