VSCode was my daily driver for years, but once I started running several coding agents across multiple projects at the same time, it got in the way. One workspace with terminals in the bottom tray, no idea which agent was doing what and I found myself needing all the code editing tools less and less. So I built my own IDE around that workflow. Terminals are a first-class citizen, every project stays alive in the background with visual statuses. Close the workspace and come back weeks later, everything is still in its place. I've been using it for weeks and it's a big productivity boost. The…

Mike, cofounder of DevSwarm here. I’ve been using Claude Code heavily for the last few months (multiple Max plans). Running sessions in parallel across git branches or worktrees is fast, but it breaks down quickly in practice because of sprawl. Terminals everywhere, editor windows everywhere, and you lose track of basics like which agent is on which branch and what is ready for review. DevSwarm is what we built to solve that. The core abstraction is simple: workspace equals branch. Each workspace runs its agent session(s) and keeps the state visible. In 2.0 we added a full VS Code IDE…

Hey HN, Lich is a worktree aware local dev stack orchestrator. Simply put, it allows you to run multiple copies of your development stack from different worktrees with different code in parallel without going insane. I built Lich because I’ve found myself increasingly using multiple parallel coding agents for development work. I wanted my coding agents to each have independent copies of my development stack to be able to test and validate their own work well. I found that trying to do this totally broke the way I have normally setup tooling for local development. Ports conflict, the UI from…

I built CodeBeam to solve two core developer frustrations: constant context-switching between browser and IDE, and the tedious process of dealing with errors across different languages and frameworks. What makes CodeBeam different is its universal adaptability. It watches your clipboard with customizable directives for automatic file operations, while simultaneously monitoring your logs for errors using pattern-based detection that works with any language or framework. When it spots an error, it automatically generates AI-ready prompts with rich context, making debugging significantly…
