suggestion for ui approach

[jetpax]

I've built an agent for micropython, pycoClaw, which is irrelevant here, except for the fact that in order to create a UI for an embedded system that is usually headless, I needed a clearly defined network interface , so I created a new pure binary version of webREPL using CBOR for speed and conciseness and registered it as a new WebSocket subprotocol (registry: https://www.iana.org/assignments/websocket/websocket.xhtml ).

It’s designed for high-frequency state sync for remote UI with separate virtual channels for M2M and humans

You can read the spec here: https://jetpax.github.io/webrepl/webrepl_binary_protocol_rfc.md

If you want to see it in action check out https://scriptostudio.com/app

Its internationalized and allows for system setup as well as file editing etc, using Python itself as the API sent efficiently over the WebREPL, but ofc also drives the UI

Just putting it out there in case theres any interest/ possible use for UI in your project

oh and I also created a skill hub to go with it

Also want to say great project, thanks for sharing!

Thanks @jetpax, really appreciate you sharing this, and glad you like the project!

This is very relevant to our UI direction, especially the idea of having a clearly defined network interface between the core agent runtime and the Web UI / remote clients. The WebSocket subprotocol, high-frequency state sync, virtual channels, and skill hub ideas all look interesting.

We’ll take a closer look at the spec and demo. If there are reusable pieces or design ideas that fit CheetahClaws, we’d be happy to explore them further.

Best,
