  • It looks amazing in the beginning but with work done on 5 remote machines herdr just gets laggy after couple of hours and basically becomes almost unsable.

  • Herdr has been my daily driver for about a month now. It cant auto-name sessions like every other multiplexer though. That one stupid feature is so valuable I'm considering moving on.

  • The name/logo sounds/looks a lot like Rancher (https://www.rancher.com) which is "herding" (docker) containers.

  • My setup is ghostty with herdr and this is so much better than using tmux or anything else. The one issue I have with herdr is its default key bindings are not familiar with anything I’ve used before. But it is easy to make Claude configure this - I found you can bind cmd-<key> sequences n addition to ctrl and alt modifiers. The only thing I’m missing is viewing rendered markdown and mermaid charts as part of the agent outputs.

  • This does not seem to be an official product by Herdr themselves.

    Use at your own risk.

  • I actually enjoy herdr a lot, and not just for agent management but the whole multiplexer is plenty powerful defaults and easier than tmux.

    At some point though, it's too much information for my tiny human brain to process, even more than 3 agents is hard to manage and context switch. What is the point of managing herd of swarm of whatever I wonder?

  • Using their name, logo, and css styles - community project.

    Feels wildly misleading.

  • Seems they should be making it more clear they are not associated with Herdr. Just as I use a minimal harness (Pi) I appreciate the minimal features of Herdr. Much of the features this adds, I prefer to bring my own. In many cases, I let my agents go and don't much look at Herdr.

    The minimal decisions is partly what gains my trust. If Herdr were to come up with something like this, then I would give it more attention. Since it is not associated with Herdr, I'm no more likely to give it attention than any other the other overwhelming AI coding things that hit Github in too short of a period.
