first week in years I haven't reached for tmux
completely switched to herdr by
@lumendriada — the ergonomics, the information architecture, the hackability all just click
my biggest gripe with every coding agent orchestrator I've tried (and I've tried 10 ):
if you're building a pretty UI - they're sluggish, you need to "import projects", not as snappy as tui tools, and the setup isn't portable to remote machines
if you're building a multi terminal manager - agent runs get buried (i finish a task, walk away, come back, and now i'm scrolling through panes trying to find where it happened), and they still somehow make the UI around the terminal feel sluggish
herdr is the best mix of:
- native tui launched from terminal, no separate desktop app
- dedicated spaces agents view - finished session? one jump. no need to scan
- super easy to extend new features (I forked the main project to build full screen panes, ctrl k quick switcher, navigation mode)
- works with ssh for remote coding agents
- i can get pi to spin up multiple new herdr panes and visually see the new agent runs
haven't felt this level of flow state in a tool since early cursor
