ne-ne, what do you want to build: A Cloud Coding Agent So My Friend Can Go Touch Grass
ne-ne is a mobile-friendly web interface that runs a coding agent on a cloud computer, so the user's laptop can be off. It uses Backboard R-CLI with Gemma, and a test with a completely shut down MacBook confirmed the agent kept working.
- for who
- Developers who want to delegate coding tasks without keeping their laptop on.
- why now
- This Hacktoberfest submission highlights cloud coding agents as a timely build for indie hackers.
- what changes
- They can leave their laptop off and still move a software project forward from a phone.
- to do
- Describe a small app from a phone browser, let the agent work, then review and deploy the result.
key points
- Mobile-friendly web UI gives coding agent a cloud workspace, runs Backboard R-CLI with Gemma
- Test: MacBook shut down, agent kept working, phone received result via browser
- Prototype uses Docker containers, DigitalOcean Inference, limited to one worker
