I redesigned my app five times tonight and shipped one

Flash is a local coding agent. It runs on your machine, on your models, through Ollama, with a terminal UI and a web UI. Tonight I tried to make the web UI look like other apps. One at a time. Claude. Serif replies, a new greeting. Reverted. I like my font. Oh my pi. A powerline status bar, tool calls as terminal lines. Reverted. Cool, but not Flash. Qwen. A single pill for the input, a round send button, the model picker up top. Reverted. A time-of-day background. Sunrise in the morning, city lights at night. Reverted. Poolside Desktop. A floating panel, chats nested under projects. Kept. One out of five. That's the release. The conversation sits in a rounded panel, inset from the window. Chats are grouped under their projects in the sidebar, and each project folds away. The current chat has an outlined highlight that glides when you switch.

The new project form suggests folders as you

The new project form suggests folders as you type. ~/D shows Desktop, Documents, and Downloads. The message box gets a focus ring. A stray glow line in one dialog is gone. Trying a design costs a few minutes. Keeping the wrong one costs a lot more.

So try everything. Look at it for real

So try everything. Look at it for real, in both themes, on a phone. Then keep only what still feels right the next time you open the app. For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
