I used 𝚏𝚡 to build Mini, a personal web browser. Many times I need to screen share, stream, or just test something without the 'bloat' and state of my browser. So I go Mini. This was a cool test for and open models. It was the first time I... show more

The irony of fx being written in zig is not lost on me
Most entertaining outcome
the supreme logo on the homepage is wrong, placed the vercel version (black) over the white (original from their site)
I call this the Era of Personal Software (as an extension to the Era of Personal Computer)
The GOAT from @thmsbfft: I miss this browser every day.
Can we get mini somewhere? looks cool
that is some great key thonk, what type of switches?
how many tabs before mini turns back into the bloated browser it was built to escape
Oww nice i like the minimalism for screen recordings! Are you open sourcing it? 🙈
clean browser state is underrated. Screen sharing without hiding 40 tabs is a real use case 😅
I mean, isn't it just all OSS Chromium under the hood?
just curious how is fx different from pi agent?
how do you handle session state isolation on Mini? is it completely stateless on every boot, or do you persist cookies for specific test domains?
A minimal browser profile w/ zero cookie/session bleed is basically manual context isolation. CRDTs give you that by default across devices w/o spinning up throwaway state each time.
Different product, same itch behind desktop-driver: keep testing in a separate browser and profile instead of dragging your real browser state into it.
HAHAHAH the 25k to cancel 10 line is hilarious
I used mint before this looks cool
Fast and small are secondary, what advantages do we get over the popular harnesses
can you guys release an ui kit similar to shadcn but more like vercel?
The browser is the demo. fx itself is a 6.4 MB Zig CLI (Apache-2.0, Vercel Labs). Mini is just the first thing he pointed it at.
"AI Gateway requires a valid credit card on file to service requests."
I think the age old question of the best browser has been answered lol.
I feel like the "I spent $25,000USD to cancel my $10 XYZ subscription" only really applies to techy-software people. Most people just want a solution that works right away.
Have you tried surf? How is this different from that?
What model(s) did you use?
add ox alpha
personal software gets compelling when the build cost drops below the friction of managing another subscription how much of mini came from the open model versus manual cleanup
Is mini going to be open sourced 👀
vercel need to make mobile OS.
fx is fitting write in my terminal quick chat organising playing around with os(omarchy)
tauri, swift, electron? me inspiraste para hacer yo mi propio browser, y lo estoy disfrutando tanto!!!! de momento es tauri pero igual pruebo swift también y comparo mil gracias!!!
We need windows version 😢
this is the browser I need
<- just a guy being annoyed by one small thing for way too long
![Ever since I wired Claude Code to WhatsApp 3 weeks ago, I built a stupidly large infra around it. I mean, opus built it. No clue how the code even looks. The entire thing was vibe coded using my phone. I wanted to see how far I could push it without touching the computer. Everything via WhatsApp. Build what I need on the fly. So the resulting infrastructure will already be battle tested for software development. The entire thing was streamlined with nearly no manual interventions, everything was communicated via WhatsApp using a single script establishing this connection. If the script is down, I need to get home to start it again to resume the development. Claude was upgrading it, debugging it, restarting it while maintaining constant uptime so it could keep communicating with me. I stressed Claude about it, telling it that it will be “in the dark” and other words that deliberately sound scary about losing communications if the script dies. I also refused git and refused cloning the code, I wanted to see Claude adapting to work on a *LIVING* system. The way this whole thing works: Claude has its own dedicated phone number that I am paying for. A real WhatsApp account for it is installed on a real iPhone that is sitting on my desk. All is registered under my name, this is legit setup with no hacks and tricks. I’ve set up a WhatsApp “Community” and multiple different groups under it. Both me and Claude are the admins, so Claude could edit it on my behalf. Each group is a project I am working on and has its own isolated context. The Group description is a system prompt that gets auto-appended to the larger system prompt explaining this setup in general. When I send a message it’s an instant interrupt to Claude Code’s process, just like in the terminal. Voice notes are seamlessly transcribed with a local Whisper model. Images are used with multimodal reading in an isolated parallel session. Multiple groups running in parallel so I can work on all projects at the same time. No cross-talking, everything has an isolated context and history. And because it’s local on my own machine: Everything is REAL. The browser is REAL. I am connected as myself on it to all services because I actually use it in real life. Claude has unlimited internet access, just like humans who use actual browsers. It utilizes custom-made browser tools that I made to control any browser session it wants. Depending on the situation, it can either connect to my existing session or create one for its own. (You can tell it ‘look at my browser for a sec’ then talk about the current page you are on and it just works, pretty cool) My custom browser tools are not perfect (not by a long shot) but I managed to make them work well to the point they are somewhat reliable. This gives Claude full access to my real creds and all the services I actually use. I’m productive AS HELL with this. It really feels like a personal assistant. I ask it to read my emails and msgs, check x .com for news, research arxiv papers, write code, run experiments for me, investigate and reverse engineer github repos, even use my credit card and order things. [I try not to do this one a lot lol so far no disasters]. All from my phone. Super convenient. This is not a product or an open source project (maybe soon of it will make sense). This is just an ugly script I hacked the entire thing is ~600 lines. (ok maybe i did look at the code, but i swear i didn’t edit!) You can also vibe code this from scratch pretty fast and it will probably even end up better. This is just a cool thing so I’m sharing. It is a real speed booster for many things I do on daily basis, mostly boring things. Forcing my routine into some new “agent platform” just didn’t feel right for me. WhatsApp is where I already communicate and look for messages, so I decided that my agents will live there too. AGI in my pocket 24/7.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2000642897402880491/amplify_video_thumb/2000642716951064582/img/ReuTixQFFAAQc_x0.jpg)
