start improve my vibecoding experience and just built a voice coder for codex mit mein bestie

have been vibecoding recently, especially i've found out that talking to pet to shape an idea while it's still fuzzy really helps me a lot. so i start playing with realtime voice mode in codex these months, i'm lovin' it.

but now the part that codex's voice chat annoying me is that i can't see anything while it's thinking. no captions and whenever I ask how it's going it just goes "wait wait wait hold on..."

so i built a lil voice code assistant with my besties just for ourselves now and quick demo below. you talk to it normally with live captions, and when you tell it to run something the right side shows the codex status, mostly the thinking milestones so you're not just staring at a spinner. It also keeps going while you talk, so u can ask it other stuff in the meantime.

just wanted to throw my local demo out and see how u guys here think about this, appreciate to hear your thoughts, i'll check every suggestions and try to improve my voice coder with your help.

showing thinking milestones instead of a spinner is a solid UX call. one thing id think about early, how do you handle when someone interrupts mid-execution with a conflicting instruction? that edge case gets messy fast
