sweep VS blink

What's the difference with https://sweep.dev ?

- https://sweep.dev have a bot where you create a GitHub comment and it writes the PR to fix it. They have between 30% and 70% success rate. This is pretty bad but they're one of the best today

6️⃣ Sweep AI 🧹

https://github.com/sweepai/sweep arguably already does the work of an "average" programmer

The GitHub repo I researched and found was a repo that utilizes UI to create code changes based on user bug reports https://github.com/sweepai/sweep. This feature works with small errors and is aimed to eliminate developers from opening tickets that involve small bug fixes or refractors. I know that learning a new language often has many set backs and learning curves. After finding this project I believe I can learn some basics of Python while also utilizing UI.

I wanted to share how we got Sweep, an AI-powered junior developer, to use the latest pytorch documentation. We wrote a simple webcrawler using Playwright, which bypasses a lot of issues while scraping. Also, because we only need to crawl documentation, we can filter out common tags in markdown. This lets us accurately crawl and index any docs site. Try it now at https://github.com/sweepai/sweep! You can add docs by going to your sweep.yaml and adding both the keyword and the url.

We have that! You can directly append to our system prompt here to customize Sweep https://github.com/sweepai/sweep/blob/main/sweep.yaml

you can work on it

Fixes for the new OS, general improvements, and tons of thanks to all testers for their help! https://github.com/blinksh/blink/discussions/1850

You can already do that with an iPad (sans fat OS). If you're using Blink Shell (https://blink.sh) the external display is independent of what's on the iPad too, which works really neatly. This is the exact setup I used as my main dev machine in a previous role.

Would be very nice to see if this works on the new iPhones. A thin client with decent security in your pocket with keyboard/mouse/display at both home and work seems like a very approachable computing setup.

I use blink[0] with a 40% keyboard to develop linux program on a vps.

If you want to do programming without wireless interenet, another option is to connect a raspberry pi zero 2w (with usb gadget mode enabled) to the usb c port using a single usb cable. Then the rpi zero will share a ethernet network with iOS device. Then you can use blink (again) to mosh to raspberrypi.local to do the development on the pi.

The reason that I don't do it on android with termux is that there's no high quality terminal emulator like blink on android.

There's also Blink [1] which includes a local shell (limited), ssh and mosh support, and comes with a local-first, but remote-dependent, vscode implementation. Works with vscode.dev, code-server (the coder.com and microsoft version), coder.com etc. Not free but a free TestFlight versions available if you accept to be a beta tester of sorts.

I've had moderate success using it, but overall the code-server experience has been a bit lacking, in part due to languages I use, in part due to lots of software still assuming a local-first development environment (code-server/coder.com help with this by e.g. proxying http ports in your dev environment). A real IDE/code editor running on a MacBook is still way superior.

If you're okay with a subscription model for a terminal type shell, I would recommend Blink. Does everything Prompt did and more. They have a 1-week trial, and then you can subscribe for $20 a year.

I also opened https://github.com/blinksh/blink/issues/1777 so from now on everyone is able to see the commit reference that was used for the build.

I took a wild stab at finding a non-subscription iOS app that supports Ed25519-sk, but ended up just moving back to ephemeral per-device ed25519 keys instead. Both Blink.sh and Terminus purport to support -sk / HW passkeys behind subscription paywalls, but I can't verify as I don't pay for subscription model apps.

Big fan of Blink, makes it super easy to quickly ssh into a remote machine

SSH or mosh (via https://blink.sh/) back to a cloud/remote NixOS VM. The iPad is purely a self-contained interface with a local browser.
