Maxxwell – The IDE for Optimal Tokenmaxxing
Run your coding agents in one workspace. Maxxwell helps you follow their progress, coordinate their work, and focus on what needs your attention.
Maxxwell – The IDE for Optimal Tokenmaxxing launched on September 9, 2026 with 11 votes, #956 of 8,097 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Maxxwell is an IDE that manages multiple coding agents in a single workspace, allowing developers to monitor progress and coordinate work without switching between terminals. It consolidates agent status, questions, and blockers into one interface and includes token management features to optimize agent performance. The platform works with existing coding tools like Claude Code and is designed for users running numerous agents simultaneously.

From the sources
Run a dozen coding agents at once. Maxxwell keeps each one moving for you and brings you only what truly needs your attention . More agents should mean more progress, not more windows to watch. See what each agent is doing and give your managing agent the context to steer it back. See when a session is filling up and compact it with one click. Review questions and blockers in one place instead of checking every terminal. See who is working, who has gone quiet, and who needs an answer. Open any session to pick up the conversation. Run the coding tools you already use, including Claude Code and Codex. Add a managing agent to coordinate the work, with every session visible in Maxxwell. See…from maxxwell.dev

Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDEMar 2026 · tmux.thijsverreck.com · ▲88Hey HN, Small OSS project that i created for myself and want to share with the community. It's a declarative, scriptable, terminal-based IDE focussed on agentic engineering. That's a lot of jargon, but essentially its a multi-agent IDE that you start in your terminal. Why is that relevant? Thanks to tmux and SSH, it means that you have a really simple and efficient way to create your own always-on coding setup. Boot into your IDE through ssh, give a prompt to claude and close off your machine. In tmux-ide claude will keep working. The tool is intentionally really lightweight, because I think…

Boxes.devJun 2026 · boxes.dev · ▲112Hi HN, we’re Nick and Drew, and we’re building boxes.dev – the first cloud-only agentic dev environment (ADE) that gives every Codex and Claude Code agent its own cloud computer. We’re two engineers who previously built Gem (co-founder/CTO and first hire), and we spent the last year coding almost exclusively using Codex and Claude Code. It’s been a huge change to how we code, and it’s been exhilarating seeing the models keep getting better – but we eventually realized that developing on localhost was holding us back: - Git worktrees are clunky to set up and use for parallelizing work -…
20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲53Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…
