Building and operating package coming spans section machines, distant hosts, sandboxes, services, and accumulation systems. It has galore modes of operation: interactively pinch a quality developer, automatically done CI and inheritance processes, and progressively done agents moving in parallel.

This activity is each related, yet today's devices disagreement it into abstracted systems. Interactive tools assume a personification astatine an interface. Automatic activity disappears into jobs and logs. And arsenic the work moves to accumulation it lives down abstracted systems and controls.

AI makes this fragmentation much visible and costly, but it did not create it. System administration, continuous integration, distant improvement and collaboration person strained the same boundaries for decades.

We judge the missing furniture is simply a durable convention astir the activity itself: 1 that tin span applications and environments, supply applicable discourse by default, expose system information and actions, sphere history, and beryllium driven by package while remaining visible and controllable by people.

What we're building

This is our scheme to build a multiplexer for each work:

  1. 1 Build an unthinkable multiplexer.
  2. 2 Make everything successful it composable.
  3. 3 Make it safe and operable successful production.

A multiplexer brings aggregate independent streams together done a communal interface. For us, that intends interactive work, automatic work, and accumulation activity would stock 1 well-crafted underlying strategy alternatively of surviving successful abstracted tools.

We'll statesman pinch a terminal multiplexer. It keeps aggregate terminal blocks organized wrong a long-lived session, truthful you tin adjacent the application, reconnect from different device, and pick up precisely wherever you near off.

If you're already acquainted pinch terminal multiplexers, you'll consciousness correct astatine home, but we're bringing a much modern touch. Sessions tin beryllium accessed done the web and autochthonal macOS/iOS applications, and sharing a unrecorded convention pinch different group is built successful from the start. We're also addressing the astir communal papercuts of existing tools, specified arsenic making scrollback, selection, and scrolling each activity natively.

A terminal multiplexer whitethorn sound for illustration a constrictive spot to commencement a company. Our imagination is much larger, but terminals link developers, agents, tools, and infrastructure truthful it is the right foundation for everything that follows. We will build a high-quality terminal multiplexer that remains fantabulous astatine that job, moreover arsenic it grows to support the 2nd and 3rd parts of the plan. We'll person much to opportunity astir those later.

Who we are

We're a squad that has spent our full careers building immoderate of the astir wide utilized developer tooling, infrastructure software, and AI systems. We attraction profoundly astir well-crafted software that is beautiful to use, reliable successful practice, and designed for others to build on.
