    I find it hilarious that all the AI harnesses are Electron crap. These are such simple UIs, it seems like it would be trivial to have the AI itself write native frontends.

      You still can't beat the speed to a functional and usable product. Most users don't mind the 1G download.

      I am writing a rust native UI using GPUI but now I need a markdown viewer and editor and also want diagrams. I might end up embedding a webview (tauri style) after all.
