I was able to get a usable machine after hitting “Reset” on the main [studio.firebase.google.com](http://studio.firebase.google.com) site. That said, yes a rename of “Reset” to “Restart Machine” would make this more clear

So extremely frustrating to invest so much time, in a project that was coming together really well, the whole thing has ground to a stop, the issue is actually the Gemini Coding Companion in my instance, it seems the cognitive load in the thread is killing its ability to do anything. I really need to get this fixed and find a way to get what I’ve done into a new Workspace so I can continue.

@Patrick_MacFie - can you copy/paste the details you get from the debug panel that appears when you click on the tiny gray dot in the bottom-left corner?

I’m glad I’m not the only one, I really thought I had something wrong with my project. It used to run so smooth but now I cant get a rally on good LMs for more than 1min. Just crashes with random errors like

Adding myself to this thread - Every time over the last 48 hours or so I try to promt the ai, it can usually process for a little while, give a paragraph or two, but once it attempts to write code, it inevitably freezes and shows the disconnected spinning arrows that indicates its trying to reconnect. After that, no more code is generated, and I have to restart the vm to get it to show itself again. All prompts result in this cycle and none return any actual changes to the codebase.

Adding myself as well, I am loving Prototyper in Studio, but right now its 100% unusable for me - last weekend it was running super fast, but for the last 24 hours I can’t even get past one prompt. - I created a ticket as well, but comments here to chime in.

a little off topic, but how haas your experience been working on a monorepo using the tooling?

For my particular use case right now, Firebase Studio provides a great fit. I do not have anyone helping out contributing (though all are welcome!) and I’m not using git since one of the primary use cases is a new version control paradigm. So all I need is a cloud-based environment that is reliable and allows basic website testing (it is a “local first” approach, having been started before that was a term but I digress…).

Most of all, it’s _simple_ to use. I use custom npm publish scripts for a simple one-line stopgap solution that leverages npmjs.

Specifically with the monorepo side of things, the challenge initially was how to setup and configure then-IDX to test with multiple libs and apps. Uploading was relatively straight-forward. The dev.nix was a little less so, but works well enough now. I rarely have touched it for the last several months, since I’m only working on one front end. I would add that the in-IDE web preview is useless once I was implementing PWA-related caching, but the external tab works great.

So now, I make my changes, publish to npm like one would normally check in to git. When I need to make changes to lower libs, I do so, update my deps through npm, and it works smoothly.

The real solution, even though you didn’t ask for it, is to unify “monorepos” with devsecops with a new protocol, which this will eventually do. With funding this would be greatly accelerated, but I’ll be able to do extremely interesting things within a month or two. This is largely because we’re moving towards human PLUS agent workflows, and that really what we need to be versioning is just natural language. Huge opportunity! I would go on, but I don’t want to spam too much. Feel free to contact me where we’re not spamming Firebase Studio’s forums, which btw, have been a huge help for me in using their system. They’ve been great.

Awesome, I’m new here coming over from using Plasmic as a visual development tool and that was my first time participating in an web devlopment community, so looking forward to getting move involved here now too.

I made the transition after creating a pretty robustly featured app in Gemini Canvas and this was the natural progression; and I had always expected that when I was going to create a sellable product that I would land on GCP ecosystem due to their Assured Workload plus I’m generally bought into the Google ecosystem everywhere else in my life.
