Working on a mobile interface for terminal multiplexers like tmux/zellij/herdr. This focuses a lot on my need to manage agents on the go, it's been quite helpful to myself so far.

On Twitter they mentioned that it was unfortunate timing as the 3.7 flash release collided with ox alpha.

I think the reason is that after all the benchmark comparisons, anthropic models still perform much more reliably and better in day to day use. Every day now there is a new supposedly fable level model that then somehow completely vanishes in a couple of days. While fable is still the best model and if only it were cheaper less people would be hating I suppose.

This really reminds of the spec comparison obsession android users had in the 2010s. Every 6months an 'iPhone killer' was released, but they were only ever superior in total isolation.

Switching to a different AI vendor has way less friction than switching between phone ecosystem

Also AI models have less intangible subjective qualities that separate each other.

if you're using herdr, i built a plugin exactly for this reason. its a pwa so requires a proper frontdoor for secured access (tailscale, netbird etc.).

Using it now. It seems like I finally found something that works. Having the same agents accessible on the laptop in a large TUI and quickly viewable from my phone has been useful.

Tailscale integration works well too. The mobile notification setup was a little clunky and the instructions were confusing, until I found the directory with the shell scripts. It should probably expose a herdr action to generate the keys and include that in the documentation.

One thing though: the subagent lines should be clickable like they are in Termux but your actions box absorbs the click and focuses the GUI input line.

I only saw this now, thanks for writing this up. Will take a look and address these in one of the upcoming releases.

I've been working on collie[1] a plugin for herdr that runs a web app on the herdr host which can then be served via tailscale for example. This has made accessing my agents on the go a lot easier, paired with session persistence from herdr it's been quite nice to work with.

Yes, thank you I have been using it daily and it's great. Good job

Plus one here. Just set it up! Works a treat! Thanks!

Love what you're doing at cactus, keep it up!!

They should opt out of Google. What they are doing here in open daylight is insane. They stole the entire internet to train their models and are now shoving AI overviews down everyones throat. Clicks to publishers were already decreasing over the last years even without AI, but 2026 is showing what the future will look like, zero clicks from Google, because they dont care. Google got what it wanted and is now racing to AGI spending all its cash on datacenters, not caring about all the casualties along the way. Google, on its current trajectory, is truly evil in my opinion.

I'm really not a fan of regulation, but someone has to step in and have Google seperate its products, search should be free of AI overviews imo.

I'm with you in spirit but publishers are hardly blameless. SEO optimization and framework bloat made internet browsing downright unpleasant since the late 2000s.

Google is delivering a solution to a problem they [indirectly?] created.

So I guess we (and a lot of other people) have had the same problem, which is managing your agents on the go. I decided to build a plugin[1] for my terminal multiplexer (herdr) to access the sessions via PWA served through a tailnet.

check out tsnet if you are building on tailscale anyways. your app can then be a tailnet node that can read tailnet WhoIs data and have access controlled via tailnet ACL

really cool! didn't know this existed, thanks! Going to have to figure out how to make this work with headscale though, looks a bit tedious.

this looks nice! i've been using herdr the last couple of weeks as a terminal multiplexer for agents, which works amazingly well.
