Thanks. I don’t get it either tbh. I’ve basically stopped posting here because of it.


Thanks! The site explains it:

:) reminds me of a contemporary: assembler.org


What’s the purpose of this nasty comment?


I love TUIs and spent some time exploring the project. I guess you posted it here to hear some feedback.

The landing page compares it to xtermjs as superior version. What I find strange, for example, FrankenTUI has a code explorer tab, but it's impossible to select any text or interact with a scrollbar. The "hotspots" section in the codeview misinterprets mouse clicks, highlighting line that is different from a click.

If it meant to be keyboard-first, I find focus management implementation unintuitive and shortcuts hard to discover.


I find this to be a bizarre sentiment. It’s an artifact that exists. The chances of me making this by hand are 0. This would be a full time job for 3 years to research and build this. For 10 people. And it would have to charge a ton of money to access in that case.

No it wouldn't.


Look at the commit history. I’ve been working on this essentially every single day for over a month.


Thank you, I was scrolling and scrolling in utter disbelief. It sounds absolutely dreadful. Would drive me nuts to listen to for more than a minute.


I really think git worktrees are a bad approach. You’re better off in my view with one shared state and dealing with conflicts live by dividing tasks ahead of time using beads and letting agents communicate with each other using Agent Mail and file reservations.

I’ve been able to productively run 12+ agents from CC, Codex, Gemini-cli at the same time this way and it works really well.


That's a pretty interesting approach, would love to see a demo of your setup :) my email is avi@superset.sh if you're down to chat!


I recorded this around a month ago, which is funny because it's already pretty obsolete since my tooling has advanced so much since then:

Thanks, this is cool!


This sure looks similar to something I posted on X 2 weeks ago:

You be the judge:

I can't believe you're accusing someone of plagiarism because they had a similar idea that "claude code would be safer if it couldn't do destructive git calls". They also added much more protection, implemented it as a plugin, wrote thorough docs and have shipped many updates since.

You wrote a markdown file. Shut up.

My analysis: https://x.com/theo/status/2006474140082122755


lol, was wondering why I didn’t see your brain dead reply, and it’s because I’ve had you muted for years.


Wow this readme reads so similar it rather unlikely a coincidence?


Yeah, I was being polite. This is outright plagiarism. @dang


"License: This repository contains documentation and configuration files. Use freely for personal or commercial projects."


You really think that's the same as someone blatantly plagiarizing the work and passing it off as their own? Give me a break. This is dishonest and odious.


"Someone" is a big assumption these days. What if it was an AI agent just poking in its own source code?


Its not about what I think, thats what the license says.


OK thanks for your input.


Definitely too similar to be a coincidence


Sure does.


I did something similar except mine is fully open source and works way better:

I had a striking realization recently that has helped me improve my project. What matters isn’t what I think, it’s what the users which actually use the system think. Which is sort of obvious but somehow less so when the users are AI agents…


“You’re so right and those tools look really good.”

Is there value is this considering how they’re trained to be agreeable and have no real reasoning or proper discernment?


If the tool sucked, they would not be saying that. I’ve tried. Also they did give some negative feedback and it has already been used to improve the system.
