In plain words

49Agents is a 2D canvas IDE that consolidates issue tracking, code repositories, terminals, notes, and files into a single workspace. Built around the concept of beads tables for organizing issues, it allows developers to view git trees alongside issue tables and other tools simultaneously. The platform supports connecting multiple machines through private networks, enabling distributed team coordination and orchestration of agents across machines.

    Beads tables (Steve Yegge's) for issue tracking. Can view git trees, terminals, issue tables, notes, and files all on one screen. Can connect multiple machines via private network (like tailscale) I had this issue where i really did not like the when i had many terminals open at the same time - when you try to code with 6+ agents at the same time, across, say, 3 projects, you get huge context fragmentation. I am a visual person, and its way easier for me to remember where things are if I placed them there - I build this 2D canvas for myself initially and then decided to open-source - the…

  • Agentastic.dev is Ghostty and Git worktrees = multi-agent CC/Codex IDEJan 2026 · agentastic.dev · ▲11

    I’ve been tinkering with what a “multi-agent IDE” should look like if your day-to-day workflow is mostly in terminal (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, etc.). The more I played with it, the more it collapsed into three fundamentals: * A good TUI: Terminal is the center stage, with other stuff (CodeEdit, Diff, Review) baked on the side. I don’t like piping Agent’s output through some electron wrapper, here you get to run CC/Codex/Droid/Amp/etc directly. * Isolation: agents shouldn’t step on each other’s toes. The simplest primitive I’ve found is Git worktrees. It is not as…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
