Dev proposes agent-designed glance widgets to track agent progress from sidebar
blixt · x · 2026-10-23
Developer blixt shares a harness UI idea worth stealing: let the agent design a "glance" component that renders its status as a single line in a sidebar or iOS widget, so you can track progress without opening the chat. His iOS app syncs chats in realtime, with widgets showing live summaries like "29 green CI · 29 review threads clear · 36 PRs" for a repo task and "€137/mo saved · €661/mo active" for a subscriptions task. The core trick: feed structured agent output straight into customizable UI for an agent-rendered dashboard.
