MidShip ItCrowd Pleaser

Another all-in-one AI workspace competing with Cursor, Windsurf, and Continue.

Strengths
  • Red/green diff review with per-block accept/reject for agent-generated code changes.
  • Kanban board links coding sessions directly to files and tasks for context tracking.
  • Pluggable provider architecture supports Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and Copilot.
Weaknesses
  • Crowded category with established players offering deeper IDE integration already.
  • Feature parity with Obsidian, Linear, and Excalidraw means reinventing many wheels.
Target Audience

Developers managing multiple AI coding sessions simultaneously

Post Description

Hi, I'm Karl. Greg and I spent the last year building Nimbalyst, an open-source local desktop workspace for working with coding agents.

We want to give agents and humans one place to work together with maximum bandwidth and context, instead of Obsidian for plans, Excalidraw for diagrams, Codex app or Conductor for session management, and Linear for tasks. So we integrated:

- Visual editors for markdown, diagrams, mockups, data models, CSV, code, and your own custom extensions

- Red/green diff review with per-block accept/reject when an agent makes changes

- Session manager with parallel sessions, kanban, search, resume, and links from sessions to the files they touched

- Task tracking where agents and humans create, update, and execute tasks linked to files and sessions

- Developer features like a terminal, worktrees, visual git, and agent-driven commits and branches

Nimbalyst supports Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode (alpha), and Copilot (alpha) through a pluggable provider system.

The desktop and iOS apps are MIT; the collab server is AGPL.

I'd welcome your feedback and contributions.
