DeepSeek Harness 0.2: Writing Plugins by Just Talking
On September 28 DeepSeek Harness shipped v0.2.0-rc.1. Two items in the release notes concern plugins: an improved plugin management UI and install guidance, and a creation mode with fleshed-out plugin development instructions plus an experience skill.
Writing My First dsh Plugin: Three Files, One Command, and the Two Potholes I Hit
On the night of September 28, the DeepSeek Harness plugin list gained three entries at once: crypto-ticker, a crypto price card in the lower left of the sidebar; busy-workspace, which pins workspaces with running sessions to the top of the list; and router-laya, which picks a thinking level for each message automatically.
Row-Level localState Cannot Carry Nested Edits: Reworking Offline Sync with KMP + SQLDelight + Supabase
A user edits a checklist on the subway: adds two levels, renames one of them, deletes the one they do not want. The whole thing happens offline and only uploads once they are back above ground.
Building My Own PikPak Client with KMP: Not a Single expect/actual
A couple of days ago a post about a niche piece of software crossed my feed — a project called Piko, posted by its own developer: an open-source third-party PikPak client, Android and Windows, sharing both UI and business code across the two.

DeepSeek Harness Ships an Official Desktop App: Sign In With Your Account, Voice Input Runs on Your Own CPU
dsh is a web app: run npx to start the server, it takes port 3080, open a browser tab and work with the agent there. It works, but switch windows or close the browser and you have to go find it again. It always feels like living in someone else’s house.

ADK for Kotlin 1.1 + Ktor 3.6: An AI Agent Primer for KMP Developers
Python’s agent frameworks have already cycled through several generations — LangChain, LlamaIndex, and now Google’s own ADK. Kotlin has been quiet the whole time — not because nobody wanted to build one, but because there was nothing official to lean on, and nobody quite dared put it in production.
