An underrated use case for bb plugins: custom web & mobile apps with agents built in.
I made a @posthog plugin in @get_bb_app. It's a custom metrics dashboard integrated with an agent, using my existing agent subscriptions.

Shout out to @pwnies, just let jev pick the agent / model / project / computer for you in real time as you type your prompt.

I built an IDE that looks like handwriting and doodles on a napkin
Made with Fable 5.1 and @get_bb_app

Started writing bb's plugin API docs then realized:
1) agents are the target user for API docs now
2) humans need a drastically different docs experience if they aren't writing code
So I'm using bb to build a bb plugin that interactively shows you how to build bb plugins.

bb 0.39.0 is out.
Large threads are much faster: one CSS selector made the browser restyle the whole page on every insert, and it's gone. Typing no longer re-renders the timeline, and side chat and model pickers load faster.
Child threads can now live in a different project from their parent, bb connect allows 20 servers and machines per account, and automations back off and auto-pause instead of hot-looping on failure. Plus a long list of fixes.

I love agentic coding harnesses, but they shouldn't be primarily terminal-based. The terminal is great for quick and precise commands, but information density is extremely low and UI affordances are minimal. Maybe provision of TUIs is worthwhile for occasional use (when establishing a tunnel is too annoying, or something), but it feels very strange for this to be the default modality. It took a long time for dynamic language REPLs to break out of the terminal (Jupyter notebooks and similar); I hope we don't have to wait as long for the harnesses.

These lil hover cards I built are actually a plugin in the IDE I've been building with friends :)
Building bb + bb plugins is some of the most fun I've had building software.
Just yap at an agent and watch the IDE morph in front of your eyes.
