I really enjoyed herdr at first but ever since they got VC funding I am avoiding it. Enshittification and cloud features due to vc/monetization pressure incoming.

Since you used herdr before it got funding, were you going to donate or pay for it without VC funding?

I guess there is some nuance here. Would I pay for a very good agent multiplexer that makes me a lot more productive? Sure, same reason I pay for other apps or services.

But for Herdr specifically? Probably not. There are tons of similar free alternatives and even vibe coding your own is very easy with all the open source code of both herdr and all the alternatives available.

That is not the question I am asking.

So no then.

That is why they went for VC money since the author knew that donations weren't enough to maintain it in the open.

Why would I waste tokens vibe coding something that would go unmaintained in 6 months (because it is "free") over a properly funded project that will last much longer than that?

The cost of maintenance is never "free".

Are you asking the same question to emacs users?
rvz 4 hours ago||
Yes. So you donated to Emacs as a long time user?
grim_io 2 hours ago||
No, and i don't feel bad about it.
rvz 2 hours ago||
Good. So as you as a long time Emacs user, no donations to support them at all.

Thank you for proving my point.

Don't confuse Open Source with an enshittification backdoor with Free Software.

Which of these various new multiplexers (herdr, cmux, etc) work over ssh, and which have protocols underneath?

I've been scripting tmux for a while now, and it's not the greatest. And when I have a bunch of opencode sessions rolling along often my tmux could usage is smoking. I'd be happy to try other things. But I'd way rather get into something with protocols, that is open to play.

herdr has native support for remote machines. Both the CLI and the new app have this.

At work I do much of my work on a ec2 box via ssh with herdr
