Description
Track agentic CLIs across multiple providers and repos, from any device and across multiple machines, see git trees, terminals, usage, issues, and UI all on one workspace. I have been trying to parallelize agentic coding to extreme, sometimes managing up to 15 CLIs at the same time across multiple repos and tasks, and I suffered a huge productivity tax due to context fragmentation and constantly forgetting which terminal is doing what. I felt restricted by most grid pane managers, and thats why my friend and I built 49 IDE.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an infinite 2D canvas UI is straightforward, but orchestrating and multiplexing 15+ remote CLI agent sessions across different machines with terminal streaming and Git tree tracking is a difficult distributed systems task.
What it would actually take: The stack needs an interactive 2D canvas frontend (HTML5 Canvas/Pixi.js/React-Flow) paired with a real-time backend running PTY multiplexers (node-pty, WebSockets) and cross-machine agent daemons. The hard parts include handling bidirectional streaming terminal sessions reliably over high-latency connections, tracking concurrent Git states/diffs safely across remote machines, and process isolation. It requires systems networking and developer tooling infrastructure experience.
