    Every few weeks Pi hits #1 here and I quietly grumble &quot;mine does that too, but with lovely graphics.&quot;, so I&#x27;m saying it out loud: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;juggler-ai&#x2F;juggler" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;juggler-ai&#x2F;juggler

    Like Pi, it&#x27;s plugins all the way down, provider-agnostic, minimal system prompts, threaded sub-agents, code-mode, multi-client remote sessions, worktrees, a context window you can actually see and edit, etc etc

    Where Pi is way ahead is the plugin ecosystem, and that takes people, which is hard to get amid the current deluge of agent action. So if there&#x27;s any spare oxygen trailing off this thread, I&#x27;d love any Pi-heads who fancy a bit of GUI action to come and kick the tyres..

      My personal quiet grumbling is that everyone got on the TUI bandwagon without any rational reason. I find it borderline psychotic. Or maybe humans are much more like sheep than we care to admit: we just follow the flock into the (UI) ravine. So your GUI is a nice escape.

        For me terminal use is a must because I want my harness to run in VMs, headless server etc.

          That&#x27;s where I&#x27;m at too. I tried to used web interfaces served from the VMs, but it was messy. I&#x27;m way happier with TUIs.

          That doesn&#x27;t mean you need a TUI! Juggler runs in headless terminals and VMs - you run it as a headless server process, and it serves the exact same desktop GUI via HTTP to any number of clients

            Or just use a TUI

          It does seem like devs are splitting into the TUI and GUI tribes. Like tabs and spaces. We will probably never reconcile our differences or learn to empathise with the other side.
