Thanks! I think hearing "the UI is clean" is exactly the reaction I've been hoping for :)

While I've put huge effort into things like its architecture and extension API, it's really trying to just build a lovely UI/UX that has been my motivation on this.

Out of curiosity, did you use JUCE to build this? Were there any interesting gotcha's you encountered along the way?

I've settled on JUCE as my cross-platform app framework (not just plugins) of choice, so it'd be interesting to hear about your experience with building this app out .. could you tell us a bit more about the architecture and any impactful decisions you made along the way with regards to tooling/integration? Is there now a juce-go-module or something like that, which you've wired up to JUCE' web view functionality?

No, this is pretty much the anti-juce!

There's no c++ in it, it's all Go/Javascript. And all the UIs are HTML. JUCE is a great choice for some things, but this wasn't one of them!

Ah, very interesting! I'm a little disappointed, but it's understandable.

Well, my first run wasn't very pretty .. installed it on a MacBook Air M5 with 16Gigs of RAM, set it up to access the local ollama instance (because I'm cheap like that), gave it a local JUCE app with a prompt to "analyze the project for issues porting from 32-bit to 64-bit" .. plugged in the laptop as it started processing, and then the system froze. I guess Juggler doesn't like display/USB enumeration events while its busy having ollama chug up all the resources .. well, that produced a system crash .. so came back, set it all back up again, and was .. after a few minutes .. told "the 'ls' tool is not available on this system" .. hmm .. I guess I might have missed a few setup steps in my rush to get it cranking on my JUCE project ..

In any case, will tinker with it some more, looks really great and a nice way to organize AI into a functional UI - especially better than some of the other things I've been using lately (hermes, mostly..) ..

Hmm, that's odd. Would like to dig into that more if you can find any more clues about what went wrong. Feel free to message me if you want to discuss it

		The 'ls' problem is me just being a dufus and not setting up ollama to have tool access .. but I can confirm that plugging/unplugging my laptop into a USB-C hub (to get another monitor and keyboard/mouse) seems to plague Juggler in such a way that the system reboots, and only while it is actively engaged in an ollama connection, answering a prompt. Maybe its a resource issue - this is not the fattest machine for the job, after all.
