web-edit 0.1a0 released for editing files from a phone
The application web-edit 0.1a0 lets users view and edit files through a web interface. The author created it to work with Codex Remote from his phone so he could change login credentials without passing them to an LLM. It is designed to run over a Tailscale network.
The author released web-edit 0.1a0, an application that provides a web interface for viewing and editing files in a folder. The idea came from his work with Codex Remote on his phone: he wanted to manually edit a file containing login credentials without passing those credentials to an LLM.
According to the author, the application, written in Python, was created by Codex and the model GPT-6 Astra Extra High. It is designed to run over a Tailscale network; the author describes a workflow in which an agent starts the application and the user then edits files directly from their phone. The editor uses CodeMirror 6. The author chose this component over Monaco because he considers it easier to use on mobile.
Why it matters
The application adds a way to make manual changes to files when working with AI from a phone. This is especially useful when a user needs to edit login credentials and does not want to include their contents in communication with an LLM; this is the purpose the author describes.
