As old a rust dev. Any interest in the client side of things? I’ve been experimenting with a few ideas in this regard. Especially, true native markdown rendering and a branching conversational data model. (This complicated the UI and required better layout handling.)

Yes — definitely interested in the client side, especially where it intersects with core system design rather than just presentation.

Both native markdown rendering and non-linear / branching conversation models are areas I’ve been thinking about as well, particularly as systems move beyond linear chat and into more exploratory or agent-driven workflows.

Would be curious to hear more about what you experimented with and what tradeoffs you ran into, especially on the data model and UI side.

Cool I sent you an email and included a screen recorded video demo of that project.

Although FYI: the UI in that demo needs some work since updating iOS but it's an interesting proof of concept that took me some time to figure out (in the future I think I'll do full page swipes of the entire downstream conversation tree and not just at the sibling level although this is less power efficient). Also that demo doesn't include my work in markdown rendering since I have yet to integrate the two. I've been working on both of those projects on and off for the past couple years plus some.
