Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Kafka indexing tools, atuin (shell history), Anti Gravity, GitHub agentic workflows
Concerns raised: Context window size still effectively limited despite improvements, Conflict handling when multiple agents write to same SQLite store, Recovery from unclean exits and distinguishing completed vs planned work, Agent-generated memories often need editorial review and are overly verbose, CLI tooling and observability (OTEL) quality
Feature requests: Context eviction capabilities, Sync support across multiple devices (SQLite-sync integration), Benchmark testing for unclean exit recovery scenarios, Bookmark/skill features with CLI tools
