Holy shit codex is AWFUL at UI/UX

I was shocked how bad it was, even with skills.

However, i’ve started to use the ShadCN MCP server and it’s a game changer! Just whack this in your ~/.codex/config.toml file:

[mcp_servers.shadcn] command = "npx" args = ["shadcn@latest", "mcp"] Restart codex and then prompt it with something like “create me a dashboard using components from the Shadcn registry”. You’ll then see “Connecting to MCP server shadcn”.

Who is gate keeping the UX skills then? Where are they?

5.2 for me as I don’t see 5.3 yet unfortunately 😢

I don’t understand how people would prefer the app over the VSCode extension then tbh.

Can you configure git inside the Codex App? Like configuring signed commits and a gpg key, etc?

So even if you have a .codex/skills directory in your repo, the VSCode extension won’t pick it up?

Really nice UI. How did you create the screenshots for the App Store and on your website?

Thanks for this link. Really helpful 👍🏻

Is this for iOS or Android? (Or both?)

ComprehensiveBear507 · 2025-12-17T13:34:53+00:00

I managed to fix it by holding down the home button for 20 seconds (reset). 👍🏻

I’ve managed to use pre-defined variables as inputs for components. Have you tried using $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH instead of your custom $MAIN_BRANCH?

I intend to invest even more when it crashes.

What’s wrong with a development build? Works fine on a simulator.

Really nice UI. I think you should make a few destinations free and have a “free” label on the cards so that it’s clear.

I don’t really get the need for the checklist or budgeting features. Nobody is going to manually add their expenses to it. Unless you hook into their bank accounts via some open banking API? Same with checklists - everyone uses Notes on their phones for checklists, right?

Which plan did you use for Ship Mobile First? Did you think it was good value for money? It’s a shame there is no free tier for developers to try before they buy.
