Submission text

I know, everybody and their dog has created an agent manager by now, but I think mine is particularly awesome: - It runs an agent per task in a Podman container that it can customize itself. - It embeds a VS Code per task (running in the container), so I can review code or do some manual labor without getting lost in a sea of windows. - It allows you to organize your tasks on a Kanban board. - It supports running agents on other machines over SSH. You can close your laptop. - It allows running services and exposing their ports to your localhost (even over SSH), for testing changes to web apps. - It optionally manages squashing, rebasing, merging, testing and deployment. - It's very flexible with tasks: forked tasks, scheduled tasks, follow-ups on already-merged tasks, tasks awaiting other tasks, one-of tasks that are not attached to a project, tasks created by other tasks. - It allows you to provide tasks with OpenRouter budgets for consulting other models (like audio, video, images). I've just recorded a demo walk-through video. I'd be very happy to receive any feedback!

    I've tried many options, and for my use case, what works best is as simple as OMP inside Herdr... other bells and whistles just end up being distractions; I keep falling back to simplicity.
