Looks awesome! Will give it a try. I've built something similar, just open-sourced it:

I'm big on agent ergonomics. Cool to see what others are doing in the space.

Thats very kind of you :)

Hope you like it!

For the website, it would be helpful to have either a screenshot or a "sandbox" thing so I can play with it a bit

Been using this for about a month, for me it’s been a great replacement for cmux with good simple design

please add it to brew, I don't like to use bash scripts https://nocurlbash.com/#en

I'm glad someone made this site! Another good registry is https://github.com/aquaproj/aqua-registry

Yeah I am not a fan of curl bash either, but installing via most package managers (brew, npm etc) isn’t much better, since most of these skip sandboxing rn.

Maybe I am missing something, but the second you run the code, it has the same powers and risk profile as a bash curled from the internet. Maybe something about having explicit versioning?

(as an aside, I think this will change very soon…)

Homebrew is heavily sandboxed and has been using the macOS sandbox for the best part of a decade, long before many other package managers did.

We also offer a .pkg installer and other installation options so curl | bash not needed for install that either.

TIL! Thank you :)

I’ll take a look then, as I am unsure how sandboxing will interact with this system since it does a few unusual things

its existed for a few weeks (and was vibe coded, I assume) and... you're announcing it to the entire world?
Why not?

counterpoint: why?

Bless you dang, you keep the spirit of this website alive and fight back the always-encroaching cynicism of the world.

How much of this could be plugins to herdr?

eleventen | 5 hours ago

Probably very little. Herdr’s plugin system is quite limited and immature compared to something like Pi. I love herdr and use it daily but it has its limits.

Nice to see people experimenting. I’m not really an early adopter but hopefully the good ideas get picked up by herdr

I've been using herdr and this looks like a v2 of it. Will give it a try.

At this point any coder that forgot (or rather deliberately chose not to) to tell their agent

    'oh btw, add the light theme as well and maybe read the system's, if that's not such a bother of course'
isn't worth the time, and they probably didn't bother about the 'a' of accessibilty/ux in the first place anyway, neither is their tool no matter how famous it is or would become.

[OP] eiopa | 3 hours ago

There's a built-in theme called "Animal Style" that adapts to your terminal's existing theme by picking up & extending its palette, and specifically tries to adapt to light themes as well :)

It works ~alright in light themes, but not as well considered as the default one yet which is why it's not the default.

Can you give it a try?

I was talking about the website.

Can I access it over the web w/ a cloudflare tunnel? Nice project overall though.
I know naming is hard, but there's another YC company with that name from a recent batch: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/corgi-insurance
> cmd+v just pastes images (even on SSH)

This is such an useful feature and I'm surprised so few tools bother to implement it.
