About

Ruflet Explorer

Features
Read full description

Ruflet is a modern Ruby framework that brings native app development into the Ruby ecosystem by leveraging Flutter’s rendering engine as its core runtime. It allows developers to build fully native applications for mobile, desktop, and web using a simple and expressive Ruby DSL. Ruflet supports both server-driven UI (ideal for rapid iteration and Rails integration) and self-contained apps powered by an embedded Ruby runtime, enabling apps to run directly on the device without a backend dependency. With a growing ecosystem of widgets, built-in services (like camera, maps, and more), and seamless integration with Ruby on Rails, Ruflet bridges the gap between backend and frontend development. It gives Ruby developers the ability to ship high-performance, native apps without leaving their familiar environment combining productivity, flexibility, and modern cross-platform capabilities.

About

TethrX

Features
Read full description

TethrX is a native, private, independent remote for Grok Build, SpaceXAI's terminal coding agent. Your phone is only a control plane, Grok, its tools, and your code stay on your own machine. TethrX connects to a small open-source bridge you run on your computer. β€’ Watch Grok work in real time β€” thoughts, commands, file edits, and their output. β€’ Approve or reject every tool call β€” from the app, or straight from a push notification on your lock screen. β€’ Plan mode β€” Grok drafts a plan; you review and approve it before it builds. β€’ Review what changed β€” per-file diffs, commit or discard from your phone. β€’ Queue follow-ups, branch sessions, schedule recurring tasks, dictate messages. β€’ No accounts, no tracking, no third-party servers. Your phone talks only to your bridge, direct, over Tailscale, with certificate-pinned HTTPS. Requires your own Grok Build install (SuperGrok / SuperGrok Heavy / X Premium+) and the TethrX bridge running on your computer (npx tethrx-bridge). Setup takes a couple of minutes. TethrX is an independent client and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SpaceXAI. "Grok" and "Grok Build" are trademarks of their respective owner.
