State of Reborn
CodeGlass
Evolve Together
Every AI coding session becomes a learning artifact that compounds. Your AI gets smarter. You get smarter. Neither of you forgets.
One-time purchase. Works with Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and more.
The Problem With Vibe Coding
AI makes it easy to ship. But shipping without understanding is a trap.
- xYou prompt AI, copy-paste the code, hope it works
- xWhen it breaks, you have no idea where to look
- xEvery AI session starts from zero context
- xYou make the same mistakes over and over
- xYou ship things but can't explain how they work
- +AI writes your code AND a walkthrough explaining it
- +When it breaks, the walkthrough shows you exactly where and why
- +Every session starts with accumulated rules and context
- +Mistakes become rules -- caught automatically next time
- +You build understanding that compounds with every session
Built for Two Kinds of Builders
New to Coding?
You're using AI to build apps for the first time. It works -- but you don't fully understand what it built. That's fine. That's where everyone starts.
CodeGlass explains YOUR code back to you in plain English. Every session, you understand a little more.
Experienced Developer?
You know how to code. But you're tired of re-explaining your codebase context to AI every single session. The rules evaporate between conversations.
CodeGlass gives your AI persistent memory. Rules compound. Context carries forward. Your AI starts smarter every time.
The Loop That Makes You Both Smarter
Inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch: experiment, measure, keep what works, compound.
You ask your AI to build something
A feature, a fix, a component -- anything
AI reads your rules first
Every lesson learned from past sessions is applied automatically
AI generates code + runs eval
Your code gets a health score: 4/4 means everything passes
AI writes a walkthrough
WHAT it built, HOW data flows, WHERE files live, WHEN things run, WHY it was built this way
You read and learn
The walkthrough explains YOUR code in plain English with real analogies
New rules emerge
If something broke, the AI proposes a rule. You promote it. It sticks forever.
Then it loops. Every cycle starts smarter than the last.
This Is What a Walkthrough Looks Like
After every coding task, your AI writes one of these. You open it in Obsidian and everything clicks.
WHAT
You added a form with a “Save” button that takes what you typed and stores it in your Supabase database.
HOW -- The Data Journey
1. You type a note into the text field -- every keystroke updates React state
2. You click “Save” -- this calls the handleSave function
3. handleSave uses the shared Supabase client to insert a row
4. Supabase returns data and error -- we check BOTH
5. Success toast appears and the input clears
Patterns Used
Eval Score
5 example walkthroughs included in the vault so you can see what “good” looks like from day one.
12 Named Patterns, Ready to Reference
Each pattern has a name, a plain-English analogy, and a code example. Your AI links to them in every walkthrough.
Fetch-on-Mount
Load data one time when a component first appears on screen.
“Do this chore once when you walk in the door. Don't do it again unless you leave and come back.”
Loading-Error-Data Triad
Three pieces of state that always exist together in any component that fetches data.
“Three roommates that always move in together.”
RLS-Aware Insert
When Row Level Security blocks an insert, Supabase returns success with null data instead of an error.
“The bouncer can reject you without saying a word. Check if you actually got in.”
Controlled Input
Form fields where the displayed value comes from React state.
“The input is a puppet -- React state pulls the strings.”
+ 8 more patterns included: Auth Guard, Conditional Render, List Render, Callback Prop, and more.
Three Steps to Get Running
No build tools. No terminal wizardry. Just download, open, and start coding.
Download and Open
Download the vault. Open it in Obsidian (free app). Install two plugins: Dataview and Templater. Done.
Get Obsidian (free) →Connect Your AI
Copy the instructions file for your AI tool (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, or any other). Paste into your project. One minute.
Pre-made files for 5 tools includedStart Coding
Ask your AI to build something. It reads the rules, writes the code, and writes a walkthrough. You learn. It compounds.
Later: add NotebookLM for audio study →Works With Every AI Tool
CodeGlass is AI-tool-agnostic. Same vault, same loop, same compounding -- regardless of which AI you code with.

Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. CodeGlass is designed for people who are using AI to code for the first time. The walkthroughs explain everything in plain English with real-world analogies. You learn by reading what your AI built -- not by writing code from scratch.
What is Obsidian?
Obsidian is a free note-taking app that runs on your computer. It's where the CodeGlass vault lives. You open it, you see your walkthroughs, patterns, and rules as connected notes. Think of it as a personal wiki for your code knowledge.
Does this work with Cursor / Copilot / Windsurf?
Yes. CodeGlass includes pre-made instruction files for Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and a generic file that works with any AI tool. The core loop is the same regardless of which AI you use.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT to explain my code?
ChatGPT explanations evaporate when you close the tab. CodeGlass writes walkthroughs that persist in your vault, link to named patterns, and accumulate rules that your AI reads before every future task. It's the difference between a one-time answer and a compounding knowledge system.
What if I use a different tech stack (not React/Supabase)?
The walkthrough format (WHAT/HOW/WHERE/WHEN/WHY) works with any stack. The 12 pre-built patterns focus on React/TypeScript/Supabase, but you can add your own patterns for any technology. The vault already demonstrates this -- it includes projects using both Vite and Next.js.
Is this a subscription?
No. $29 one-time. You download the vault. It lives on your machine. No account needed, no cloud dependency, no recurring charge. Future updates are included.
What about NotebookLM? Do I need that?
It's optional but powerful. NotebookLM lets you upload your vault content and generate audio overviews -- like a podcast about your own code. Great for learning while walking or driving. The Pro tier includes the export script and integration guide.
I'm an experienced developer. Is this too basic for me?
The pattern explanations are written for beginners, but the system itself is powerful for experienced devs. The real value for you is persistent AI context: rules that carry across sessions, walkthroughs that document architectural decisions, and an eval harness you can customize. See the Advanced Usage guide included in the Pro tier.
