Show HN: Run your favorite open-source AI coding agent in the browser

4•gerardosuarez•7mo ago

Hey HN,

As a developer who's always been intimidated by the terminal, I found using terminal-based AI coding agents like Aider, Codex, or Plandex an obstacle.

To solve this, I built a browser-based UI that brings the power of these tools to a familiar web interface.

What's exactly the benefit of running on the browser? I get that accessibility to a broader audience is a benefit but from what I understand these agents run on the terminal because they have a more powerful runtime. You don't have the browser's memmory limits, you can install native tools such as curl or docker, the model runs directly on your machine, and you have more security on the CLI.

That's a great point. Newrev actually gives you the best of both worlds:

The AI agents still run terminal-based environments on a backend server (local or cloud), so they have full access to resources and native tools. The browser UI simply provides a much more intuitive, visual interface for interaction, file exploration, and live previews, making these powerful agents accessible and easy to use without deep terminal expertise.

So running this on the browser implies you need to know how to clone a git repo, run a chmod command, etc. How do you plan to productize this so that it actually gets to the hands of non technical people?

For the short term, newrev is designed for developers who want to try out these powerful AI CLI agents but prefer not to live in the terminal. This means they can start using them right away.

Our mid-term goal is to offer a fully managed cloud service, primarily still for developers. However, we're seeing more agents run highly autonomously, which means newrev could eventually empower non-developers too. Think of how many 'no-coders' are already using tools like Cursor or Winsurf for their projects today.
