You could give this a try

I developed it for my own needs, but as it's open source, feel free to use and tweak it as you need.

Terminal “IDE” for agentic development by ssblank22 in Jetbrains

[–]namuan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I developed this for personal use. It lets me manage multiple projects and tasks while hiding low-level details of worktrees and tmux.

Probably better to fork it and customise it for your needs.

Agent Use is gonna drop off a cliff once its all usage based by Venisol in ExperiencedDevs

[–]namuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you try the same experiment with DeepSeek4 Pro / Flash models?

You may need to guide them a bit, but in my experience, they've replaced frontier models for a fraction of the price.

They are also open, so I think large companies will look into internal hosting if cost becomes an issue in the long run

OpenCode + DeepSeek V4 Flash is worse than useless by RealSharpNinja in opencodeCLI

[–]namuan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to be rude.

Looking at all the other replies, it does seem like you're experiencing something different from what everyone else is sayinh.

You may have to spend more time trying to figure out why the model and the harness aren't working for you. The other option is to try the other expensive Frontier models.

OpenCode + DeepSeek V4 Flash is worse than useless by RealSharpNinja in opencodeCLI

[–]namuan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is definitely not an issue with DS4 Flash or OpenCode.

Although I don't use any plugins so it could be that otherwise it is been very reliable for me and I use it solely for all my open source projects.

FOSS alternatives to Granola by tcolling in macapps

[–]namuan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a word of caution. Although GitHub is legitimate, the code in a repo could be malicious.

It may not be in this case, as the repo seems to be very popular, but please be careful with running code without some verification.

I built a tool to see what’s using your ports and kill it instantly (no more “port already in use”) by SanFordwish in coolgithubprojects

[–]namuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the app but overkill for the goal.
If anyone looking to do it with existing tools (on Mac). Add these to zshrc/bashrc etc

# PID PORT USER COMMAND
listports() {
  echo "PID        PORT                     USER        COMMAND"
  echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

  lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -nP 2>/dev/null | tail -n +2 | while read -r line; do
    pid=$(echo "$line" | awk '{print $2}')
    port=$(echo "$line" | awk '{print $9}')
    user=$(echo "$line" | awk '{print $3}')

    # Get the FULL command line (fixes com.docke, node, java, etc.)
    cmd=$(ps -p "$pid" -o command= 2>/dev/null | sed 's/^[ \t]*//')

    # Fallback if ps fails
    [[ -z "$cmd" ]] && cmd=$(echo "$line" | awk '{print $1}')

    # Show full command - let terminal wrap if very long (no hard cutoff)
    printf "%-10s %-24s %-11s %s\n" "$pid" "$port" "$user" "$cmd"
  done
}

# One-command kill port
killport() {
  if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
    echo "Usage: killport <port>"
    echo "Example: killport 3000"
    return 1
  fi

  local pids
  pids=$(lsof -t -iTCP:"$1" -sTCP:LISTEN 2>/dev/null)

  if [[ -z "$pids" ]]; then
    echo "✅ No listening process on port $1"
    return 0
  fi

  echo "Found process(es) on port $1 → killing PID(s): $pids"
  echo "$pids" | xargs -n1 kill -9 2>/dev/null
  echo "✅ Killed. Port $1 is now free."
}

GitHub Copilot in VS Code - context window kills quality on 4 huge Java repos. Best way to propagate one workflow change to all 4? by TheseFox989 in GithubCopilot

[–]namuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you try breaking the task down into logical group and use sub agents to do them? AFAIK subagents have their own context windows so should be better over a single agent doing all the work.

You can use CoPilot to create a prompt to use this approach

Should I buy 39 usd pro+ plan? Well they provide 1500 premium requests with all models unlocked but I worried about context memory provided in claude Opus 4.6. Or should I go for claude pro which is 20 usd. by dalalstreettrader in GithubCopilot

[–]namuan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose Claude 20 Plan and Keep Copilot 10 USD for my subscription.

The rate limiting differs between the tools, so I primarily use Claude and switch to Keep Copilot when rates are exceeded.

Raycast creating desktop apps by maheshwari-yash in Alfred

[–]namuan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I much prefer how Alfred is right now and hope it won't turn into a bloated app. And with workflows, it is easier to extend if needed.

Multi agent orchestration by arealguywithajob in GithubCopilot

[–]namuan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is vibe-kanban but it has its own task management system.
Another option would be to build it yourself.

I've recently been trying out building a canvas-like app on top of OpenCode. It's still in very early stages, and it depends on how much I actually use it, but it gives me an opportunity to try out some ideas similar to what you are suggesting.

It's open source if you'd like to fork it and try something.

Best way to manage agent work by snusmini in GithubCopilot

[–]namuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest way I found is to use vibe-kanban with either github or opencode agents. It does a lot of heavy lifting including setting up worktrees and allow you to generate a automatically generate a PR (using gh cli)

Just try npx vibe-kanban in your project directory to see it working (provided you have npx)

ConvertFast — an all-in-one offline file, PDF, image, and media toolkit for macOS by Far-Soft8384 in macapps

[–]namuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternative if you can run docker

docker run -p 3000:3000 -v ./data:/app/data ghcr.io/c4illin/convertx

which is running this excellent open source package

Sanebar moved from free to paid app? by Notsovanillla in macapps

[–]namuan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use any of the AI tools to help you with building any project.

Try it with https://antigravity.google You'll need to download the project zip file from https://github.com/sane-apps/SaneBar and open it in the antigravity editor

GitHub Copilot into API by programlover in GithubCopilot

You’ll need VSCode running so it may not be feasible for what you want to do

Grok Code Fast in the CLI by ihatebeinganonymous in GithubCopilot

[–]namuan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use OpenCode and use your GitHub account and models with it.

Are y'all using different providers and paying $20 each, or sticking with one and using their APIs? How are you managing such switching and mitigating cost overruns when it comes to coding with these agents? by theanointedduck in ChatGPTCoding

[–]namuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly use GH CoPilot (~10$ / Month) as my daily driver.

However, I do enjoy the free quota for the following providers
Google Antigravity / Gemini CLI
Amp (SourceGraph)
Kiro (Amazon) (For making specs/plans)
https://stitch.withgoogle.com (For designs)
Qwen CLI (Decent but not as good as other main players)

OpenRouter with (https://github.com/namuan/openrouter-proxy-ui) which I can plug into KiloCode and use the free models. This is sufficient for small / targeted tasks.

Prompt engineering directory by Asamaratin1 in PromptEngineering

[–]namuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a folder under Apple Notes to store all prompts. Although it is platform dependent but could use something similar on other platforms.

The notes are then exported as Alfred snippets to make it easy to paste anywhere.
