Show HN: A local-first AI agent for the desktop, no Electron, any LLM endpoint
Hey folks. Most all the apps I see for agent harnesses are typescript based, and involve either electron or some form of IPC to function as a desktop app. In the age of LLM's, I thought it would be cool to build out a prototype of what a modern desktop application would like for this, without using any web code, since I can have agents pretty aggressively work on the cross-platform compatibility on my behalf. After about a week, I ended up with a harness that feels pretty good! Feel free to try

采用记录与比较对象
来源票数: 2 votes (2026年11月15日 UTC; cumulative since publication) 可供比较的近期同类记录：“Show HN: profiler-md converts performance profiles to Markdown” (Hacker News, 2026年11月15日)；“Show HN: db-branch – database branches in seconds for AI agents and CI, via ZFS” (Hacker News, 2026年11月15日)。主题相近仅用于导航，未核验其是否属于同一需求或独立证据。
采用判断
应与它要替代的工具或人工流程比较。现有记录支持发现项目，尚不能确认可靠性、运行成本优势或商业采用。
尚未核验的门槛
尚未核验：许可证权限、硬件要求、安装步骤、维护状态，以及包含失败样例的代表性任务。
下一步试验
选择一个真实任务和现有替代方案，记录 commit、环境、输入、输出、耗时与失败行为；保留结果后再给出采用建议。
