I mentioned it was an experimental proof of concept, but I didn't specify what that means. Right now it's just a web app, but yes exactly as you said, the goal is to turn it into a desktop application where the files live alongside your code (somehow) and can write to a file system. That's the natural spot for it, I think. As for why it needs a dedicated UI, there's a few reasons. First, the syntax highlighting as you mentioned is a wickedly difficult problem. I'm super stoked that it even works at all, tbh. Another reason (which I didn't showcase) is that the editor builds source maps from your pseudocode to the real code. So you'll be able to uniquely trace each part of your prompt to the line it generated. That kind of thing might be able to be implemented in a plugin, but at the moment it's way easier if I just control the entire environment. I'm not opposed to it, though - this could go in lots of different directions and I'm open minded.
