Why We Migrated foxl.ai from React SPA to Next.js SSG
For two months, Google couldn't index our landing page. The fix: swap Vite CSR for Next.js static export. Here's what we learned about Cloudflare Workers constraints, JSON-LD sitelinks, and why "we'll add SSR later" is a trap.
Foxl v0.2.27: Trimming the Sidebar, the Skill Library, and the Tray
Integrations is third-party only again. The skill library is ~60% smaller (19 of 35 enabled by default). Git is no longer a built-in tool — exec covers it. The system tray dropdown drops five toggles nobody used and gains a recents list and 7-day usage. Credits in the sidebar avatar popover, OAuth-style install modals for Slack and Microsoft 365.
Foxl v0.2.23: Notifications That Actually Do Something
Action buttons on every banner, body-click deep-links that land on the exact agent session or conversation, and a fix for "Install Now" silently doing nothing on macOS. Plus a settings test picker that exercises the real pipeline, not a shortcut.
Foxl v0.2.21: Strands SDK 1.0 and Express 5
Upgraded to Strands SDK v1.0.0 stable with concurrent tool execution and cancellation hooks, plus Express 5 migration for async error handling and modern routing.
Foxl v0.2.19: gpt-image-2 on Your ChatGPT Subscription
Generate and edit images with gpt-image-2 through your existing ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription — no OpenAI API key, no per-image billing. Plus GPT-5.5 support, a model-routing bug fix that was silently coercing GPT-5.4 to gpt-4.1, and Strands SDK v1.0.0-rc.5.
Foxl v0.2.16: Claude Code OAuth, Reborn as a Compatibility Layer
Anthropic silently reroutes certain OAuth requests off your Pro/Max subscription and onto pay-as-you-go billing. We found the routing rules, built a translation layer, and brought Claude Code (OAuth) back - with honest trade-offs.
