Why support each agent individually instead of using ACP and get much better agent coverage?
ACP is pretty much dead for Claude subscription usage
Launch HN: Superset (YC P26) – IDE for the agents era

Re: Launch HN: Superset (YC P26) – IDE for the agents era
#72I was looking exactly for something like that. I tried installing the Linux version and it runs but:
1. it's behind a login wall | 2. tries to download its own OpenCode instead of using the one installed on my machine
I also tried to create a new workspace. It asked what I want to do. I tried with "create user accounts", and it proceeded to create the git worktree (without asking for its name) and sent that prompt straight to OpenCode without allowing me to choose the LLM model.
I plaud the effort - I really do - but it doesn't really seems a great experience for now.

#73Personally, 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
I am looking for something similar. Any tutorial or resource on how to set up things?

#74can you make Superset work on folders that aren't git repositories?

#75At first glance, it looks similar to Conductor ( https://www.conductor.build/ ). It seems like a lot of these tools are converging on the same general ideas. Could you share a comparison with the other tools out there?
Note that Anthropic specifically called out that usage through Conductor will be metered as "programmatic usage" in their June 15th pricing change: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48126438
My colleagues are planning to get around this by using Conductor's big terminal mode. At which point I think it's basically just a git worktree manager?

#76No linear integration in free version and taxing it 20$/m is a bit steep.
That's fair! We do have more paid features (a slack integration, remote workspaces etc.) but yeah we haven't found the best balance for which tier to put each in for sure.
Anyways great work and piece of nice software

#78Sadly there are so few solutions, if even one, that is trying to offer a real remote agent interaction.
That's why I've build my own. No IDE per se rather than a discord bridge, with all interaction possibilities that makes sense and a way for my agent to quickly send me files or host mockups. My usecase is to build tools, reports, do research, mock up ideas and build prototypes. That's why I don't need to see the code that was written.

#79That still is not it for me, for now iTerm2 tabs / tmux is plenty. This, or tools like Warp, feel so heavy for me and I get overwhelmed.
The Codex/Antigravity desktop app alternate route feels more like the direction I can buy into it, but I still feel like there's room for another novel UX not yet done.
Perhaps the biggest thing I feel like I wish existed is a "Scratchpad" mode inside a session, Claude recently came up with `/btw` and it's been really useful. Same with `!` for terminal commands within session.
Nested thinking spaces within a chat window UX is a very tricky thing to reason about.

#80I'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.
ha, I didn't mean they are all running at the same time. sorry if it sounded like this.
I open a new worktree/agent session for each new feature or bugfix. Usually I start with ideation and brainstorming before doing the actual implementation. However my priorities shift daily, so I could be starting a feature on monday, but then stop during the ideation already, pick up another task on tuesday and won't go back to the initial one until a week or a month later. Since I got it in a neat worktree in superset, I still see my open branches easily, have access to its claude code session and can resume the work much easier than before having terminal tabs.
Because of this setup I currently have 17 backend sessions, 25 frontend sessions, plus several other repos open and ready, when i need to.
