Very cool!

Suggestion: would be helpful to include examples of what's possible, or some things to try (or things that are explicitly prevented).

Cool!

Your readme mentions Modify. What’s that?

Does this use some generative UI?

This is cool conceptually, but "y" do I have to login to your site if it is local and uses my Claude Code?

I like it. I see this concept of allowing users to modify things to cater to their preferences being the future tbh.

An app ui that can be modified by end users is a really cool idea. I hope to see that in more apps!

does the userland persist across app updates? curious what happens to my modify changes when you ship a new version of y

Yes! Your modified version would stay the same, if I have an update which conflicts with your modified version you can simply select what to add to your modified version and then modify would take care of the rest.

I guess this is in tune with the yc rfs - https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs#dynamic-software-interfaces - but i do have the same question for the app updates - you will break everything as soon as the update takes place - this opens up a nice rabbit hole for discussion.

It will not break the app. If I ship an update that conflicts with your modified version, you can select from a checklist what you want to add and then modify will take care of the rest.

I used to like Electron but most recently became a fan of Tauri. Electron is great from a UI perspective but seems like it tends to get bloated very quickly. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?
