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 is fairly off-topic but I thought you were familiar alright! I used JUCE back in college for a POC synthesizer and I remember it being the absolute best for plugin development. Incredibly enough it was my first point of contact with C++ and it was a joy to develop with.
I have not revisited VSTs post LLMs or even stayed close to music since I lost my collection and rock climbing has consumed most of my last decade, but kudos to putting such unique tooling out there when the rest of the ecosystem looked so byzantine. It's wild how people built so many incredible virtual instruments back in the day.
Going through those memories I'm now curious how the scene is like today where wild idea projects are more within reach.
