Cool, looks like I'll stay on Cursor. All alternatives come out buggy, they care a lot about developer experience.
BTW OpenAI should think a bit about polishing their main apps instead of trying to come out with new ones while the originals are still buggy.
Any chance you'll enable remote development on a self-hosted machine with this app?
Ie. I think the codex webapp on a self-hosted machine would be great. This is impotant when you need a beefier machine (with potentially a GPU).
Any reason to switch from vscode with codex to this app? To me it looks like this app is more for non-developers but maybe I’m missing something
Good question! VS Code is still a great place for deep, hands-on coding with the Codex IDE extension.
We built the Codex app to make it easier to run and supervise multiple agents across projects, let longer-running tasks execute in parallel, and keep a higher-level view of what’s happening. Would love to hear your feedback!
The ChatGPT app on iOS has a Codex page, though it only seems to be for the "cloud" version.
(I work on Codex) One detail you might appreciate is that we built the app with a ton of code sharing with the CLI (as core agent harness) and the VSCode extension (UI layer), so that as we improve any of those, we polish them all.
