SourceVery cool!
Suggestion: would be helpful to include examples of what's possible, or some things to try (or things that are explicitly prevented).

Good point. I’ll add this to the README. Thanks!

This is cool conceptually, but "y" do I have to login to your site if it is local and uses my Claude Code?

Cool!
Your readme mentions Modify. What’s that?
Does this use some generative UI?

Thanks! Modify is the part where you can ask your coding agent to update the app live - including UI changes.

Reminds of smalltalk.

It would be even cooler if it was made with a Lisp and took advantage of it being homoiconic.

Whoa! I did not know about smalltalk. Thanks for letting me know!
