There seems to be a lot of movement in this direction, how do you feel about Markdown UI?

Markdown UI and my approach share the "markdown as the medium" insight, but they're fundamentally different bets:

Markdown UI is declarative — you embed predefined widget types in markdown. The LLM picks from a catalog. It's clean and safe, but limited to what the catalog supports.

My approach is code-based — the LLM writes executable TypeScript in markdown code fences, which runs on the server and can render any React UI. It also has server-side state, so the UI can do forms, callbacks, and streaming data — not just display widgets.

I'd much prefer MDX.
