- I'm the maintainer of Paseo. I didn't submit this, so it was a nice surprise to see it on HN!
I'm around if anyone has questions about the project.

- Looks nice. The README pitches model-per-task picking but doesn't say
much about context management. In coding-agent loops the full system
prompt + tool specs re-send on every step — a 30-step task pays the
input cost 30x. Prompt-cache headers catch the static prefix, but the
per-step diff (file diffs, observation tokens) isn't cached, and that's
often most of the input. Auto-summarizing older trajectory into a state
vector saved 40-60% input tokens in workloads I've looked at — could be
a useful daemon-side concern since users won't reach into each agent's
internals.
- Have been using it for a few days. It's chuck full of features and works great. (Have not used Relay, direct only)
- "Ship on the go" is so insane to me.
It's like people pulling their phones out while taking a piss standing, or having to pull their phones out when the traffic lights are red in a crossing.
Just, do one thing at a time, live a life.
Shipping code from your phone, whhhyy. Mates, this isn't a flex, it's depression.
- This looks awesome! I've been working on a fairly similar project but just for myself (definitely not production ready) and this format for interacting with code seems like it has a lot of potential. One thing I was considering as a value-add was that this type of interface enables is having support for MDX output or even embedded MCP UI apps in the middle of a chat. Typical CLI agents don't support that but a UI that lets your code embed Excalidraw diagrams and graphs could be great for things like data analysis on the go. Even embedding images in a chat would make using coding agents a lot nicer imo.
- Designer here, this is what finally unlocked multi-agent workflow for me. Each session comes with a script that runs a local server in a different port
- I'm using Gitea itself as my coding agent interface. I simply tag @codex or @claude on an issue and ask it to open a pull request. Or ask it to reply back on a comment thread, etc.
The Gitea interface is already a pretty good interface that can be accessed from any browser on any device.
- Not to undercut the open source nature of this, but what makes this "beautiful"? From a design standpoint, it's basic tailwind. Neutral grey tailwind at that, using Lucide icons. There's nothing wrong with these, but it'd be more apt to say that the design is unopinionated. It's the default choice when design intent is the afterthought and a focus is on functionality.
Again, not trying to undercut - looks like a solid agent interface, it just struck me as strange that beautiful was the adjective chosen when design seems to not be the objective here.
- Nice. I’m doing https://rcarmo.github.io/projects/piclaw (which is embedding pi) but I like the way this is designed. Congrats!
- This looks really neat!
I've tried Conductor, Superconductor, cmux, and a half-dozen other apps that all give you a similar interface. It'd be great if there was a comparison to at least some of those on Paseo's website.
- This looks like something worth trying and I'm glad it's open source. I've been using https://github.com/openchamber/openchamber for a few months now and I'm pleased with its features. Their web based pwa and locally running cli is similar.
- So this is an alternative to using one coding agent with openrouter, changing the models between tasks? I am a neophite in these things, my ai use is more calling apis from scripts right now. Can somebody please explain the pros and cons (beyond to openrouter fees) of each?

- Nice work. I've been building a token usage dashboard for Claude Code —
seeing how much each project actually costs.
Would be curious if Paseo surfaces any token/cost visibility too.

- I think this is a neat idea. Is there a way to self-host the web app interface?
- "Modern" and "elegant" are missing in the description, two of coders' most loved words; they should attract more.
- Very nice! an open-sourced alternative of Codex Remote Control, allowing full customization
- Looks incredible, I just built what seems to be a shittier version of this using OrbStack + JJ a couple days ago. Will take a look!
