Crimson Workbench - a free item picker and mod toolkit for Crimson Desert

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on Crimson Workbench, a free, open source toolkit for Crimson Desert.

The item picker lets you search for items and add them while playing. In the video, I add 10 masks directly to my inventory.

It also lets you add mounts and 10 extra sockets to supported equipment, with existing sockets preserved. You can manage the extra sockets’ stones in Workbench.

The free mod marketplace includes larger lions, faster mounts, no mount stamina cost, skill unlocks, no sleep cooldown, 30-hour sleep and removing of Blackstar flight restrictions. Some placement and quest restrictions still apply. (you can also request mods or features on GitHub - just create an issue or dm me)

All changes outside the item picker currently require closing the game. If the tool gains users, my goal is to make these features usable while playing in future releases.

Everything comes in one Windows installer with an English interface. Supports game version 1.0.0.2976 (current game version on Steam). The installer is unsigned, so Windows may show an unknown publisher warning.

Download v0.8.0

Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

GPT 5.6 vs fable 5 and opus 4.8

hey all, senior fullstack java/typescript dev here, been doing this since long before ai was a thing. haven’t written a single line of code myself since opus 4.6 dropped.

now my employer is asking if we should switch over to codex. so far i’ve only used codex with gpt 5.5 xhigh for personal projects, mostly small edits and refactors (i’m just on the $20 plus plan), so i don’t really have a feel for it at scale.

wanted to ask the community what your first impressions are with gpt 5.6, especially sol and terra, compared to fable 5 and opus 4.8. code quality is what i care about most.

You built something good and nobody saw it - what did you do next?

With Claude Code / Codex everyone's shipping insanely fast right now, but a lot of it seems to die at distribution. Trying to figure out if this is a real shared problem or just mine.

Last time you put something out and it didn't get the reach you hoped:

  • What exactly did you try to get it seen?
  • What did it cost you (time, money, sanity)?
  • What did you do after - keep pushing, pivot, let it die?

Not looking for tool recommendations, I genuinely just want to hear what you actually went through

I built an open-source browser agent that uses 3-57x fewer tokens than alternatives - full benchmark included

Built Sentinel after burning through LLM credit testing browser-use and Stagehand on a client project. Both feed large chunks of the rendered DOM back to the LLM every step - token costs spiral on multi-step flows.

The trick: feed the LLM Chrome's accessibility tree (what screen readers use) instead of the DOM. It's 10-50x smaller and every element comes pre-labeled (button, textbox, etc), so the LLM stops guessing what's interactive.

9-task benchmark, same model (Gemini 3 Flash), 5 runs each:

  • 3-57x fewer tokens than browser-use
  • 1.4-13x fewer than Stagehand
  • 0/45 failures vs 0/45 (browser-use) vs 6/45 (Stagehand)

In production with paying clients (all self-hosted). MIT, TypeScript. Self-host is the default path. If there's demand for managed hosting I'll add it at cost - infra + model usage, no margin on top.

I built it, so verify the benchmark yourself - raw JSON per run is committed.

Curious where you'd expect this to break down - heavy canvas/WebGL UIs is my own guess.
