GitHub Contributions
Relay connects a Flutter client to a Node.js backend alongside the developer’s projects. It presents supported coding agents through a common interface, including persistent conversations, streamed replies, cancellation and file transfer. The backend remains responsible for the source code, shell access and agent credentials.[2]
Ideas
In the launch post, ELIN describes wanting access to agents on an unused home computer or dedicated server without opening a remote terminal every time. Relay makes a phone, browser or another computer a control surface. Its documented deployment has no hosted Relay intermediary; users operate their own backend and device credentials.[2][3]

A self-hosted backend and cross-device client for persistent AI coding sessions and remote project access.
Begin with the architecture and security documentation. Identify which machine holds code and credentials and how a client is authorized before following the setup guide; server administration knowledge is useful.
