I've been actually kind-of enjoying using Jules as a way of "coding" my side project (a react native app) using my phone.
I have very limited spare time these days, but sometimes on my walk to work I can think of an idea/feature, plan out what I want it to do (and sometimes use the github app to revise the existing code), then send out a few jobs. By the time I get home in the evening I've got a few PRs to review. Most of the code is useless to me, but it usually runs, and means I can jump straight into testing out the idea before going back and writing it properly myself.
Next step is to add automatic builds to each PR, so that on the way home I can just check out the different branches on my phone instead of waiting to be home to run the ios simulator :D
This is exactly why we built superconductor.dev, which has live app preview for each agent. We support Claude Code as well as Gemini, Codex, Amp. If you want to check it out just mention HN in your signup form and I’ll prioritize you :)
I think this is almost exactly what we've built with https://superconductor.dev
- set up a project with one or more repos
- set up your environment any way you want, including using docker containers
- run any number of Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Amp, or OpenCode agents on a prompt, or "ticket" (we can add Cursor CLI also)
- each ticket implementation has a fully running "app preview", which you can use just like you use your locally running setup. your running web app is even shown in a pane right next to chat and diff
- chat with the agent inside of a ticket implementation, and when you're happy, submit to github
(agents can even take screenshots)
happy to onboard you if that sounds interesting, just ping me at sergey@superconductor.dev
