Vibecoding diary #1
I'm trying to have codex completely fix the quality of encrypted audio and video calls in Pika overnight.
We have written these 4 plans:
https://github.com/sledtools/pika/blob/master/todos/call-audio-plan.md
https://github.com/sledtools/pika/blob/master/todos/call-native-audio-plan.md
https://github.com/sledtools/pika/blob/master/todos/call-transport-plan.md
https://github.com/sledtools/pika/blob/master/todos/call-video-plan.md
I'm having an orchestrator agent launch
- 1 implementer agent that will implement each step in the plan
- 2 reviewers - codex with codex 5.3 xhigh and claude code with 4.6 xhigh - that review review each step of the plan after the implementer is done
Implementation does proceed to the next step until both reviewers sign off. When first plan is done it moves to the 2nd plan. If orchestration agent stalls a daemon process will restart it.
Failure is not an option.
Pray for me.

Not yet. I'm not sure this approach will ever be good for web. Rust in WASM is kinda weird. Probably better to just do everything in TS for web. But maybe I'm wrong. We'll certainly explore.

Let's try a stream on this next week? We'll build an app together. This is a really good fit for serious freedom tech apps. You get solid app core in Rust with good performance and security characteristics and a great library ecosystem, but still use the native UI so it truly feel like a platform native app. The project is 2.5 weeks old so lots of rough edges, but already amazing. We're building Pika with it.

2026-02-27 01:59:15 UTC

My friend just one-shotted iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, and Linux apps with Rust Multiplatform.
If you're thinking about using React Native or Flutter for a new app, please reach out. I think we've made something that's much better.
You write the core once in Rust, test it in Rust, and then write stateless rendering with native UI toolkits with reactive rendering based on Rust state. This was always the dream and now it's easy.
Will publish docs and guides in next week.

Vibecoding idea I don't have time for: Take SQLite's version control system Fossil (where all the code history and issue tracking and a bunch of other stuff live in one sqlite file) and figure out how to make it work really well with agents.
Maybe it does already - it's old and there is probably a good amount of training data on it, and I'm sure it's amazing if the SQLite guys built.
