    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.

        I like TUIs because I am running agents in Docker, often remotely.

        How can a GUI replicate this workflow? I know it could, technically, but not as easily.

          Well juggler literally does that - you run it headlessly on some machine (docker, whatever), it opens a HTTP port, and you can control it remotely with the exact same desktop GUI that you&#x27;d see if you ran it locally. (The desktop app is actually just running a headless process internally and serving it to its own window via HTTP).

            Well, I apologize for assuming! But, nevertheless, that&#x27;s why TUIs are popular.
