This 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…

I’m tracking them all here[0] The first app in this space was VibeTunnel[1]. It basically lets you start terminals on your Mac and the web app allows you to control these terminals on your iPhone using Tailscale. In the end, it’s just terminals on the web with organization around it. I forked VibeTunnel and turned it into a Next app and added workspaces with memory and turned it into a software factory which is makin…

I'll add a few more to your list that I've been trying (not associated with either):

- Paseo (https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo)

- t3code (https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code)

I rely on tmux, sway, and AeroSpace for my daily life, so I think multiplexers are important. It's just that they're currently fragmented, and with Chrome, we have so many tools for organizing tabs and split-screen now. It would be great if Superlogical could solve all of this.

The actual header on the page is > We are building the multiplexer for all work. imo this would have been a better way to do the HN submission title (with or without [terminal]) > Superlogical: We are building the [terminal] multiplexer for all work

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…

If you're using Windows you're likely not the audience. Which is fine.

Flashback to when Mitchell first introduce Vagrant [1] to HN, which of course was the how everything from HashiCorp started. I thought it was't that long ago, may be 8, or at best 10-12 years. Turns out 16 years has passed. Curious if it would be another project using Zig. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1175901

They hire for Go.

It would be pretty odd right now to be hiring people with "Zig experience".

Mitch said he doesn't like go since they added generics. I checked the available jobs and they are hiring Typescript for web, Go for infrastructure,systems, Objective-C, swift for Apple I dig the ssh jobs page, UX is very good.

Yes and they don't mention any language at all for Windows. Just "native", which is pretty much a philosophical question for that platform. I guess that means the founders have all avoided that platform their entire lives - which makes perfect sense but it means they have to trust their first engineering hire to make every consequential decision. Personally I'd recommend they hire someone who has done native windows…

Zig has bindings for Win32, etc., so a competent Windows developer should be as comfortable using that as C, C++, or whatever else people write Windows programs in these days. (At some point, it was intended that Windows programs would be written in Pascal, but that never caught on.)

Most of the time when I need to touch a Windows program I'm dealing with the Telegram desktop client which is C++ and a mixture of Qt and "native" Windows. (Well, that, and when I have to touch an ancient C# code base which requires doing the equivalent of archeology in order to get all of its dependent libraries to work.)

I've spend the last ~20 years inside tmux/vim — and the last month almost exclusively in the Codex desktop app, and increasingly am just doing remote control from the ChatGPT app on my phone. Ghostty rocks and it brings me no pleasure to say this, but it seems unclear how much longer this world will exist?

Their intention is to let you live inside, well, Superlogical which can run on your Mac or Windows desktop, and, eventually, on your phone, too.

I still regularly need to edit text files and use nvim for that. Sometimes I even use it to edit a prompt. I like to prompt my system by writing .md files to help get through the planning phase, and then I like to edit the generated todo list.

It's built for ai agents, tmux works but isn't designed for an ai workflow. Herdr is also very well thought out, not just the design/approach but also the interaction and mouse support, responsive support, etc. I had been using tmux, switched and haven't looked back.

I'm sorry but I am still confused. What specifically does herdr give me over tmux? "It is designed for agents" is just marketing speech, it means nothing. Ok, it has mouse support, fine, I don't care about that one but I can see how it's useful to some people. That has nothing to do with agents though. zellij also has a better user experience than tmux, so you could just use that or any of the other dozen multiplexer…

IME yes that’s basically it. Other features haven’t really been significant value add for me. Some of the keybindings are different in minor ways. It has some mouse support but I have found that it doesn’t work well with certain apps/selections (eg: less).

It’s fine.

When running many agents something like the “idle/working workstreams” gutter is honestly helpful though.
