I was trying out Phoenix.new and had a few issues. I’m using Orion browser (Webkit).
- The agent was stuck debugging an issue and the “Cancel the Command” button didn’t do anything. The agent kept on debugging and fixing issues, but the problem is the debugging process is extremely expensive and it blew through like $8 in credits before it said it was forcing the agent to take a break. I’m not sure if the button forces that, but that didn’t occur for several minutes after pushing the button.
- Also while debugging, it hit the 100 message limit and stopped responding. I couldn’t “squash the chat history”, I’m assuming because the agent was still working in the background. Not sure if it spent more credits doing work in the background while the UI was not responding. I had to hard refresh a few times for it to recognize the “squash the chat history” command.
- Using the “Clone to local computer” is broken. The link provided has a variable
$RANDOM
that isn’t populated in link. When copying the link, it’s blank when pasted in the terminal and I get the errorremote: Invalid request format. Use /git/{token}/{nonce}/{repo}
. It looks like$RANDOM
is supposed to be a nonce, but it’s not working.
