Oh, I love the idea of a changes walkthrough. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I still look through all the code and prose that gets committed. In Orca, it took me about half an hour to even find the diff view (hidden behind a panel, activated on the top right)

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it: the churn in new dev interfaces it's super exciting. Can't wait to see what next week brings.

I'm using Orca recently for both coding and as a terminal and like it a lot, seems this is very similar, just tied to a single harness?

Orca is my main ADE too, but I haven't found any other users!

What do you when done with a work tree? Just delete? I wish there was a middle ground of hiding it from the main panel, but keeping it for a week or so just in case I need to refer to something in the transcript...

This looks very nice and well done. Good job! Okay, I'm going to have a tongue-in-cheek rant now. OpenChamber, OpenAI, Open WebUI, OpenDoor, Open weights, OpenTable, OpenClaw, Open This, Open That. We're increasingly diluting the meaning of the term, and "open source" more broadly, that we're at the point of OpenFatigue being a real concern here.

Don‘t forget Open Closed.

Why not?

Both codex and Claude have remote from phone. I’m personally using cli + terminal from phone.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

You can also use it as a plain old chat client. I prefer it over OpenWebui because I can actually carry over my OpenCode configuration, which has specialized subagent definitions (for example, the "research" agent fires off a bunch of "web search" agents that use a cheap model to fetch and summarize, and the more capable "research" agent pulls it all together, decides if more search effort is necessary, etc.). So I can VPN into my home network and boom, self-hosted chat interface that's more capable than what you can (easily) do in OpenWebui.
