I'm working on Prompter Hawk, which is a dashboard for managing your local coding agents like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini's cli. It's my answer to the problems you encounter when trying to run multiple claude code's in parallel across your terminal windows.
- instead of chat conversations, you just create "tasks" which are non-interactive. If you're familiar with "claude -p", that's what it's doing.
- All task outputs, like a list of files changed and a git commit, are attached to the task.
- The main dashboard is designed be a glanceable view of everything your agents are doing, at the right level of abstraction for heavy parallelization of your tasks.
- task data is all tracked and persistent so you can open a project a month later and get the same set of agents you were working with before (as opposed to keeping terminals open forever)
- some analytical views like counts of your LOC, commits, and tool calls. Also a timeline view so at the end of the day you can get a visual of how much time each of your agents was working.
I'm struggling with marketing it but I do have a homepage and sales up at https://prompterhawk.dev/. You can try it for free.
I have a ton of sideprojects now thanks to agentic development and prompter hawk so I'm also working on (all unpublished for now):
- a WW1 military sim where an agent controls each soldier on a little simulated trench warfare battlefield
- tastemaker, a swipe-left/right app that tries to understand your "taste" so that you can export it to your agent workflows
- evosim, an evolutionary life simulator that runs on GPU with neural creatures that evolve body parts
- my-agents-talk-to-your-agents, a tiny unpublished social-ish network where you can have your agent talk to other agents there and get a feed later on of what they talked about
With a bit of tuning, you can get models like Claude to output Mermaid-style diagrams. I built this as a feature into the tasks, so that you can hit a toggle which adds a prompt asking the agent to create a Mermaid diagram during or after the task execution. I pull this diagram back into the GUI and display it with the task information. So user flow is like:
-User creates task as usual but toggles the "mermaid diagram" option on
-Agent takes additional step during execution to create diagram
-User sees that diagram on the task details panel for that task
If you specify in your overall task prompt what kind of diagram you want or what you want it to show, it will take your specifications into account. It's just a prompt control + automatically pulling that diagram back into the task tracking.
I'm thinking all the time about what the "best" way of using local AI agents like Claude / Codex / Gemini is. I'm trying to figure out the best UI/UX. There's so so so much that hasn't been explored yet.
Mainly I'm working on a task dispatch dashboard called Prompter Hawk that is designed to be the best UI for task management with agents. If you've been trying to parallelize by running multiple claude code terminals or codex terminals at once, this tool replaces those terminals and fits them all into one view with an AI task tracking board. It sounds more complicated than it is. It's a harness for Claude / Gemini / GPT models with a GUI that speeds up all your workflows. Rather than using sustained chat mode, all Prompter Hawk tasks are fire-and-forget. You just give the task description and come back when it's done. Parallelism first.
Some example highlight features:
-One dashboard view that shows all your parallel sessions and which tasks each agent has in progress and in their queue. Also shows recently completed tasks and outputs. This is my attempt at the ideal "pilot's cockpit view" for agentic development.
-Tasks are well tracked by the manager: see their status, file changes, and git commits. One click task retry. Get breakdowns on cost per run. Tasks can be set to automatically recur on a given schedule. Everything goes into a persistent local DB so you can easily pull up task data from months ago. Far far better user experience than trying to pull up old chat histories IMO.
-Timeline view and analytics views that give you hard stats on your velocity and how effectively your agents are using and updating your codebase. See unique stats like which of your files your agents read the most and how many daily LOC and commit changes you're doing. See how well you're parallelizing workloads at a simple glance.
-Automatic system diagram generation
-Task suggestion feature. If your agents are idle, they can draft tentative tasks to carry out next, based on the project history and your goals. This makes keeping multiple agents spinning actually much easier than you'd think. You don't need to be a multitasking context-switching god to do this.
I haven't shared it much (not even a Show HN) because the landing page isn't converting well at all yet, though I have some reddit ads doing well. I've had a bunch of free users sign up and a handful of paying users too. Looking for users or just feedback on anything! Sorry for wall of text.
It's sad for me to admit this but I find online ordering especially for fast food in my area is a much better experience because it standardizes the presentation of the order details for the cashier. When I speak to a human being however I often run into language barriers immediately, and as a result my orders get screwed up more often.
You're missing the point and willfully characterizing others as solely being concerned with making the AI's say slurs. That's not their concern. But you can win any imaginary argument you like.
I think multi-currency systems can be used to juice microtransactions pretty hard still. For example League of
Legends gives players free "chests" and free "keys" as a slow-drip, and you can open any chest with a key to get some random loot. If your chest count doesn't match your keys you can buy more of either using real cash. So basically multi currency systems can be used to keep players intentionally in a state of imbalance. It also makes it so their money doesn't go as far in the game if you have to buy separate blue yellow and red coins instead of just yellow coins like it sounds like in your Hades example (just having 9).
Musk has said that one of his companies will give paraplegics the ability to walk again. He's overstated and overhyped the autonomous driving capabilities a million times as well.
Matlab's focus on examples really shines. It's how people actually want to use docs: let me copy and paste something that works and then iterate from there.
"9s" are brought up in reliability discussions. They refer to the number of 9's in an uptime metric like 99%, 99.9%, 99.9999%, ...

>How many creative and truly innovative thinking people do you know that will spend hours studying for and partaking in such a ridiculous interview process‽
I may be posting this defensively, since I practice leetcode to prepare for tech interviews. But I disagree with the assertion that creative and innovative people don't have to put up with process and procedure. Pretty much everyone has to do grunt work sometimes, and it's especially important to "prove your worth" when first meeting a new person or company. The leetcode problems are far from useless, speaking as someone who has given more than my fair share of different types of interview problems. And furthermore the fact that you're willing to put in hours on a skill you don't particularly care about carries valuable signal to employers.
Calling yourself a tech bro is intentional ironic humor. Guys doing this are likely aware of the negative connotations but also the fact that if you are a young man in tech, other people will label you a tech bro regardless. It's just a harmless joke imo.
We're in all-caps italics territory so I'm not sure how helpful I can be, but I just want to stress the fact that as a modern human we all have to rely on organizations and companies outside of our control. Things like IRC, in 2022, are for software developers to talk to each other. Things like Discord, are built for my mid-twenties friends to talk to each other. If I moved to IRC for the control, I would have no one to talk to!
