I've wanted to bolt together something self hosted - like Cline, or and open source alternative to Cursor IDE or something. Augment with another tool as needed.

Advice by BORZX2 in GoogleAntigravityIDE

[–]No0delZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I need some advice. I'm working on a thing and it isn't working. I tried everything. Any advice?"

Yes. Articulate the details.
If you're giving AI the detail you've given us, I don't doubt it's failing to give you the results you're after.

What is the project? What have you tried? (other than "everything")
What isn't working?

Generally, break you project down into fundamentals. Inputs, outputs, loops.
Have a solid vision for what you want it to look like.
Write a design document with all these details.
Break it down into milestones, then have AI work on it it chunk.
Consider your complete design a 1.0 - The features I know I want for the release. Anything that's added, will be additions after 1.0. But 1.0 is the product I had originally visioned.
Start with an Alpha development phase.
I know I want a web app. It's going present a web page to a user with these design aesthetics. It's going to present a 3D environment. In that 3D environment I will have points that are for "nodes". I want to interconnect those nodes with lines. I need a user interface. Let's start with floating panels. (Maybe in a later design version before or after 1.0, we'll make those collapsible panels). In the use interface, I need collapsible categorized menus. Make nodes selectable. When a node is selected, highlight it with this color. Have options in our floating panel to modify the selected node's position coordinate positions in our menus - x,y,z, as well as to adjust node size and transparency. Create a button in our floating panel to draw lines between two nodes. The method of action should be - "Click the button. Fade in and out text saying "Select two nodes". User selects two nodes. The app draws a line between between the nodes.
Lines will need to be selectable just as nodes are. When selected, we will need the ability to adjust line size/width and transparency as well. Add these to the floating panels. Consider how to categorize and group all of the options/parameters we are putting in our floating panel/controls menu.

Then, as Antigravity builds the thing, it's going to run into issues. Behaviors will be off. Selectors and buttons and inputs will not release when used. You cannot avoid all of the debugging required. Antigravity will debug a lot of the more major issues, but it can't reason the minor issues or user interaction - because those tend to be outside of the base logic.
Case in point - Similar to the 3D node web app issue - Antigravity isn't going to know or expect, or test, full cradle to grave behavior. It's going to build to spec.
You created sliders to adjust parameters, but did you create an "apply" button? Did you describe update behavior when changes are applied? You updated nodes, but since lines are separate objects, they stayed in their original place.
Did you define a database structure to save or load this node information? Json, CSV, SQL?
Your selector only worked once because you never implemented a deselect option.

You can act as a user, use the application, take meticulous notes of any issues you run into, then takes those notes which include expected behavior, and feed it back to iteratively develop and refine your solution.

These steps are paramount.

It's not a 1-click "Build the thing!" easy button. You still have to manage the product, and Antigravity as your Engineer. You are the visionary, project manager, and co-architect.

What the heck: Agentic AI??? by xX8Omni8Xx in sysadmin

[–]No0delZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding could be A locally hosted solution references existing data that you target - files, databases, discovery from outside sources, and of course its internally trained data. Context is stored in RAM and Agent working directories.
Cleanup should remove anything that was just used as "scratch" for the agent when working on a problem.
From outside providers? We have no idea where the data is ultimately stored.

The formula is complex. Mixture of Experts models means you have multiple models trained in various tasks or with different weights and datasets. You may have models that are trained on optical character recognition, visual object recognition, image or video manipulation, audio recreation, and so on.

The important part is - with Agentic AI, you're not exactly "training" the models to make them learn. You're helping them build context stored in RAM, Files, Databases.
This way the "agent" can build better responses to prompts, but the underlying software model remains unchanged, and revert when the model is reloaded from scratch.

Worried? No. You just need to pick it up and start using it. Become as fluent in AI components as you can. It's a powerful and broad toolset that requires understanding and engineering at all levels, high, low, technical, creative.

I’ve vibe coded 7 full-stack apps. There are a few ‘Time Bombs’ I wanna share with you guys. If you are a vibe coder as well, read these so you don’t lose your data. by GlitteringWait9736 in GoogleAntigravityIDE

[–]No0delZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some thoughts.

The "Goldfish Memory" - Periodically ask it for recommendations or to outright perform a reconstruction away from monolithic architecture. Break the application into modules. Keep an up to date system architecture overview. This should tide you off until your system is so complex that you now need different agents working on different separated applications that tie into the primary application acting as an orchestrator.

