1. Can you elaborate on the self healing?

2. Can you publish a tabular comparison on your README?

3. What information gets sent to your API server?

I'm struggling to see why I should use this over agent-browser; I have not yet run into the "cross origin iframes" problem. Is this more for the 'claw crowd?


1. Self healing means that it detects it needs some new helper function to complete a task. So, it adds it by itself while doing the task. 2. Will consider yes. 3. Nothing. Only if you decide to use remote browsers, we use the API Key to create one for you


Its on OR - but currently not available on their anthropic endpoint. OR if you read this, pls enable it there! I am using kimi-2.6 with Claude Code, works well, but Deepseek V4 gives an error:

`https://openrouter.ai/api/messages with model=deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro, OR returns an error because their Anthropic-compat translator doesn't cover V4 yet. The Claude CLI dutifully surfaces that error as "model...does not exist"


It's cheaper than retraining the model.

So? 4.7.1, 4.7.2, etc. makes sense for versioning system prompts.

They have to know that this could bite them and to ask the question first.

I do think having some insight into the current state of the cache and a realistic estimate for prompt token use is something we should demand.

If there was an affordance on the TUI that made this visible and encouraged users to learn more - that would go a long way.

Yes, that good old high quality code Microsoft is famous for.

There is good quality stuff at Microsoft, it's just on some of the innards.

NT Kernel, Direct3D, .NET Runtime. Also a lot of stuff that came out of Microsoft Research like Z3.

Which also happen to be the sort of projects older devs would normally be working on.


That was exactly my point. Old C++ Microsoft was good. New Electron Microsoft is shite.


You can issue installation instructions on linter failure in CI.


PDF is an ISO standard now.

Oh the sad irony!

I have to work with ISO-purchased pdf documents that are heavily DRM-controlled. I can only open them on two PCs with a plugin that only works in Acrobat reader. It is so closed and unusable.


Genuinely curious, what does that mean? Is the PDF standard now open and free, or does Adobe wield any power? Does it own trademarks (for pdf itself, not Acrobat Reader or sth like that)?

In theory, that means that anybody can create a fully compatible editor/reader, and if Adobe tries to change theirs it will be them that are incompatible.

In practice, I don't know why people are talking about PDF. In any recent time, I have only seen people using Adobe readers by accident and haven't heard about anybody using their editor for any reason. I know of some people that buy their editors, just not any that use it.


I occasionally use a few obscure Acrobat Pro features, mostly in the preflight tool with a UI that looks as though it hasn't been updated since the Clinton administration.

And I occasionally use Acrobat Distiller to convert old PostScript files to PDF, and to embed fonts into old PDF files created without embedded fonts, mostly because I already have it set up to find and embed almost every pre-OpenType outline font ever released by Adobe, Apple, or Microsoft, along with the OpenType fonts in Adobe Font Folio 11.1, and I've never gotten around to setting up all the fonts in Ghostscript.

The only Adobe product I use more than once or twice a month at this point is Photoshop, and mostly for things that almost certainly could just as easily be done in any number of other image editors at this point, or even ImageMagick. It's just that I've been using Photoshop since version 2 (not CS2 ca. 2005, Photoshop 2.0 ca. 1991), so it's comfortable.


My workplace uses it for documents that need digital signatures.

Acrobat is an awful piece of software.


It's been open and free on Adobe's website for 20+ years, aside from proprietary extensions like XFA. It's the ISO standards that until recently required payment (as that's how ISO generally works).

It has been since 2008.
