Hello folks, sharing my latest open source project, a kanban board with parallel agents. Trying to improve this with more features, I would love your contributions on this repo, with either code contributions or ideas

Just post the GitHub page if it’s open-source. It’s great you have a domain name, but if your website is going to look the same as every other SaaS product designed by Claude it’s really hard to look past that and look at the novelty or benefits of the product.

This is basically what Windsurf is doing right [0]? Ultimately all this UI stuff is just window dressing on top of agents.

You should check out Stripe's dev blog about minions. Seems directionally similar.

This is table-stakes for me to consider adoption of a tool like this.

I don’t see a problem here. Do you?

Also, Linear themselves are also working on this.
