RunKit is a browser based tmux manager that works great on a phone over Tailscale. I created it to be able to run several AI agents in parallel, after trying out several existing tools. There's no database (state is read live from tmux). Right now, its the first thing I install on any server, and from there on RunKit becomes the management cock-pit for that server. Also, for running several agents in parallel, RunKit has been a lifesaver. It shows the status of all running agent on the left panel, and sends you a notification anytime an agent is stuck. Please try it out, and let me know if…

Hi HN! I’m Tony, one of the co-founders of Inngest (https://inngest.com/). Wanted to show you something we’re working on: StepKit. StepKit is an open source SDK and framework for building and iterating on durable workflows that run on any platform (self-hosted, Inngest, Cloudflare, Netlify, etc.) without requiring any provider or bundler-specific code. Here’s the repo: https://github.com/inngest/stepkit. StepKit extracts the core execution loop that we built in Inngest and makes it fully open, Apache 2, and hackable/pluggable to different backends.

Hi HN — I’m learning Rust and decided to build a universal CLI for running code in many languages. The tool, Run, aims to be a single, minimal dependency utility for: running one-off snippets (from CLI flags), running files, reading and executing piped stdin, and providing language-specific REPLs that you can switch between interactively. I designed it to support both interpreted languages (Python, JS, Ruby, etc.) and compiled languages (Rust, Go, C/C++). It detects languages from flags or file extensions, can compile temporary files for compiled languages, and exposes a unified REPL…
