It was entirely built with OpenCode tool - first with the TUI version, then with the first usable version of OpenChamber, which I then used to build the rest.

The whole project was built entirely with AI coding agents under my supervision. It started as a hobby project and proof of concept that AI agents can create genuinely usable software.

Why use OpenChamber?

Remote access: Use OpenCode from anywhere via browser
Familiarity: A visual alternative for developers who prefer GUI workflows
