choclift turns an iPad into a Touch Bar for your Mac: a strip of controls and an emoji bar sitting under whatever you're working on, every screen of it drawn by hand in Figma before a line was written. Phil Traut signs off as Chocolate Executive Officer and ran the whole build under a strict no-AI policy. That's a defiant thing to lead with three weeks after an essay arguing nobody owes unedited AI output a read went to the top of Hacker News.

Agent Mode on Arena now integrates directly with GitHub, so you connect a repo in the browser, hand the agent a task, and it creates the pull request, shows you the diff, pushes the commits and merges the change without you leaving the tab. Whatever it writes runs in a disposable cloud environment rather than on your machine, and you can run several at a time. Cursor gave up on GitHub for exactly this last week and built its own, so the two of them are now pulling in opposite directions on the same problem.

LoupeKit is basically a second opinion for whatever’s happening under the hood of a webpage. The browser extension identifies the tech stack, then grades the page across markup, CSS, runtime, copy and accessibility using 66 checks.
