Opus 5.5 on High motion reel with native #Android Kotlin and Jetpack Compsoe. Aka you don’t need to settle for web or xplat tech on mobile.

Agent Mode prototyping Agent Mode in @androidstudio.bsky.social: quick action to send device screenshot to chat 📸

Lastly, there's Ask mode: this replaces the previous Ask tab. It's MUCH better than before as it's actually agentic and able to use similar tools to dive into your codebase and investigate issues, unlike before where it purely relied on LLM knowledge and added context.

Iterate on the plan with the agent by reviewing and adding comments in a dedicated tab. For Antigravity users this should feel very familiar. 😎

Agent Mode in @androidstudio.bsky.social Panda 4 is getting a big upgrade: Planning Mode! Allows you to work with the agent to first create a plan then code. Though if you prefer, use Fast to jump into coding and task completion.

Quick prototype via Gemini 3 Flash: snapping the Running Devices tool window to the device width in @androidstudio.bsky.social. Drives me crazy that I currently have to manually resize the window with my mouse.

For those maxing out your Claude usage for the holidays, check out Air (air.dev) - an agent manager UI from @jetbrains.com, built on top of Claude Code, with some extra IDE goodies like code editing and navigation. It's still in preview, but another nice option to have for agentic coding!

Very first result with layout issues

Chris Sinco @csinco.com · 24/12/2025

Nano 🍌 assets started with a richer chart which it easily wireframe out. Notice the matrices are incorrect, and the agent simply just had training data that corrected it in my project 🙂

Chris Sinco @csinco.com · 24/12/2025

Been meaning to start a Pokemon type chart in my app. Asked Nano 🍌 for a wireframe, then gave it to @androidstudio.bsky.social Agent Mode to code it up based on my current design system and assets. Pretty decent after some small layout fixes!

To celebrate Islands going default in @intellijidea.com, I've updated my custom theme In Bed By 7pm and created an Islands Darcula one for @androidstudio.bsky.social support and other IJ-based IDEs! Links below 👇

So far GPT 5.2 is quite slow and not chatty at all. But hey, we can now use it on day 1 in @androidstudio.bsky.social like all the other cool kids 😎

Chris Sinco @csinco.com · 09/12/2025

Coming soon in the next stable release: device tools for Agent Mode in @androidstudio.bsky.social ! Makes it simpler to verify code changes as they are done, and manual test just with natural language. Would be curious to see other creative uses as well!

Even Apple apps have issues, like Messages. (the shape clipping jank though is hidden in practice since this is from the screen recording)

Some gems after 12h of usage. Blur and contrast jank in so many places

Inspired by this article, I built a small tool in Compose Desktop to more easily iterate through building fancy mesh gradients from @sinasamaki.com's Modifier recipe! Code is here github.com/c5inco/Mesh with the code export assuming you are using the same Modifier recipe

And lastly In Bed by 7pm - one of my favorite themes from VS Code (originally created by @sarahedo.bsky.social) that I don't think was ever ported to IntelliJ, so now it's here!
