Dev calls Opus 5.5 "superhuman" at design while building an agent timeline dashboard
RileyRalmuto · x · 2026-09-27
Developer RileyRalmuto showcased a personal timeline system where an assistant named Luca tracks your work across all agent harnesses and pushes it to a perpetual, chronological visual timeline, viewable in the Commons and in the Polyphonic macOS app as part of a larger intelligence dashboard. The ornate UI variations came from prompting Opus to make a feed top-bar "so sophisticated users will think it has no business being so sophisticated." He argues Opus 5.5 is superhuman at design/experience engineering, systems design, and creative domains broadly — "the most powerful mind in the public domain."
