LoomBoard v0.1.2 ships: a desktop chat app for loomcycle

LoomBoard v0.1.2, a desktop chat app for the loomcycle agentic runtime, has been released with four packaging options including a Tauri v2 native desktop app, an npm CLI runner, an embeddable React component, and a Chrome MV3 side-panel extension. The thin client offers six capabilities such as streamed output, live HUD, and attachment support, but all builds are unsigned for v0.1.x, with signed builds planned for v0.2.

LoomBoard v0.1.2 ships as the user-facing chat app for the loomcycle agentic runtime. Four packagings on one React codebase: a Tauri v2 native desktop app for macOS universal DMG , Windows NSIS + MSI , and Linux AppImage + deb ; an npm CLI runner @loomboard/app that opens the same UI in your default browser via a local reverse-proxy that sidesteps browser CORS; an embeddable React component @loomboard/chat with peer deps react + react-dom + @loomcycle/client; and a Chrome MV3 side-panel extension that registers browser read page / fill / click / navigate as RFC BC client-executed tools. Thin client — no LoomBoard-side backend, database, auth, or message queue. Six shipped capabilities: streamed output with tool calls + reasoning traces from every provider, live token/throughput/context HUD + context compaction, Interruption answers in place, image + PDF + DOCX attachments pdfjs-dist + mammoth extract text browser-side , embedded Skills + MCP catalog via the reusable @loomcycle/library React component, and inline RFC AW EventLimit budget warnings amber soft / red hard . Chrome extension actuation gated by a Confirm-vs-Auto toggle; sensitive fields always require confirmation. All builds UNSIGNED for v0.1.x macOS Gatekeeper right-click → Open; Windows SmartScreen "More info" → "Run anyway" . Signed builds queued for v0.2. Board mode + Explorer mode target v0.3. Android/iOS via Tauri mobile after that. Chrome Web Store submission after v0.2 signing. Apache-2.0. Downloads at loomcycle.dev/loomboard.
