I've been using this for the past few months, and I love it! It's built exactly around my workflow with many worktrees in various repos open at the same time, sometimes with different agents working side-by-side. Before Superset I just used terminal tabs but simply couldn't manage more than like 20 terminal tabs without losing track, so i coudn't scale further. Now i'm running probably 40-50 agent sessions over several repos simultaneously without any issues and losing track! Keep up the good work guys!

awesome to hear this! 40-50 is definitely on the high end. Are you adding any workflow on top to manage that many?

just gstack which comes with shared memory, so each session has access to another's state if needed.

ah very interesting will have to give gstack another try

one issue i'm having, maybe you know what's causing this, in long running terminal sessions I'm getting rendering issues. Like some characters show as something else. I have to resize the window to fix it, usually opening and closing the code sidebar fixes it for some time, but it never fully goes away. I think i also have it more on the big screen (4k) than on the laptop screen.

Could you elaborate a little on what you are doing with 40-50 agents? I use Claude, I've employed sub-agents, but I still can't wrap my head around how people are using them to that extent.

ha, I didn't mean they are all running at the same time. sorry if it sounded like this. I open a new worktree/agent session for each new feature or bugfix. Usually I start with ideation and brainstorming before doing the actual implementation. However my priorities shift daily, so I could be starting a feature on monday, but then stop during the ideation already, pick up another task on tuesday and won't go back to the initial one until a week or a month later. Since I got it in a neat worktree in superset, I still see my open branches easily, have access to its claude code session and can resume the work much easier than before having terminal tabs. Because of this setup I currently have 17 backend sessions, 25 frontend sessions, plus several other repos open and ready, when i need to.

Ahh got it, thanks. That makes a lot more sense -- indeed I thought you had 40 active, parallel sessions!
