Description
A coding environment designed to be "recursively self improving".... but a whole lot more. Uses web based chatbots to save tons of money while being within terms of service and still being efficient. Runs right off the web (with no signup) and saves to your browser and/or straight to disk. Open source. Lots of cool sample/template apps.
