What if your IDE could build itself?I came across an interesting project called bb an open-source, agentic IDE that takes a very different approach to software customization. Instead of giving you a fixed set of features, bb lets you ask an AI coding agent to build the features you need.That means no two installations have to look alike. Some examples of what users have built directly into bb:🔹 Task and issue management systems🔹 Spatial/tiling interfaces for managing agent threads🔹 Automated GitHub code reviews and end-to-end testing🔹 Markdown/Obsidian-style editors🔹 A digital audio workstation for music production🔹 Custom workflows, plugins, previews, scheduled tasks, and moreWhat makes this particularly interesting is that much of bb’s own functionality was built using the same extension system available to users.The underlying idea is compelling: software doesn’t necessarily need to anticipate every use case anymore. It can provide solid fundamentals and then let AI adapt the softwa...
