Show HN: Visual Workspace for Agents Based on Unix

https://www.prototyper.co

Hey HN,Thijs here! I'm the founder of Prototyper and today we're launching the first visual canvas built for agents.Couple of interesting lessons from building the product that I think are worth sharing:For the agents, everything is a file. In Prototyper, everything from plans, to apps, and diagrams, can be read as a file.We found that a filesystem is the most natural way for an agent to...

Good points and indeed thinking about this quite a bit. Currently leaning towards a CLI first approach so that Claude/Cursor/[insert coding agent] can configure and control the ide. Feels a bit meta, but also makes it extremely user-friendly.
Re:Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @04:42PM (#47431197)
Both are supported! You can customize the startup command in ide.yml. I will update the docs to highlight that :)

if you want you can file an issue with your current workflow? happy to see if we can do a PR to support this natively in tmux-ide
Re:Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @03:56PM (#47430654)
both ish and termux are great options on mobile/iPad!
Re:Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @03:56PM (#47430647)
yup core to this project!
Re:Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @03:55PM (#47430641)
most surprising was that something this lightweight made such a big impact on my productivity. its really nice to have persistent Claude teams on my remote machines that I can always access no matter what.
Re:Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @03:54PM (#47430629)
I love cmux! ironically you can use tmux-ide within cmux. The idea is to make it an agent development environment that's great when ran on a remote machine :).

Show HN: Tmux-IDE, OSS agent-first terminal IDE

https://tmux.thijsverreck.com

Hey 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...

Show HN: Rm-MCP – Give Claude/OpenClaw access to your reMarkable tablet

https://github.com/wavyrai/rm-mcp

I take notes, and draft designs on a reMarkable tablet and wanted Claude to be able to reference them while I code.So I built an Open Source MCP server that connects to the reMarkable Cloud API and gives AI assistants (Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc) read-only access to your entire library.What it does:- Read notebooks, PDFs, and ebooks with full text extraction - Full-text search across your...

Hey HN! :)

I've been building with AI coding tools for about two years and kept hitting the same problem: every session starts fresh. You explain your project, build something, close the laptop, then do it all again tomorrow.

Tried fixing it with better prompts. Didn't help. The issue was organizational, not instructional.

So I made three folders: context (reference files), plans (numbered prompts for multi-session work), and messages (agent coordination). No plugins, no infra, just markdown files.

It's simple but it changed how much I actually ship. Open sourced it in case others have the same problem.

This is actually quite nice!
Re:Le Chat. Custom MCP Connectors. Memories on Thursday September 04, 2025 @07:46AM (#45126199)
Any chance at fixing it with regex parsing or redoing inference when the results are below a certain treshold?

Show HN: Prototyper - the fastest AI software design platform

https://www.getaprototype.com/

Hi HN,I’ve been working the past year on something called Prototyper , and today we’re opening up the new version.The motivation is simple: whenever I built products in the past, I noticed the best ideas came after the “first version.” You try something, it feels wrong, you change it, repeat. Most tools make that painful. Prototyper is my attempt to make that loop natural—so you can explore...

Show HN: I created Frodo, OSS private Llama 3 chatbot in browser

https://frodo-chi.vercel.app/

Hey HN,I've created Frodo. A clean interface to interact with Llama within a browser. It's using WebLLM (big fan) to enable interactions with local LLMs.There are some other projects out there, but the UI didn't do it for me. So i created this! Hope you enjoy.Check the GitHub repo here: https://github.com/wavyrai/Frodo.

I've now noted it in the first post! No VC backed product, just a solo founder. Trying to keep free AI usage somewhat limited :).
NOTE: To try it, select an example to edit using the AI. Funding it out of pocket, so sadly no infinite amount of ai credits for PLG :').

NOTE (2): Invite team members is optional :) - just skip it to get started!

No discord yet. Can set it up! Would actually be cool. And as mentioned - try the examples :).
Hey Chris,

The invite team members is optional. Not required. What was not clear enough about that in the interface? Really try to position it as a team first tool.

Show HN: Convert a Prompt or Image to User Interface, Using a React Playground

https://www.getaprototype.com

Hey HN!About 3 months ago, I posted my first rough version of Prototyper. After talking to a fair amount of users, I'm back with a real V1 :).Update: funding this out of pocket, so you can make 5 edits to an example. Hope you understand! The playground is unlimited to try though!Short background: I love prototyping in code. Whenever I start on a new project, I never pull up Figma, but drive...

Pushed some initial changes to make it better, lmk what you think :)
Re:Show HN: Open Source Prompt Builder for SaaS on Tuesday March 19, 2024 @05:00AM (#39753954)
Yeah still definitely a V0.1, Good suggestions for the library. Will make some changes to improve it.
Re:Show HN: Open Source Prompt Builder for SaaS on Tuesday March 19, 2024 @04:37AM (#39753886)
Hey HN!

I've created this OSS Prompt Builder for SaaS. Comes with a nifty link sharing feature and a good selection of presets that were useful for me when using ChatGPT/Claude for my SaaS business.

Command + K opens the command bar to interact quickly and generate prompts!

Feel free to fork, hack away or submit issues/PRs.

GPT-4 vision and but the magic is in the code generation optimization algorithm. Quite the technical challenge, but makes it more effective by mitigating hallucination!
