jahala | on: Conductor is joining Meta
Conductor is awesome. Meta sucks donkey balls, and I refuse to use their products.

I'll prolly have claude reverse engineer conductor over the next month so the show can go on ...

There’s no need to. There are so many alternatives with almost the same feature set like superset.sh and orca.dev.

Why not try one of the existing services before you spend time maintaining something yourself? For the past two months, I've been using boxes.dev

95% of all my sessions are on boxes. Initially, the draw was just a remote box that I could control on mobile, but some of the features they have added recently, like coordinating child sessions, are wildly good.

I know there are new startups in this space every day, so what tipped things for me was that the team is so responsive and ships features in the matter of hours.

I'll tinker with this on the side. To see "how hard can it be anyhow" and to maybe end up with something better long term.

Edit:

Surprise, surprise - I'm launching a new open source project: "Conducted" (not affiliated with, or to be confused with any similar brands) Conducted is MIT license, and will remain open source until hell has frozen over.

Looking for contributors ;) .. Feel free to give it a star, throw some agents in its direction.

do you work at boxes.dev
roopakv | root | parent
Nope, completely different space and zero affiliation. Which either means it's really that good, or that I need to start charging consulting fees.

Save tokens and spend them on building cool stuff instead. If you're open to it, give my dreamcoder.ai harness a whirl.

Agentastic is already pretty close in concept. Why not help improve it?

Been using superset for some time, but they dont have the cloud offering yet..

I migrated off Conductor to getbb.app a while ago and can highly recommend it.

For cloud agents I just built plugins in bb for boat.dev and smolmachines.com. Works like a charm.

literally no need when there are about 10,000 clones all doing the exact same thing, practically down to the UI and website
