aicanvas vs cockpit

aicanvas: AI Canvas is an open-core registry of animated React components, composed page blocks, design systems and templates. They are installed as real source code in your project rather than as a dependency, with one shadcn CLI command or through an MCP server.; cockpit: Cockpit runs Claude Code as a server you can reach from any browser. You get Claude Code on your phone, many sessions at once that survive closing the browser, and scheduled cron-style runs.
