fredconex releases Ion, a zero-install browser-based coding harness running from a single HTML file
A developer shared Ion, a self-built agent harness that runs entirely in Chromium-based browsers with no installation. It connects to any OpenAI-compatible server and targets quick tasks, including editing files from a phone browser. It is sandboxed to a user-granted folder with no MCP or terminal access, which the author frames as a safety feature rather than a replacement for fuller agents.
