What HN said
What people liked
Clean UI and good design.
From 2 comments
UI is clean. could install in Mac. Adding context files at the top is clean. It worked. Currently I use zed, vscode (for UI). along with claude, codex, Hermes. Not sure If I will…
prabhanjana_c on HNThis is really nice, thanks for sharing! If you don't mind a little feature request, I'd love to have a "thinking level" selector on the GUI for models that have it. I really…

Tree and subthread structure is a novel idea.
From 2 comments
This looks really interesting and a unique take on the AI agent orchestration. I think we need a bunch of experiments in this area as it's clear we are entering a new paradigm…
robbomacrae on HNThis looks nice, and I like the more opinionated take on how "communicating" with an agent should work. The post talks a lot about what this is and how it works. I'm curious,…

For running headless is it possible to not require installing libwebkitgtk-6.0.so.4
LeSaucy on HNSeems to work when I click the juggler.app in Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) GNOME's desktop. Running same app via terminal does not launch the app. Appear to be a sandbox issue…

Limited provider list, no custom provider management for BYOK.
From 1 comment
Sorry but it's not real BYOK to me as there is no UI/method provided to modify the providers, instead the app provides limited provider list and only allow custom API keys. I…

Provider API bugs such as DeepSeek reasoning_content error.

Having now given it a quick spin, I like the UI concept and could definitely see myself working with this. I ran into a bug(?) almost immediately though, I hooked up Deepseek 4…

Requests
Support for ACP.
From 2 comments
ACP support would be a big deal and would make this a real contender for me. It looks super nice, but the idea of re-writing my Pi plugins is a real blocker. I’m generally happy…
everforward on HNIs this using ACP?

Does it work with an Anthropic key or Claude Agent SDK login?
From 2 comments
Nicely done! Would you consider adding an Agent SDK login for Claude for those who don't have an API budget and want to avoid potential issues with Anthropic's capricious…

prabhanjana_c on HNGreat work, it is very funny that I did just the opposite :) Got fed up with Zed, Cursor, and the other GUI agentic tools and created a console TUI agent for my own use.
