Fyreflock developer details AI chat app update caching issues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The developer of Fyreflock, an app that runs within AI chat interfaces like Claude Desktop and ChatGPT, encountered significant challenges in deploying updates. Initially, the application's interface was cached by the AI host, preventing users who had previously opened the app from seeing new versions. A subsequent attempt to use hash-based URIs for cache-busting backfired, causing users who hadn't reconnected to see a broken interface instead of an outdated one. The final solution involved caching a loader script that dynamically fetches the latest version of the application's core logic from the server upon each opening. AI

    <p>The first deploy of games in Fyreflock's chat box went out with no Play button. The site was on the new build, the server was serving the new page, and Claude Desktop kept drawing the old one anyway, because it had cached the box under its URI and had no reason to ask again.</…
