I don't think I'd be able to do this on my own. Not that I don't know Rust, but because I don't know X11 (nor macOS or Windows) well enough to even know where to begin.

I've been a Linux user for almost two decades, so I know my way around my system, but never developed X11 applications or anything, I'm mostly a web developer who jumped around various roles through the years. Spent a lot of time caring deeply about testing, infrastructure, architecture/design and communication between humans, might have given me a slight edge in programming together with agents.

Hmm, well I'm more interested in the browser part rather than the windowing part - I feel like it makes more sense that LLMs can be somewhat competent with windowing frameworks even if the prompter is not super experienced. Regardless, there's probably not a concise way to get what I'm looking for - instead, I'm looking forward to seeing your config/input! I'm super curious.
