What it does

Bentomux is a calm desktop app for running coding agents side by side: project workspaces, persistent split-pane terminals, live agent state and approvals.

Bentomux is one native window for project workspaces, persistent split-pane terminals, live agent state and approval handling instead of a scatter of terminal tabs. A workspace keeps its layout, its tabs and its split panes, and every pane holds a real PTY with its scrollback. Quit the app, restart the machine, come back to the same window instead of rebuilding it. Every tab reports whether its agent is idle, working or blocked, read from the process and the terminal screen. When one is waiting on you the window says so, and the state is a word as well as a colour. Permission prompts are caught by the hook bridge and raised in an always-on-top overlay, so an agent asking a question never…from bentomux.takora.dev

  • Warp, a Rust-based terminal2022 · warp.dev · ▲946

    Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…

  • Talanoa▲337

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
