Okay this has got very serious now, we are going on a ride with this one
last time you all called it "the most useless and amazing thing" and honestly that was the goal. but then the comments gave me actual ideas and now it does real stuff (send help and tokens)
- fixed the "you're burning tokens" thing. a bunch of you pointed out that switching models mid-chat busts the cache and re-processes the whole history. so now every model gets its own tmux tab!
- shifting doesn't swap the engine mid-drive, it just moves you to that model's car. no cache bust, and you can flick between them.
- it reads your gas. little fuel gauge shows context left in the current session, plus how much of your 5-hour usage window you've got left before you get rate-limited into the void
A bunch of accounts posted it on X with a title like "Some random guy made the most useless amazing app"
Well here is the X account url of the random guy thats me haha : https://x.com/milindlabs
