xzhao254··on Show HN: Reagent – graph based framework for building AI agent with UI
Nicely done!

Is there a way to ensure the generated widgets stay compatible with my custom CSS if I want to embed this library into my chat application? Also how difficult is it to create custom widgets?

xzhao254··on Show HN: We made a virtual personal office using WebRTC for hybrid workers
Hi HN,

I want to show you the virtual personal office (VPO) my team made. It's like a personal Zoom meeting but looks and feels like an office which you can also decorate with pictures/gifs.

The link above is the link to my personal office, so come in, don't be startled and say hi. You can also create your own VPO for free on our website at https://convync.com/. I would love to hear what you think and how this can be improved.

As companies shift to hybrid work, remote workers may be at a disadvantage compared to their in-office counterparts. The VPO would give those remote employees an "in-office" presence by making them more accessible to others. Workers will be able to say impromptu, “I’ll be in my office” without the hassle of having to schedule a call.

Convync was built using Twilio's video SDK. We also have an alternate version using our self built webRTC infrastructure, but that one's super janky and can't scale to more than 6 people concurrently, and screensharing doesn't work properly across browsers.

So don't be shy, come on by my office and let me know what you think!
