Ask HN: GUI or TUI for Coding Harness?
There's alot of debate right now between GUI vs TUI (ex: Claude Desktop vs. Claude Code).I know some (Zed), have tried to bridge the gap with ACP, but for me that's always fallen a bit short.What's your view?

Crossing my fingers for a more official libghostty soon for the web! I know Hashimoto is working on it.
I also actually tried cmux, but I didn't like they way it did tabs. I like my tabs top-level and not inside panes (but I realize this is a personal choice).
We also do good GH native integrations (linking PRs, showing statuses, and linking GH issues). We also do AI status indicator even for non-focused terminal panes. You can also manually mark a worktree as 'unread' (kind of like a star in Gmail) In addition Orca has a built in file viewer, search, git diff viewer (see all changes like VsCode does)
Also cmux is Mac only (doesn't matter for you, but for others)
So tl;dr -- alot of small things. But those build up for me in a tool that I basically find myself living in

Our team works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini all day. We love Ghostty, but wanted something where we could work in multiple worktree at once and have multiple agents run.We decided to open source the internal team we use. Hope you might find it useful. Freel free to contribute or fork. * Cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Windows) all tested * MIT License Features: * Notifications, but also...
For UNREAD messages... Sadly, I'm not sure that Slack has an official API for that. There may be an "unofficial" API there that we could discover, but I'm hesitant for adding support there. With that being said, it's not that I wouldn't entertain the idea (it would be REALLY useful) but it would require a bit more thought.
But I will add a flag to do for `slack message read/list`, since it makes sense.
* Can paste in Slack URLs
* Token efficient
* Zero-config (auto auth if you use Slack Desktop)
Auto downloads files/snippets.
Also can read Slack canvases as markdown!MIT License
