  • Any plans to expose Loopsy as an MCP server?

  • love this. It feels less like “remote control” and more like turning all your machines + agents into one coherent organism.

    Curious how you think about the overlap with something like Tailscale, and where you see Loopsy being strictly better or worse.

  • A coworker does this with OC + tailscale + https://github.com/NeuralNomadsAI/CodeNomad

  • Well done.

    Dependence on Cloudflare… have you considered making it a service that I could install on my own server?

  • The way I see it, having lots of agents that work together across different computers is mostly about a sync-up problem dressed up as something else. Loopsy is a clean tool for sending messages, but I get tripped up on which agent has control of a file at any moment, and what happens when two terminal sessions write to the same file within half a minute.

    I really need a tool that locks files for editing rather than just one for sending messages. Should the second machine's agent wait its turn until the file is free, or should it create its own branch of the file to merge later? With Loopsy, what we're getting is more like a mailbox system, but in my own setup, the lock would be the right approach in most cases.

    I have a single rule listed in CLAUDE.md that just reads, "do not modify child project files from parent context." This is because the parent git repository only contains meta-files and automation, and the agent constantly forgets it during sessions, especially when switching machines. After about ten weeks, I added .sync-conflict-* files to my .syncignore.

  • Even if alternatives and (for now shoddy) 'official solutions' exist, I just like...

    Not calling _you_ a learner, just calling out to this -- when teaching people to program I've almost invariably told them to focus on getting something practical working.

    I hope that a lot more people get to experience this pattern as a result of LLMs. With enough experimentation I'm excited for what creativity we draw out of people.
