ttolbel UI

a note.

hi i am kibru.

every app i've built, something bothered me. not the logic. the feel. whether it has weight. whether it answers. most don't and you notice before you can say why.

so i stopped using what everyone uses. you can smell those libraries from across the room. built my own instead. ui.tolbel.com. the way i think about it: taste is not decoration, it is the decision you make at the start, not the thing you patch in at the end.

but lately i have been thinking past components entirely. that became its own thing: Ambient Experience, the agentic extension of tolbel. connected to it, but a separate object.

agents are real now. and if something knows your full context, memory, history, what you need before you ask, then designing in screens and tabs and routes stops making sense. it is the wrong mental model. you are still thinking in corridors when the walls are already gone.

what i think comes next is a single Surface. the agent puts what you need on it. you do not navigate. you do not search. it comes to you. the UI is ephemeral, it appears, you interact, it is gone. no persistent screens collecting dust.

and Sessions do not die when you look away. they Dock. the Dock holds every live Session still in progress. you tap back in, or you ask the agent to take you there. the agent manages the journey. you just move.

i am building this now. one Surface, a backend brain, orchestrator, memory, signals, full context, streaming all the way to native mobile. fully typed end-to-end in TypeScript so UI can be generated and streamed from backend to device without losing the shape of the data.

i will open-source it after it passes v1.

cheers :)
