Every few weeks Pi hits #1 here and I quietly grumble "mine does that too, but with lovely graphics.", so I'm saying it out loud: <a href="https://github.com/juggler-ai/juggler" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/juggler-ai/juggler
Like Pi, it'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's any spare oxygen trailing off this thread, I'd love any Pi-heads who fancy a bit of GUI action to come and kick the tyres..
Well, I wouldn't've found your project if you didn't mention it here, so good job! It looks good, minimal, I like that you're using javascript instead of that thing typescript.
Unrelated, I found that when an open model (qwen3-coder:30b) drives an mcp tool (chrome-devtools-mcp@latest), it hallucinates the tool calls, and the docs say they never promised that tool calls would make sense or be valid. To me, this is a blocker and is the reason I've stopped looking at harnesses like pi. The tool calls are just fine if a closed LLM, gpt-5.* drives them, but I need a free and open LLM. Have you run into this issue, have you addressed it?
