So this is basically a wrapper over the existing agents from differnt vendors? Just poke it a bit and find for codex it use app server protocol too > Not backed by Y Combinator This is humor, isn't it?

yeah it's basically an alternative GUI for Codex CLI and other clis, I built this because I got frustrated with those Electron Apps performance

I don't understand what is the value of this tool, can you elaborate?

1. better performance than those electron apps 2. a unified app for all the coding agents meaning I don't need to constantly switch between multiple apps 3. I like Codex's computer use so I want to bring it to other agents too (although this feature is not fully implemented yet)

GPUI is going to be react for Rust ecosystem. Everyone seems to be on Rust & GPUI bandwagon these days. I've built something similar using Expo. That's the stack that I'm most familiar with and surprisingly the performance of the app is pretty good. Still ironing our few edge cases, but would like to benchmark again Waku. https://github.com/pounce-ai/pounce
