The website is a little too obviously made by Claude. The first thing I noticed is the classic "pill with pulsing green dot that says something is active or live" claudism.

"site made by ai" is the new "bootstrap template" criticism that honestly gets tiring after a while. just read the content.

And the site is actually quite cool I believe , I put a lot of efforts in the design.

Congrats on the launch. If emacs was unavailable and I needed tmux, I would try it. I am old school, and use emacs daemons for all shell multiplexing. The agents dont need explanations and know how to use emacsclient to create, read, or send inputs to named buffers that run the shells. Elisp is powerful, so manipulating windows is a breeze. Lots of people on tmux would benefit from this design though.

Are there any guides on accomplishing this with Emacs? Perhaps something that might be useful for someone coming from Tmux?

If there’s anything I don’t mind being done with AI, it’s a product landing page. There are only so many ways to creatively design one, so who cares how it was made?

The video of the front page is assisted by AI, I am not a vfx artist; please check rmux code architecture instead, I put a lot of efforts on it

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think the big AI standout (not your fault) is the classic GenAI lightning that behaves more like a weird viscous liquid. Another one I see a lot is the number of avian creatures flapping their wings with all the subtlety and grace of an ornithopter going in reverse.

Feedback

Your site needs some work on the responsiveness. At around 1200 pixels width on my browser, half of the video just gets cut off. It just doesn't scale correctly.

I’m genuinely interested in what you find to be the problem with that? It’s a landing page.

The usual answer is some handwavy nonsense about "well if you were too lazy to write the text, why should I read it?" said by the same people too lazy to write the code...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I started using cmux a month ago and it had made my life a lot easier. Finally I have a pane with all my projects open all the time, I can switch between them, have multiple terminals for each one. What do you mean by remote terminals?

my plan is to eventually move my entire workflow to a remote workmachine over ssh. with kernal, I can automate all my smoketests entirely from a headless machine rendering my laptop overkill to run agentic workflows. I'd rather be using it to watch movies, learn new stuff or hand code in my downtime. if your workflow requires cmux, you're stuck running your agents on your local machine. To be clear, That doesn't make…

Exactly, the whole point of having a laptop is that you can close it at some point. Once you move to these newfangled workflows it is all gone. That is why I have been slow on uptake with all these new apps they are releasing like Codex GUI and Claude GUI and all that stuff. I like that work continues when I close my laptop, but also I like that it continues on my hardware, not somewhere in the cloud being a supply chain attacked by who knows what.
