No offense, but the sad thing is, everyone and their mother is working on this same problem. I'm also building a harness. It's feeling like, there is no moat, there is no way to get ahead, they will steal your idea one way or another, if you ever make it public.

No offense taken. I am not building it for fame or profit.

I built it because I wanted cursor on my phone because I have two small kids and don’t want to be chained to my desk. And it’s awesome. It’s a full ide with agent chat, terminal and file system running in a remote Linux container. I can review diffs, fully manage git and preview/serve apps. And no one can ever take it away from me :)

I am watching the way things are progressing with the ai api vendors and it feels really clear that depending on them will soon be dangerous. So I an furiously building as much of my own infrastructure to capture some autonomy with these capabilities

So I think everyone should build a harness.
