I built a native app for coding agents with Rust and GPUI
A fast, native app for local coding agents. Amp, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok, and Pi — one timeline, entirely on your machine.
In plain words
Waku is a native desktop application built with Rust and GPUI that unifies multiple coding agents in a single interface. It manages sessions, transcripts, and tool activity from agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Grok in one timeline, running entirely locally on the user's machine. The app uses GPU-accelerated rendering for fast performance and enables users to checkpoint their working tree and roll back both code and conversations together.

From the sources
Waku drives the agent CLIs you already have — sessions, transcripts, tool activity, and checkpoints in one fast graphite window, entirely on your machine. Why native Native down to the frame Rust and GPUI — the GPU-accelerated framework behind Zed. Instant launch, smooth scrolling through years of transcript, no Electron. Each agent is connected over its strongest native interface — stream-json, JSON-RPC, live events — and normalized into one provider-neutral model. Every prompt checkpoints your working tree under a hidden git ref. Roll back the code and the provider conversation together, not just the chat log. ⌘N starts a session, ⏎ queues a follow-up while the agent works, ⌘⏎ steers it…from waku.sh

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
