I love your video, it is very clear. I am building in this space so I am very curious and happy about all the products coming in to help the current tooling gap. What is not clear to me is how Async works, is it all local or a mix of local or cloud since I see "executes in cloud" but then I see a download-able app. I see a lot of information on API endpoints in the README. Perhaps that is not so critical to getting s…

To clarify, most of the execution (writing code or researching) is happening on the cloud. And we use Firestore as DB to store tasks. The app (both desktop and mobile) is just interface to talk to those backends. We are currently working to see if we can bring majority of the execution to local. Hope this makes it a bit clearer.

Thanks for the clarification.

Does this mean that my codebase gets cloned somewhere? Is it your compute or mine, with my cloud provider API keys?

If you use the app as is, it will be cloned to our server. If you choose to host your own server, it will be on yours

Sadly, this seems inaccurate. Appears to be Claude Code and GitHub PRs, but not Linear.

It should be Linear, since Linear does an extraordinary number of useful things beyond "issue list".

Since it seems to have nothing to do with Linear, I'm surprised the headline says it it's those three things, by trademarked brand name.

Speaking of tracking tasks:

> Tracking sucks. I use Apple Notes with bullet points to track tasks...

Claude Code seems very good at its own "org mode", using .md file outline and checklists to organize and track progress as well as keep an easy to leverage record.

It is also able to sync the outline level items with GitHub issues, then plan and maintain checklists under them as it works, including the checklist items in commits and PRs, and even help you commit that roadmap outline snapshot at the same time to have progress through time as diffs...

Very cool! I’ve been building an internal tool at work that’s very similar but primarily focused on automatically triaging bugs and tech support issues, with MCP tools to query logs, search for errors in bugsnag, query the db etc. also using linear for issue tracking. They’ve been launching some cool stuff for agent integrations. And sorry I’m a light mode fan

Nice, are you building a linear app? I saw their recent post about integrating cursor, devin, etc into their platform. And, light mode? I'm sorry, we can't be friends anymore

yup was building it as a linear agent https://linear.app/developers/agents

OK thanks.

Thumbs up for dark mode. I really want to love this but I can’t get over the idea of paying GCP to have cloud run clone my repo over and over again every time I interact with Async. I’m still going to try it, but I think I’d rather rent a VM and just have it be faster. This is coming from someone who deals with big fat monorepos, so maybe it’s not that bad for the average user.

I've been planning to build something like this for a while now (just for myself). Love the planning workflow, will likely steal that idea. But code review is more than just reviewing diffs. I need to test the code by actually building and running it. How does that critical step fit in to this workflow? If the async runner stops after it finishes writing code, do I then need to download the PR to my machine, install…

We had exactly the same desire and built it as well, with a nice mobile UI and live app previews. Would love to get your feedback — let me know how to contact you if you’re curious.

I had the opposite reaction, in that it seemed exactly like those three things. Sans the years of development on each but the idea seems really clear. "Build Linear, but the person who does the work is Claude and the 'state' of the work (code) is git (GitHub)"