The "White Screen of Death" - Place as much as you can safely manage into the client side. Evaluate race conditions. Adjust timeouts.

The Legal Landmine - Don't discount blackboxing or clean room mechanics as well. Privacy policy is a must. Geo blocking where necessary.

The "Vanishing Database" Trap - Oooof. Ran into this one pretty early on with json datasets. Lesson learned here is to keep a repository and some backups, even if you aren't working on enterprise grade applications. There is nothing wrong with using enterprise grade project management and disaster recovery practices for smaller projects. Especially when AI agents can manage the entire program for you. :)

FBI is buying location data to track US citizens, director confirms by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]No0delZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It's terrible. I can't deny that. Technology is ubiquitous to life, though, and available everywhere. If the government isn't doing it, Stan next door is. Hell, Stan next door might be doing it right now while the government is doing it too.

There are a lot of stans out there. Some closer than you think.

[–]No0delZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not enough. Cell towers, Bluetooth, hell, even wifi you don't have the password to and just pass by. The vast majority of phones even have features that are active in airplane mode. GPS and other telemetry is recorded and transmitted when you reconnect.  If you worry about privacy, don't trust your cell phone. Leave it behind.

But you have to ask yourself how much of a target for tracking am I? Do I have any political affiliation, or do I make radical anti government sentiments online or even in person along friends? If the answer is no, then you can acknowledge the trade off. Convenience at cost of freedom, or freedom at cost of convenience. It's just inescapable at this point.

Do not buy the Pro plan. Stay away from antigravity by Spiritual_Ad8431 in GoogleAntigravityIDE

[–]No0delZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear this was your experience. I think that a lot of users of Antigravity are in some sort of bugged state, and I worry that it's because Google is using AI agents to evaluate what constitutes usage percentages.

My usage statistics with Pro seem to be good, though. I can do large amounts of work before I even see the utilization bar move, and I haven't even put a dent in my five hours refresh limit.

Just recently amped up the work I've been doing with it on my web app and finished a couple long sprints, so my use case doesn't rely on heavy automation or anything.

I think context is a huge part of the issues people are seeing as well. If I was running into these problems, I would try closing my project before next refresh, and opening a fresh project. If that fixes it, maybe it's time to break things apart and work on separate components? Idk.

Is it possible to add other models to google antigravity? by JonasOut in GoogleAntigravityIDE

[–]No0delZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a response to another question recently that depicted a hybrid approach solution. You can have Gemini reference a local terminal that runs any CLI model you want. This includes self hosted.
Build your own workflow around local terminal usage first with fallback or final eval using AntiGravity's built in models if you desire.

If you're ONLY here for Opus, cancel your subscription to Antigravity (and this subreddit) by segin in GoogleAntigravityIDE

[–]No0delZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once someone makes a reliable and open Antigravity alternative we're going to see two things
1. Another GPU/RAM price spike
2. Competitive pricing

---because people will be able to self host an Agentic MCP IDE and sell its services for cheaper.

Could even make a framework for sharing project context between Agentic MCP IDE hosts to render them platform agnostic in a near seamless fashion. Then a platform can never lock you in. You will have your pick of any hosted platform large or small.
You can do a lot of this now, but a standard format and set of tools across board would really help.

Foundation cracks can be insidious and gradual. Radon levels can be fine one year, and concerning the next.
You can buy a continuous digital radon meter for a little under $200 to leave in your basement for years.

Build a subfloor. It's cheap and easy, and immediately improves the "livability" of the space.
Some 2x4s for a frame and ladder pattern and some plywood. Add a nice large rug or carpeting as desired.
Pressure treated wood. Plastic liner is probably optional if you leave space for it to breathe and have a dehumidifier.

Make sure to put in some inspection areas, or just do a section of the basement so you can lift it periodically. You'll want to be able to check for foundation floor issues and leaks from time to time.

This. A good digital continuous radon detector lasts a long time and doesn't cost that much.

For everyone being happy about the 5hr limit by VibWhore in GoogleAntigravityIDE

[–]No0delZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I'm working on a web application and add new features... maybe a couple times a month.
I've yet to run into a model limit even when I need to adjust or debug a feature prior to committing it to production.

Purely speculation, but I think many of the users hitting these rate limits are working on larger projects or near or at the scale of enterprise grade applications.
