Yeah I also see people building a lot of TUIs around agents, which essentially are just session managers. That's why tmux works so well too for working with agents.

I have tried couple of wrappers, but tmux and claude code just works great. Claude has even "vim" mode :)

Similar sentiment on recent roundtable:
> Everyone Wants a Quick Dashboard. Best Real-Time. [..]. But Usually Time Is the Limiting Factor—How Do You Balance This?

TLDR:
Push back on the first request that “real-time is a must” to avoid added complexity. It’s not what’s needed (mostly).

Ohh to bad, im sure its a use case many have. Im trying to create something across a couple of hyperscaler. But it's not that straightforward, stil involves manual work

Pretty cool how to add comments to an article when reading and directly storing in my @obsidian.md second brain, and be able to link to other notes.

This is not what I expected, but it feels really good to have everything lightweight ending in my Vault. Similar to Readwise, but much simpler.
