I spent a couple of hours last night testing it out.

The login process didn't work well, but it's due to my browser having a seperate container for Github.

I asked it to add a feature using Stimulus.js to my very simple gallery page written in Rails, when you hover over an image in the gallery, it should make an icon appear, and when clicking the icon, a modal should pop-up that allows the user to do cropping.

It picked up on my database models and it produced a very good result, however, it seemed to have issues verifying its solution, it particularly seemed to struggle with "on-hover".

The solution it produced was a lot better than what claude-code produced, and I liked the interface.

I also ended up hitting the limits on the Anthropic API, and it wasn't obvious to me what I should do in that case, but that's likely not the fault of Tidewave, and the Context Window Usage having a maximum of 200.0k also seemed very high, but that probably contributed to me hitting a limit.

Thank you `kawsper` for the feedback!

We are going to introduce more visibility into the context limit and make it easier to summarize.

Regarding the on-hover, do you still have the snippets around that it tried? We instruct the model to dispatch events using the proper browser APIs and I wonder what it tried to do. I would love to hear more! You can ping me on Tidewave's Discord (https://discord.gg/5GhK7E54yA) or send me an email (see github.com/josevalim).
