Wow this is a good one. Keep recording and talking to Codex while the app is in background and you're using your own app!

@MaxZiebell This is on my home network, so just straight from a paired Mac

unfortunately if on the go I would need to use TestFlight (which is much slower) or maybe a staging deploy if doing a website or something

@heyyyjoo a notes app

kinda like apple notes + obsidian + cursor

@NickADobos @heyyyjoo This looks very interesting. Is it available on test flight?

@NickADobos +It’s so quick dropping screenshots in too

@NickADobos How do you deploy from your computer to your phone while on the go? Do you need to be on the same network, or is it a stationary setup with local tethering for new deployments?

@NickADobos Can we call this goblin mode? Seems fitting.

@NickADobos Are you using the app to build here, or is the app what you’re actually building?

I’m intrigued in hacky mobile setups of the future

@bikbrar Exactly. It’s all voice and screenshots

@NickADobos What are you building?

Wait. You’re using the actual codex function in the ChatGPT app, right? Not an app you made yourself? It almost sounds like you’re rambling while using your app and giving codex feedback about the with voice as you’re using it.

I didn’t know ChatGPT app held open voice dictation while using other apps. I assumed it would suck because of iOS horse shit.

@tkanthh @heyyyjoo Soon! Stay tuned.

@NickADobos I didn’t think to do this with voice mode

Idea for you. Add another feature to make the screenshot faster on iPhone.

I learned this trick at a #GAAD event. Set up the assistive touch button so that you double click it and get a screenshot.

Here's a YT video about the feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eczd9iUrlZw

I did customize double tap. This comes in SOO handy.

"my toy app ran" is light years away from "the system is correct"...you can shape look and feel with voice, but 0% chance there's any real discipline.

if this angers you, share a transcript where you ramble for 10 minutes about seams, types, state machines, migrations, tests, public APIs, lifecycle boundaries, and invariant ownership

@NickADobos Send button is the tiny IDE now. Background dictation lets the real loop happen in the app while you use it, mumble notes, and flip back for five seconds.

@Dimillian I think it’s called going Goblin Mode idk though you’d have to ask Nick

@_Sagiquarius_ Yes, using codex/chatgpt’s voice mode + using my app, while talking

Codex voice mode works in the background, so you can leave it on while changing to your app.

@NickADobos Voice is underrated for product iteration because it keeps the idea flow ahead of your inner editor. The interesting shift is that the bottleneck stops being typing speed and becomes whether your app loop is instrumented enough to keep up.
