For a decade, cross-platform frameworks offered a practical compromise. But as AI coding agents eliminate boilerplate and reduce maintenance costs, native development is poised for a major comeback.
Most agentic apps lack personality and feel robotic. Here is how I designed a playful mascot using ChatGPT, and implemented it in Flutter as a lightweight 4-frame flipbook animation.
With Codex bringing back the 5-hour limit for Plus users, here is how to run the mysterious, 1M-context 'Ox Alpha' (stealth/ox-alpha) model in Codex completely free via OpenRouter.
I tried turning my mostly web-based Flutter app into a PWA to avoid App Store friction, then ran into the practical limits around iOS installation, Firebase web setup, monetization, and browser-like UX.
Automating resume tailoring using Markdown context, Typst templates, and a persistent candidate truth repository.
Building apps takes time, and more importantly consumes the agents' context windows. A single agent handling everything from planning to designing, developing and testing is not token efficient nor does it produce optimal outputs. Hence, I began with the Office of Agents workflow: platform-agnostic, memory-persistent, and organized like a real software team.
A Raspberry Pi Pico W now controls my AC, lights, and TV through HomeKit—with a little help from OpenClaw.
Blender MCP tools are powerful for generating 3D models but can be heavy and token-expensive. Here is how I set up Build123d with Codex to build 3D models cheaper, faster, and view them directly in VS Code.
With the introduction of Agentic Hot Reload in Flutter, my AI subagents can now read the source tree, modify code, hot reload the running app, and pull live diagnostics. No more guessing UI changes!
Ever played a mobile game and wondered if you could change that 'jump' button to a 'fly' button? What if you want to bring your napkin sketch to life as a game? I built alt games portal, a simple, functional, small-sized, AI-powered game builder where all you need is your imagination to build a game.
As soon as I heard about the new Antigravity agent-first IDE, I decided to vibe code my own HomeKit compatible smart home and ambilight system using ESP32-C3.
Just introducing myself and my blog.
