Nimbalyst open-source visual workspace for ClaudeCode, Codex, OpenCode
We're open sourcing Nimbalyst, a multi-agent, visual workspace for building with Claude Code, Codex, and Opencode (alpha). It pairs parallel session management with WYSIWYG editors so you and your agents can work on the same files at the same time. The core idea: agents edit files, you edit files, and Nimbalyst makes that collaboration legible. Built-in WYSIWYG editors cover markdown, mockups, Excalidraw diagrams, data models, spreadsheets, and code (Monaco). Every edit is tracked back to the session that made it, with red/green WYSIWYG markdown diffs for review and approval. A session…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
We're open sourcing Nimbalyst, a multi-agent, visual workspace for building with Claude Code, Codex, and Opencode (alpha). It pairs parallel session management with WYSIWYG editors so you and your agents can work on the same files at the same time. The core idea: agents edit files, you edit files, and Nimbalyst makes that collaboration legible. Built-in WYSIWYG editors cover markdown, mockups, Excalidraw diagrams, data models, spreadsheets, and code (Monaco). Every edit is tracked back to the session that made it, with red/green WYSIWYG markdown diffs for review and approval. A session Kanban lets you search, resume, and manage parallel runs, and link sessions to files (and back). A lightweight tracker (alpha) keeps plans, bugs, tasks, and custom items in the same workspace the agent is working in — agents create, update, and execute them, and you see the same view they do. The extension system makes any file type pluggable; current extensions include Excalidraw, mind maps, CSV spreadsheets, a data model designer, mockups, PDF viewing, and a SQLite browser, and they're exposed to the agents too. Worktrees, workstreams, visual git management, and agent-driven commit proposals round out the developer side, and an iOS app handles remote session management (Android in development). Currently supports Claude Code, Codex, Opencode (alpha), and Copilot (alpha), with more planned. It's local-first: files stay on your filesystem in open formats (markdown, excalidraw, html). The local app is MIT licensed and free; team collaboration features are AGPL and will be paid. Tech stack: Electron, React, Jotai, PGLite (Postgres in WASM), Lexical, Monaco, Playwright; collaboration runs on Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects. https://github.com/Nimbalyst/nimbalyst https://nimbalyst.com/ We'd love your feedback and contributions.

- NONimbalyst open source Obsidian, Codex app, and Linear for coding agentsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲7
Hi, I'm Karl. Greg and I spent the last year building Nimbalyst, an open-source local desktop workspace for working with coding agents. We want to give agents and humans one place to work together with maximum bandwidth and context, instead of Obsidian for plans, Excalidraw for diagrams, Codex app or Conductor for session management, and Linear for tasks. So we integrated: - Visual editors for markdown, diagrams, mockups, data models, CSV, code, and your own custom extensions - Red/green diff review with per-block accept/reject when an agent makes changes - Session manager with…

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.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

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.
