    We have a concept of setup and teardown scripts if you're interested in checking them out! Together with worktrees, you can make it pretty automatic to making copies of your repo: …

    Ah unfortunately not through the hosted product, but if you fork and build it you should be able to skip the sign-in

    Fair pushback! The space will settle down eventually, it's just clear to a lot of people that there's a lot of value to be created in this space that hasn't been created yet :)

    That's an interesting take! Basically Linux / a computer is everything you need to ship code. If I could provide one gentle pushback - the same way there's utility in OMZ, lazyvim …

    So we also ship a cloud service along with Superset, which enables our Linear integration, Slack integration, and our multiplayer capabilities / remote workspaces. When you sign in…

    So far we've been growing pretty healthily all things considered! I think one thing to remember is that the other side of us having dozens of competitors is that if the space could…

    Actually Cursor is starting to converge with us as we speak! You can look at their new agents mode (which is now their default for new users) as an example. For what happens, in ou…

    On the docket! Right now the main thing we have enabled is the file system + terminals + ai agents through remote workspaces, but yes dev environments is definitely on the agenda :…

    Ah actually we're unaffiliated!

    That's fair! We do have more paid features (a slack integration, remote workspaces etc.) but yeah we haven't found the best balance for which tier to put each in for sure.

    True yeah that would be a good feature! We took a peek at it in the past and it's not too bad, no promises on when it'll ship though

    Yeah we have friends that have done the same! Definitely quick to build a custom CLI if you're willing to roll up your sleeves. I do tend to like the niceties of our GUI tho, if yo…

    Comment #46433693

    No you're good, it's fair feedback! I think a fair description of where we're at is "if you use a cli agent for 90+% of your work, this is a drop-in terminal replacement that'll ma…

    YES their project is great, there's a lot in the planning space that would be extremely useful (grabbing your Circleback notes -> creating tickets, having playbooks like Devin in t…

    Yep, there's a set of tasks I never have to babysit anymore and it's very freeing. Our desktop builds are 15m sometimes, and instead of checking it and waiting I have Claude watch …

    Awesome that sounds really cool! Yeah we have some friends that found a lot of luck with just a custom cli (something Avi did some tests with too), it definitely is a viable approa…

    Thanks for the offer! We'd be open to chatting, want to ping us on our discord?

    Comment #46428230

    LOL it definitely can get a little trippy but it's pretty doable! I can't get to 10 regularly but the space is moving in that direction (more agents in parallel hopefully equals mo…

    Hmm I guess two good questions to check to see if this tool is useful for you is 1) do you use a cli coding agent for the vast majority of your work and 2) are you interested in us…

    Comment #46428112

    Hmm probably out of scope unfortunately as it's a pretty high maintenance burden to support (hg share is not 1:1 with git worktrees), it's possible our sandbox offering may work ou…

    We have the BringYourOwnAgent part! For sandboxes we may try to use just one provider if I had to guess as I'm not sure what the effort would look like to support a bunch of them, …

    Thanks, glad to hear it! Let us know if you have any feedback :)

    Yep, for now that's how we do it! We're looking into remote sandboxes and tunneling soon though :)

    Interesting, I'd love to hear more about this! Were you/they experiencing performance bottlenecks with xterm?

    Thanks, Catnip looks pretty cool! Honestly it's pretty similar, I think ours is a bit more lightweight (it seems they have remote sandboxes where they host their code whereas we ho…
