    We dropped GH copilot because it just didn't keep up with other options capabilities. Github cant help but fumble the ball.

    Personal - I've been building an open source parallel agent orchestrator. Or maybe its a terminal window manager that integrates with agent harnesses. I don't really know how I'd like to describe...

    Personal - I've been building an open source parallel agent orchestrator. Or maybe its a terminal window manager that integrates with agent harnesses. I don't really know how I'd like to describe it but the goals are to provide as pleasant and intuitive of a UI as possible for a bunch of agents running in a bunch of terminals.

    What's interesting about it is that each terminal has a cli injected into its session that allows agents to manage tasks and terminals themselves, so you can DIY your own gas town while having agents work transparently in the same kanban board and terminals as you. Tasks are isolated by Git worktrees without you having to manage them, and agents can be isolated in a lima VM.

    Biggest problem I have right now is figuring out the best UX for having powerful sandboxes that aren't constrained purely to dev while having full support for computer use include GUI. Its hard to hide sandbox complexity from users when you want to 'collaborate' between the host and guest (and harder when you want to continue supporting both mac and linux users equally).
