Remix clone Hacker News

There is fork named Anon Kode https://github.com/dnakov/anon-kode which can use more models and non-Anthropic ones. But the license is unclear for it.

It's interesting to see codex to be Apache License. Maybe somebody extends it to be usable with competing models.

If it's a fork of the proprietary code, the license is pretty clear, it's violating copyright.

Now whether or not anthropic care enough to enforce their license is separate issue, but it seems unwise to make much of an investment in it.

		They call it a "fork" but it doesn't share any code. It's from scratch afaik

In terms of terminal-based and open-source, I think aider is the most popular one.

yes! It's great! I like it!

But it has one downside: It's not so good on unknown big complex code bases where you don't know how it's structured. I wished they (or somebody else) would add an AI or an automation to add files dynamically or in a smart way when you don't know the codebase structure (with the expense of burning more tokens).

I'm thinking Codex (have not checked it yet), Claude Code, Anon Kode and all the AI editors/plugins doing a better job there (and potentially burning more tokens).

But that's the only downside I can think of about aider.

I was under the impression Aider did exactly what you're describing using it's repo map feature.

Not really, repo map only gives LLMs an overview of the codebase, but aider doesn't automatically bring files into the context - you have to explicitly add the files you wish for it to see in their entirety to the context. Claude Code/Codex and most other tools do this automatically, that's why they're much more autonomous.

Aider regularly asks me the authorization to access files that I didn't explicitly add.

		(This happens when the LLM mentions them.)

I didn't like not seeing the reasoning of the models
