Missed opportunity: --run-with-scissors
Fun fact: `--dangerously-skip-permissions` doesn't actually approve EVERYTHING—we still block some obvious things like `rm -rf ~`. But today's release will let you disable this if you really want, by setting a new env var `CLAUDE_CODE_EVEN_MORE_DANGEROUSLY_SKIP_PERMISSIONS=1`

🚨 Heads up: Anthropic has a metering bug where Agent SDK chat UIs burn your Claude Code 5h limit ~1.7x faster than the TUI. Orca has first-class support for both chat UI and the real TUI. right-click → move your live session into the Claude Code TUI, full context. Pretty UI when you want it. TUI when limits matter.

Can’t wait for the extension 😍
Just found out (from an insider) why Google is so behind: Politics For example, anti-gravity can't make any change on how it controls Chrome. And remember what happened to the guy who made the gSuite CLI 🔫 Meanwhile @orca_build is shipping Chrome extension support this week

Hey friends!! Are you by default running multiple AI coding agents in the same project? If not, you're missing out, and it will take you less than 10 min watching how to do so in your projects: Let me know if any questions! youtube.com/watch?v=4pf1z1ts…

Every Mac on macOS 27 now has a free LLM built into the Terminal. No account. No API key. No internet. No token bill. Setup (1 minute): 1. sudo fm license (enter your Mac password, one time) 2. fm available (checks the model is downloaded) 3. fm respond “your question” Works on any Apple Silicon Mac, M1 included. - Pipe files: cat notes.txt | fm respond -i “summarize this” - Get JSON back: build a schema with fm schema object, pass it with --schema - Local API: fm serve gives you an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on localhost - Resume chats: sessions save to ~/.fm/sessions/ The limit is 4,096 tokens per session, and your prompt, instructions, and the answer all share it. So skip code and math. Use it for summarizing, extracting, classifying, and rewriting. Free, private, offline, and already on your Mac.

I see a trend of indie hackers creating cheaper versions of popular SaaS products. But with all AI power we have, wouldn't it be better to focus on creating BETTER products instead of cheaper? Look at what frustrates you in software and maybe try to build a better version?

What a beauty!! 😍
I'm addicted to the inline design view in our Chat UI 🥹

Don't understand why all other chat ui just attach images as a separate array as opposed to making them part of the text input. It definitely hurts AI accuracy. So we make sure to not do that in Orca.
Orca’s Chat UI now preserves image positions in your message, just like terminal agents. Many of our users switch between Chat UI and terminal view all the time. We want both to perform equally well: same first-party agent harness underneath, same context going in.

Backgrounds... Of course, the obvious solution is to make a generator that picks some of your clothes and a random element, and then generates a palette based on that, which is a seed for the bg generator!

Am I inventing a meta programming/recording language interpreter, or does this exist already somewhere?

DaVinci Resolve, my new friend! I've been doing basic videos.. And for that, any popular, established tool will do the job, 100% Recording several takes, overwriting segments, voice over, video over, etc... Just take the plunge! Full editor!

I can't find a recording + editing workflow out of the box, with any software. The features are there across 3-4 softwares, but not combined in a single one. Does this mean I have to build/setup my own? I need to ship, not to build this thing!
