    Tmux, nvim, opencode + a load of custom scripts and skills is all I need. I cringe every time I see some colleague daddle around with sth like this or copilot trying to phrase a prompt what should be just a git command. But I might just not be the target audience.

      Exactly. Mine is Ghostty + Kakoune + Nushell sprinkled with Apple Script

        Can hardly imagine my life without now:

            gtty surface siblings --action auto-accept --keep-alive --offset -1
        
        which accepts first agent's choice and keep `caffeinate` running until ctrl-c. `--offset` has super nice tab autocomplete.

      I struggle to imagine having a harness that isn't open source. Maybe one that had a really really really strong plugin system?

      But: I want to be able to do some adjustments and scripting of my harness! If all the places to forefit your agency and use some closed proprietary system, I cannot imagine compromising on my harness! My gracious. This is the seat of my agency & there's no way I'm going to yield that up, give that over to some closed solution someone else hands me!

      (I also do recommend DIY though, find a good base!)

        Would love to hear what features you would like to see added for your workflow.

        We would definitely like to support a more modular/extensible UI soon. However, the UI is currently pretty unopinionated and supports most users’ workflows.

    given that all your competitors in this space are open source, hard to make the case against it

    if you have any special tricks, probably don't worry too much about getting copied if you really want to win in the "devs who care about performance" market

    [did i miss the gh repo?]

    Wouldn't "AIDE" be more skimmable? Took me a while to figure out you probably mean something like "agentic development environment" because I couldn't find a definition of the acronym anywhere.

    so i looked at the downloaded bundle, in fact it is running CLIs in the background and just an agent orchestrator in the front? so it is in fact running on our agent accounts locally? am i being too old not knowing all these stuff happening, this is a cool approach actually.

    Whiel I'm not a big fan of Theo's, how is this different from t3-code?

    That, im sorry to say, seems to be one of the best opensource apps doing this sort of thing.

    • gpt-7 a day ago

      Much improved UI/UX

      And a lot more to come soon!

    Tangential question: is getting try/use<something>.com gets an auto boost from HN?

    • paaloeye 2 days ago

      Or is it a Rust boost?

  • paaloeye 2 days ago

    If target audience is running loads of agent, I don't have those agents wouldn't do a better job. Instead of waiting for an update, you'll get all you need with one or two rebuilds lead time.

    You don't even have to use GPUI or Rust.

    These days you can just make your own? I can strongly recommend everyone just build their own personal tool...

    Or am I missing something?

    Here is my personal, Rust based, ultra-fast ADE. Feel to fork an make it your own:

    Thank you for all the downloads!

    We will soon be adding support for orchestrating multiple agents and working with cloud machines from providers like Daytona

    - Palomino Team

      Not sure about the pronouns and pluralisation here.

  • jcelerier 2 days ago

    how does it compare to https://herdr.dev/ ?

    • gpt-7 2 days ago

      A lot of our users love the UI, which we’ve spent a lot of time working on!

      In addition to terminals, Palomino lets you create tiles for browsers, simulators, and agent chats.

      Also coming soon. We also are looking at cloud machines and remote machine management in the app.

  • gpt-7 2 days ago

    Excited to show Palomino, our GPUI based ADE!

    Palomino is very fast and lightweight

    A lot more is coming soon and we appreciate all feedback!

    • paaloeye 2 days ago

      Does it use libghostty-vt?

  • gpt-7 2 days ago

    We are pushing some changes in the next hour.

    Update using Cmd K -> check for updates
