Description
We were both genuinely impressed by Claude Code after it helped each of us fix nasty CI problems overnight. Doing those fixes manually would have taken days.After that experience, we each found ourselves struggling through Ctrl+Tab through multiple Claude Code windows in our terminals. While we enjoyed having agents working for us in parallel, context switching and cycling through each terminal tab was a real pain.So we thought: Can we design a TUI dashboard that manages a large swarm of agents in one place? Even better, can agents manage agents hierarchically, like how companies work?OMAR (Open Multi-Agent Runtime) is the result of this exploration. We spent months building it, and we think it is now ready to show the world. If you find OMAR interesting, give it a try. We would love to hear from you. :)Check out our blog here for more details: https://omar.tech/blog/introducing-omar/Thanks! Karim & Shaokai

Could you build this?
Partial The terminal TUI presentation can be vibe-coded, but coordinating and multiplexing 100 concurrent agent CLI sessions deterministically across tmux with robust IPC and lifecycle management requires solid systems programming.
What it would actually take: Written in Rust with libraries like `ratatui` for the TUI and a custom daemon interfacing directly with tmux or pseudo-terminals (PTYs). The core difficulty lies in IPC, real-time log ingestion, backpressure management across dozens of spawned LLM agent processes, and deterministic state synchronization between the terminal UI and web dashboard.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
