Launch HN: Spine Swarm (YC S23) – AI agents that collaborate on a visual canvas

Really appreciate the detailed feedback and questions! And yes, we'll take the website criticism as a compliment :)

Good callout on the canvas navigation, we'll look into middle mouse button support.

To answer your questions: 1) GitHub integration is on our roadmap. Right now you can export outputs manually but we want to make this seamless. 2) All your canvases are saved and you can search them by name in your dashboard. We're also working on a dedicated section for deliverables across canvases. 3) Yes to both! You can manually add or edit blocks, or kick off new agent runs that build on existing work. 4) You can currently only share public links of your canvas to others (but you can make it private at any point). We are testing out a teams feature which allows you to share canvases with members on your team securely. Beyond that, we are working on adding roles and email-based sharing controls which is in our roadmap. 5) Claude Code in a block is a really interesting idea. We don't support that today but we're thinking about computer use and coding workflows. 6)BYOK (bring your own keys) is something we've heard interest in and are considering. Self-hosting isn't available right now, though we do support private deployments for enterprise customers if that's ever relevant. 7) Love the 'preferred web browser' framing. Right now you can search canvases but searchable artifacts across canvases is definitely where we want to head.

Thanks for giving it a real spin, this kind of feedback is incredibly valuable.

I have not seen my final report yet for my query around machinist.com. However I would like to say my initial impression is very positive. At least in terms of the digestion of my somewhat nebulous request. I like the way your app was able to burrow down to pain points I have experienced and am trying to work out in terms of product market fit for the domain. I look forward to exploring more and giving you more feedback when I see the final report. I will also add that I am looking forward to using your product to explore other opportunities that I'm sure are out there in this age of AI.

Great framing. You're right that context fragility is a big part of it. The canvas helps because each block maintains its own context explicitly, and connected blocks pass context between blocks without polluting the agents' context windows.

On conflict resolution, the synthesizer block can see all upstream outputs, so it has full visibility into any divergence. It does surface contradictions to the user, though this is something we're constantly improving.

This is great to hear, thank you! Would love to hear your thoughts once you see your final report and explore some of those other opportunities.
