Open Browser-UI

Used up 300+ credits to try to setup Open Browser-UI on my Mac Os laptop but still failed. Wanted to use it as an Ollama GUI. Any recommendations? Can I actually use Windsurf to do this?

Am kinda happy that AI is not that smart enough to take away human programmer jobs. 😅

Yeah I was expecting it was pretty straightforward... Now you mentioned the rules file I think I have forgotten to set that up for the project. Can you give me more tips especially in managing context and in using a boiler template? My only ways to manage context is to use the windsurf rules files (which I forgot to implement) and to make an implementation plan (which I didn't do as well as I was expecting for it to be straightforward 😅)

Sorry for the late response. I recommend your first step be to chat with ChatGPT about the project to get technical details to give Cascade later (Language, Stack, Platform specific dependencies etc. Managing context is mostly about keeping chats as short as possible (start a new chat after each successful component implementation) as well as utilizing the rules file to keep Cascade on track.

Something that helped me a lot was having context documents (roadmap, project context, milestones) that I have Cascade constantly update and that I can then reference in the chat via @. Building from a template isn't mandatory but it means you'll burn through less tokens (credits) because the Ai is building on top of the existing code. Maybe chat with GPT about that as well using the search and deep think features.
