AgentGrid▲77Hi HN, I’m Michael, I built AgentGrid with my friend Souren because we were tired of losing our coding sessions and couldn't keep track of what was actually being built across our many projects. Our approach was to use an infinite canvas desktop app for the TUIs we already know and love, mainly claude + codex. We drew inspiration from Figma and Railway. Overtime we added image nodes, notes, terminals, coding editors, source control, etc. I wasn't sure about it at first. It took me a month to give the first version Souren built a real try. What got me was an Apple System Update I've been…

When we asked developers from large engineering teams, almost everyone is using Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot. But adoption is still inconsistent. Some of us would have 15 agents running in Claude Code at the same time; some would still refuse to use any of them and write code manually. There's a fragmented AI development problem: - Five developers building similar features, and all of them start from scratch - No way to share "here's how we prompt AI to follow our architecture" - No trail of how the AI changes were generated - People leave the company, so does the their knowledge Aviator…

Bacon▲4Hi, Im Oscar. So I built Bacon cos like many of you ,I spend a lot of time staring at my terminal(s) waiting for claude code to finish. But first, shout out to Andrew McCalip (@andrewmccalip) who built kickbacks.ai. He came up with the spinner ad and revenue share model, but as a VS code extension. But tbh Id rather not use VS code, so i built the terminal native version as a personal challenge. So Bacon does that, it shows you ads on claude code. There are five surfaces, from least to most intrusive: spinner, statusline, strip, card, and marquee. When an ad shows up, you get a 50% cut of…

Hi HN! I run a few Claude Code sessions in parallel and kept cmd-tabbing around just to find out one of them had been sitting on a permission prompt for ten minutes. There's a hardware gadget I liked (called SidePulse.io) so before waiting to get my shipment I built the software version instead :D I hope you like it and find it useful as I do!
