Review opencode?

Reviewers describe opencode as a fast, simple terminal coding tool that stays out of the way while letting them swap between models, including cheaper or local options, without lock-in. Users repeatedly praise the clean TUI, responsive feel, and easy day-to-day use for coding, debugging, and iteration, though one notes JSONC configuration can be cumbersome. Makers of Edgee, Polygraph, and Replay highlight compatibility with existing developer workflows, token-context work, and support for local models and open weights.

What's great

Model-agnostic design is a strong differentiator, being able to swap between Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or local models without lock-in is genuinely useful
Native TUI feels right for a terminal tool; it respects the environment it lives in rather than fighting it
Multi-session support is a practical win for developers juggling multiple contexts
Open-source means the community can audit, extend, and self-host it

What needs improvement

The tool is still relatively new, so context window management and large codebase

navigation likely need more polish

No mention of agentic loop controls (e.g., approval modes, auto-apply guardrails) trust and safety mechanisms matter a lot for an agent that writes code
Terminal-first UX limits accessibility; there's no IDE extension path mentioned, which narrows the audience
"Model-agnostic" is only as strong as the abstraction layer, if switching models silently degrades quality (e.g., tool-use inconsistencies), users may not notice until it's a problem

used opencode to build Formalini

What's great

OpenCode is a serious alternative to Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, particularly for experienced developers who want control over their models, infrastructure and coding workflows.

Its biggest advantage is that you're not locked into one AI provider. You can use different models depending on the complexity of the task, the cost and the quality you need.

For someone building a large platform such as Formalini, that flexibility is valuable.

used opencode to build Clippo instead of Google Antigravity

Liberdade total para plugar qualquer modelo ou motor local sem ficar preso a um ecossistema fechado. É leve, direto no terminal e se adapta perfeitamente a fluxos modulares de orquestração em vez de impor um ambiente proprietário rígido.
