Hacker NewsBuilt on top of pi, a no-bs open source Claude Code alternative. It supports Claude, GPT, Gemini, Ollama. I've been using it daily for weeks.
Demo video that says more than $NUMBER words: https://danielnouri.org/media/pi-coding-agent-demo.mp4
The key decision here is that we have two separate windows: chat history is a markdown-mode buffer, with beautiful rendering, unlimted scrollback, selective tool expansion where it matters, etc. The input window stays visible while you paste, edit, compose. And doesn't stumble over newlines either. ;-)
Other useful things:
- Streaming output (watch commands run live)
- Syntax-highlighted code blocks and diffs
- Collapsible tool output with TAB
- Magit-style transient menu (C-c C-p)
- Branch/resume sessions, export to HTML
