Next Steps - A Separate UI Project

[operand]

I want to share my thoughts on the next steps for Agency and what to expect.

The next phase of work is driven by the goals of supporting multimodality, code execution, and other powerful features that expand what is possible.

In thinking about the work needed I've come to the conclusion that developing a complete application is necessary. One that includes front-end components, storage, and other things.

I've settled on a unique approach to support these features and more. It will take some time, but you should expect a public prototype in the next few months.

Because of the size and nature of the UI project, it will be released as an independent project of its own, which can later integrate with Agency.

So I wanted to say a couple things before focusing on the work ahead.

1. For those of you who have followed along with Agency from the start, thank you. It's been a great experience so far. I couldn't be more grateful for the help from @wwj718, @hidaris, and others who have contributed to this point.

2. As I step into developing a separate project for the UI, know that I will continue to support the library and accept contributions, though my full time focus will be shifted to the UI project for now.

I wish I could tell you more about the unique plans I have for the application, but I'm keeping them under wraps while I remain focused on development.

If you'd like to be notified when a prototype is ready, I've set up a newsletter for me to share updates and announce when it's available. You can sign up here.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you stay tuned for what I believe will be an exciting next step. ❤️
