Oh, I love the idea of a changes walkthrough. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I still look through all the code and prose that gets committed. In Orca, it took me about half an hour to even find the diff view (hidden behind a panel, activated on the top right)

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it: the churn in new dev interfaces it's super exciting. Can't wait to see what next week brings.

This looks neat. How is this different from Jetbrains Air?

Since this page is clearly made with AI, someone deliberately prompted to add scroll hijacking for some reason, despite it being known to be bad UX.

Is saying "XXX: An Agentic Development Environment" already sufficient to get to the front page of HN? I guess no differentiation is even required in this category, huh?

Seems like another clone of Conductor, though this one has a serious amount of feature creep (supporting so many platforms will add a ton of extra complexity), and on OpenCode SDK only.

As a simpler desktop-only multi-platform option, I can highly recommend Termic (https://github.com/simion/termic). It just runs existing TUI coding agents (so Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, etc) and manages them in sandboxed git worktrees. You get a real PTY to manage agent in, lets you see when one is working or has paused, plus a terminal, "changed git files", even in-line-code comments you can feed back to the agent. It's a good design, works well, the main dev is working very quickly on improvements, and they're responsive to issues and PRs.

Looks interesting, might try it out. I have to ask, did you really need to hijack my scroll behaviour?

From now on I swear if I launch a new product I will call it ClosedXXX

This looks very nice and well done. Good job! Okay, I'm going to have a tongue-in-cheek rant now.

OpenChamber, OpenAI, Open WebUI, OpenDoor, Open weights, OpenTable, OpenClaw, Open This, Open That. We're increasingly diluting the meaning of the term, and "open source" more broadly, that we're at the point of OpenFatigue being a real concern here.

>> "OpenFatigue being a real concern here."

OpenConcern.

But at least it's better than Concern.net or iConcern, or even eConcern.

Let's not forget Digital Concern, ConcernCloud. And my least favourite, Concern On BlockChain.

Damnit! If I hadn't already blown $170 locking down `openfatigue.ai` today I would snap that one up too!

Increasingly? It sounds like you've never heard of the Open Group or open architecture. Some of the oldest uses are some of the weakest.
