Key Info

OpenCode's team describes building their mobile iOS app through an unusual workflow where no one runs the repo locally; all communication happens via prompting in Slack and receiving screenshots/videos of the app back.

Highlights

  • Team members prompt in Slack and get pictures/videos of the app back instead of running code locally
  • Features get added, contested, and silently reverted through app usage rather than verbal discussion
  • The team says the iterative flow works well for a basic, utilitarian app following native OS conventions
  • An OpenCode mobile app supporting video playback was showcased
  • A test flight is planned for release the following day
