On the one hand, it's good that we're seeing a lot of exploration in this space. On the other, the trend seems to be everyone developing a million disparate tools that largely replicate the same functionality with the primary variation being greater-or-lesser lock-in to a particular set of services.

And then the providers ship a landmark feature or overhaul themselves. Especially as their models advance. Wrappers constantly live in the support and feature parity of today. Anthropic’s Claude Code will look a hell of a lot different a year from now, probably more like an OS for developers and Claude Agent non-tech. Regardless they are eating the stack. Pricing/usage will be very simple - a fixed subscription and w…

This is definitely not how most compute-constrained cloud services end up looking. Your cloud storage provider doesn't charge you a flat rate for 5tb/month of storage, and no amount of financier economics can get Claude there either.

I'm more optimistic. Open source and open weights will eat this whole space.

Training is capital-intensive, yes, but so far it appears that there will always be some entities willing to train models and release them for free. All it takes is a slowdown at the frontier for the open models to catch up.

The money is in the hardware, not the software.

May I know what the other 2 tools are?

If the "on the go" experience is important to you, i.e. you actually want some care and intention put into the phone experience. There are 4 apps I'm aware of:

- Happy Claude Code Client: open source (MIT) effort for a quality mobile app

- Omnara: closed source mobile app, $9/month

- CodeRemote: closed source mobile app, $49/month

- Kisuke: closed source mobile app, private beta, unknown price

If you know of others, I would appreciate a PR to update the table I put together, or just let me know and I'll add it.

There are more more desktop apps, probably because those are easier to design.

As the code generation tools improve, this will only get worse. Having gen ai build a clone of something with some minor differences will become easier and easier.

So, in other words, this is the exact opposite? “Lost of aggregators and forums” meant diversity . Lots of small players doing their own thing. What we have now is a handful of big players, and then tons of small players accessing those services with a different coat of paint. It’s like if the web you mention consi…

> lots of people doing alternative interfaces to access Facebook and Reddit. So… what we had on web 2 then, with its daily twitter clients? There were hundreds and hundreds of them

Twitter wasn’t nearly as big or influential, that comparison doesn’t hold. Furthermore, I was replying directly to the reference of “lots of aggregators and forums instead of "Reddit and others."”, which obviously excludes Twitter as part of the “others”.

Personally I like the UI for https://conductor.build/ a lot more than this, although I'll have to give it a try. I see a lot of commenters asking why a GUI is necessary. When you're running several agents in parallel it becomes very handy compared to the terminal. I can easily see the status of each which I haven't found a good equivalent for when using terminal tabs. Also it handles automatically creating git worktr…

Try not using tabs, that's my recommendation.

You can tile terminals, you can use things like tmux to insert multiple command lines into one window, etc.
