#482This sounds like a mashup of of several things I've been playing with lately... - pi-web ( https://pi-web.dev/ ): a web frontend for the Pi coding harness which can multiplex pi sessions across multiple machines - herdr ( https://herdr.dev/ ): a fairly polished agentic multiplexer TUI, can easily spawn or destroy windows based on subagent activity - firstmate ( https://github.com/kunchenguid/firstmate ): a meta envir…
thank you herdr.dev ! it is awesome.
Re: Superlogical
#483why you want to build new terminal multiplexer? Is there issues with current? tmux or zellij? Still very interested. Especially if you will go further than terminal - multiplexer for window environment, not just in terminal
Well neither of those is backed by libghostty. They also aren't native. This multiplexer is a native application on macOS. Hopefully we see a native port for Windows and Linux too.

These tools all assume you have machines to run the agents on. But for parallel agents I'm pretty convinced you want each agent on its own isolated devbox running your dev environment (not e.g. worktrees on one box) - which isn't trivial to set up and manage. I'm working this with https://boxes.dev - a workspace for launching and managing claude + codex sessions, each running in its own cloud devbox. We launched with…
Also the reason why https://exe.dev exists.
no affiliation, just want to say exe.dev is amazing! They got all the primitives right and it’s changed the way I approach starting new projects.

I clicked on the link and read the page, but I still don't have the faintest idea what a "multiplexer for all work" is, or why I want one. The more I read about it, the less I understand about it. Guess I'm not the target audience. At least I know that now, after several minutes of reading and head-scratching. I almost get tmux -- although I still don't understand why it's better than simply opening multiple terminal…
Tmux is good because: 1) sessions stay running if you disconnect 2) window management - you can split your screen, have an octobox a-la redzone style, and focus/unfocus etc. This is based on developing on a remote server - but even locally, I find it invaluable. Multiple terminal windows are fine, but some times you want multiple windows. Even in a pre-ai world, you might want to run a process, see the code, edit, an…
One reason I find it hard to grasp is that when I work on Windows, it's almost always through RDP or VNC. There is never any question of a terminal (or a process launched from it) staying open between login sessions, because it never depended on any particular connection to begin with. It's just there, on the desktop, which might stay up for months before I need to connect to it again. Any terminals or other processes I launch on that system will be there until I close them intentionally, or until Microsoft decides to reboot the system without my permission.
So when I dip my toes into the Linux world, the first thing I do (or rather ask an LLM harness to do, being much less familiar with Linux than I am with Windows) is set up an RDP host. That way I can follow the same basic workflow on both OSes. I don't need to do anything special with terminal windows.
I guess if I were running truly headless systems that don't even have a VGA frame buffer, I'd be more interested in multiplexing. But so far I haven't had to do that, and would probably resist it because a persistent desktop strikes me as better in general than letting applications including terminals worry about their own lifetimes.
Re: Superlogical
#486Wow, that "We're hiring/Career Page" link is geeksmaxxing. First time seeing `ssh superlogical.jobs` would be a way to show job descriptions in terminal!
I recommend 'ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no superlogical.jobs` if you have a public key and want to stay anonymous (beyond revealing your IP). Why? Because if you use SSH to connect to connect to GitHub, your SSH public key is published at https://github.com/ .keys so an SSH server to which you connect could do a reverse lookup. This is the reason why my ~/.ssh/config has those 2 lines at the end: Host * PubkeyAuthen…
Thanks for the tip! Yeah, I think Mitchell Hashimoto (ssh CLI command came from his new company's official site) can be trusted here. If they were doing Github pub key harvesting for analytics though, it would be a interesting tracking pixel equivalent!

I don't understand herdr, can you explain it to me? I've tried it, but I don't understand what it gives me over tmux other than the agent sidebar. But people seem excited about it so I feel like I am missing something.
It workss a lot better for me especially copy paste which was always flakey af for me in tmux no matter what plugin i tried. 2 dimensions of panel amalgamation is suprisingly beneficial to my work flow organization too. The ai m(nitors would be useful if i cared about that. Herdr spreader plugin gives me tmuxp like behavipur especially with the herdinator.sh script currently in issues. Overall a big improvement over tmux without the bloatey slow feeling of zellij

Bun and the Rust pre-release have continued to be open source; the pre-release isn’t exclusive to Claude Code but available to anyone to download and use. There hasn’t been any public motion to indicate they may close source anytime soon. This FUD is so easily fact-checkable that I’m genuinely confused at how it caught on
HN discussions are filled with negative-sentiment AI comments that quickly get upvoted regardless of their connection to reality.
That's what an AI booster would say, yes.

For now I didn't find anything that really works better than using termux on android or echo on ipad, ssh into my desktop with tailscale where I have a tmux session I can attach to. "Input" seems to be the biggest struggle for me versus a normal desktop+keyboard setup. On ipad I use a nuphy bluetooth keyboard which works pretty well and on android I use FUTO Keyboard with voice input. Overall I think I don't even wan…
You can swipe the Termux special ribbon to the left and then get a native text input where dictation etc all work.
Exactly, thats what makes it work with FUTO stt!

I stopped running Claude on the terminal and use only the desktop app now. It had lots of advantages in my opinion. The terminal is really limited unfortunately, don’t know why so many devs still stick to it, and I used it for 30 years.
my main reason: i cannot run agents persistently on a remote host with a desktop app.
