#42Love the tool! where do i send feedback?
Thank you!
We have a Discord server https://discord.com/invite/f2fv7YxuR2 - but also there is a feedback modal in app that you can use!

#43Could you compare it to other similar software? E.g. Codex App, Conductor, and others? Why your app?
We connect to remote servers via SSH, are provider-agnostic, and open-source. e.g. in Codex you can only run OpenAI models and not Gemini, Amp, you name it. Give it a spin :)

#45Isn’t there vibe kanban?
This is essentially just setting up an MCP connection to your kanban provider and instructing the agent to plan out an epic. I did this this morning for some data modeling our team needed to do. For the most part it generated a good set of tickets, but there were some hallucinations due to ambiguity. Reviewing the already written out tickets was much better than writing them out myself.
But the standard that will hopefully take over in most mature shops is spec driven development where instead of a team reviewing code, they review a spec which is used to generate tasks and subsequently code to satisfy the spec. Then 2 kanban boards exist. One for writing and submitting specs and another for the agents themselves to implement the approved specs.

We could! Do you use them?

#48Wild how quickly developer workflows change. I went from cursor -> claude code CLI -> emdash (mix of claude code and codex now)

#49Gorgeous UI! Will try it out.

Interesting thoughts - thank you! And directionally agree - given that agents are becoming ever better, they'll take more and more of the orchestration on themselves. Still, we believe that developers need an interface to interact with these agents; see their status and review / test their work. Emdash is our approach for building this interface of the future - the ADE :)
> Still, we believe that developers need an interface to interact with these agents; CLIs like claude code equally improve over time. tmux helps running remote sessions like there were local. Why should we invest long time into your „ADE“, really? > see their status and review / test their work Won’t that be addressed eventually by the CLIs themselves? Maybe you’re betting on being purchased by one of the agentic cod…
People use UIs for git despite it working so well in the terminal... Many people I knew at uni doing computer science wouldn’t even know what tmux is. I would bet that the demand for these types of UIs is going to be a lot bigger than the demand for CLI tools like Claude Code. People already rave about cowork and the new codex UI. This falls into the same category.
