The IDE for parallel agent work. MIT licensed, farm to table, fun. With one click git worktree isolation, first class plan tracking, color coding for agent states, flexible layout arrangement, and so much more, Anvil is crafted to make developers extremely productive, minimizing context switching and maximizing agent parallelism.
Is this forked from the VS Code as I am getting kinda similar vibe here. But the feature is really helpful considering running multiple claudes at a time and managing outputs becomes bit overwhelming.
@nayan_surya98 this is built from scratch in rust and typescript! No fork here

As someone who's wrestled with the chaos of parallel coding, I’m curious how do you ensure effective collaboration between agents without conflicts in shared file states?
@trydoff Two approaches
1. If the two features are big or divergent enough, you can create multiple work trees for each agent, this gives them full isolation
2. If the agents should collaborate on the same branch, I usually coordinate through a plan file. This is a simple .md file that details the phases of what I'm trying to do sometimes with dependency mapping. From there agents can coordinate and tackle isolated components of the plan.
Claude is really good at creating the dependency graph of what needs to get done and what is parallellizable.
Is it possible to work with two or more licenses, for example Claude Code? If the limit on one is reached, can you switch to the second one without losing the project context?
Yo dude, I'm reaching out for a comment.
I’m a researcher for the H1Gallery newsletters (you can google us).
We’re featuring Anvil in our April 3 issue. H1Gallery highlights excellent homepage headlines, and we wanted to reach out to see if you wanted to share a quick comment. The clarity and directness in "The open source IDE for parallel agent work." is very refreshing. The animation is super cool as well. Love it
If you’re up for it, we’d love to get a short note on the copywriting strategy behind your headline and overall messaging. As well as where our readers can follow you on social media, I couldn't find an X account or Linkedin account of yours.
Totally optional to provide a quote for us. The feature is happening regardless, but it’d be great to include your perspective. It makes the newsletter more fun for our readers when we have comments from the creators behind the headlines.
Thanks, really appreciate your time.
How does this compare to what you'd build with something like Docusign or Pandadoc for a team that already has those set up? that's the actual switching cost question and the answer would tell me a lot
