I've been using this for the past few months, and I love it! It's built exactly around my workflow with many worktrees in various repos open at the same time, sometimes with different agents working side-by-side. Before Superset I just used terminal tabs but simply couldn't manage more than like 20 terminal tabs without losing track, so i coudn't scale further. Now i'm running probably 40-50 agent sessions over sever…

Could you elaborate a little on what you are doing with 40-50 agents? I use Claude, I've employed sub-agents, but I still can't wrap my head around how people are using them to that extent.

Confusing name. Superset is already an established analytics tool.

yes, bad choice on my part. the origin was i was planning for it to be a superset of all your dev tools, not thinking about apache superset at all since it was a different domain

I used Superset for quite a while until a month ago. There were some annoying issues, with freezing and terminal not being rendered how it should be. And they did repeated fixes that didn't really solve it. Since I had work to do I moved on. I installed Zellij on my server where most of work is happening and local machine and this works well for me. There are other issues I have now, but overall flow is fairly natura…

sorry to hear about the issue. we really messed up on the performance and balancing that with more features. looking into the imported projects did no projects show up on the sidebar for you?

will continue working bugs and hope you'll give it a try later in the future when the product's more stable :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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, you're signing into our cloud service!

Got you, thanks. So if I don't need those things I can skip the sign-in?

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

We live in this era when folks can vibecode entire startups without ever making a simple Google Search. https://github.com/apache/superset

yeah I was confused coming across this headline - "Huh? Apache Superset is doing a Launch HN?"

Personally, IDE for the agent era is just Linux. Kitty with oh-my-zsh, lazyvim and an agent. The entire thing is an ide. If I need to refactor, query data and interact with the system I just use native tools like rg+fastmod, bash, awk, jq... Either writing myself of asking an agent to do the heavy lifting. Linux in the agent era is a breeze to operate and reason about, so the whole thing becomes a single development…

What I've started to do is to use Zulip. You can have different agents in different chats. You can upload files and you update from your mobile phone. At first I thought it was crazy but it's nice not to have 3 different AI agents running in tmux
