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..
This project looks great, well done, BUT it seems very odd to be "grumbling" about Pi when you're explicitly targeting a separate audience (GUI users).
There are other GUI tools like Juggler that are quite popular, like cmux, that it seems better placed as an alternative to.
Thanks! My grumbling is really just that the sheer amount of noise and churn in this area at the moment is making it hard to get any attention, despite there being so many millions of potential users out there. Unlike many of the others, I'm just one bloke, not a VC-funded outfit with a marketing budget!
Fwiw, as a terminal-dweller I have trialled cmux - it didn't hit the spot for me obviously, but I filed as away as a tool to recommend to my wife/siblings who are pretty technical but don't code, but want to dip their toes in this age of llms. That's a growing demographic I haven't really seen many tools trying to serve - Juggler's not explicitly aimed at that market but it looks much much better suited than cmux or other guis I've seen, so I'll probably be giving it a go.
