Context is a native macOS app that was almost entirely written by AI

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-02 22:03:40

Like many image and video AI tools, which have (mostly) stopped creating people with six fingers, AI coding tools have also been making great strides. Case in point: developer Indragie Karunaratne just shipped Context, a native macOS app that was 95% built by Anthropic’s Claude Code. Anthropic has been standing out in AI-assisted development For the better part of the last year, Anthropic has pulled away from the pack when it comes to how good its Claude models are at generating code (to be fa

OneText raises $4.5M from Y Combinator, Khosla to reinvent shopping by text

techcrunch.com Tage Kene-Okafor 2026-02-03 22:27:51

The typical online checkout experience has become bloated with friction. And while more companies are building solutions around online checkout, few are rethinking it from scratch. One such company is OneText, which is building what it calls a “text-to-buy network,” that lets shoppers complete purchases via text message. The company, founded by former PayPal employees, just closed a $4.5 million seed round backed by Khosla Ventures, Coatue, Citi Ventures, Y Combinator, Good Friends (the fund cr

Almost a dozen malicious extensions with 1.7 million downloads in Google's Chrome Web Store could track users, steal browser activity, and redirect to potentially unsafe web addresses.

Building a Mac app with Claude code

I recently shipped Context, a native macOS app for debugging MCP servers. The goal was to build a useful developer tool that feels at home on the platform, powered by Apple's SwiftUI framework. I've been building software for the Mac since 2008, but this time was different: Context was almost 100% built by Claude Code1. There is still skill and iteration involved in helping Claude build software, but of the 20,000 lines of code in this project, I estimate that I wrote less than 1,000 lines by ha

Context Engineering for Agents

Lance Martin TL;DR Agents need context to perform tasks. Context engineering is the art and science of filling the context window with just the right information at each step of an agent’s trajectory. In this post, I group context engineering into a few common strategies seen across many popular agents today.

LLMs as Compilers

LLMs as compilers 7/2/2025 by Kadhir So far, I've only used LLMs as an assistant, where I'm doing something, and an LLM helps me along the way. Code autocomplete feels like a great example of how useful it can be when it gets it right. I don't doubt that over time this will improve, but I'm excited to see a more significant transition from this assistant mode to a compiler mode, at least for coding.

If you worked with the open-source operating system, you had to spend time in the terminal. Using the command line in the past was challenging because there wasn't as much help as today.
