I've been maintaining an open source productivity app (Super Productivity) for 9 years and working as a programmer for much longer than that. When AI coding agents came along, they changed how I work - but the other tools and habits I grow comfortable with over the years, weren't a good fit anymore.
One agent works on a feature. I wait, get distracted, start something else. Finally, I come back, review, start the next one. Wait again. Get distracted again. I had a backlog of ideas and the tools to build them, but things got messy. I was doing a lot, but I felt like I'd lost control compared to how I used to code.

Running Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini in parallel and comparing outputs is interesting from a quality standpoint. When you're generating UI components, getting three interpretations of the same prompt actually helps you catch what the spec was missing. Would be curious whether there's a way to combine the best parts of each output.
40+ keyboard shortcuts?? ok you have my attention π I'm building a productivity app myself and I'm obsessed with keyboard-first workflows β reaching for the mouse when you're deep in flow is painful. The Alt+Arrow navigation between panes sounds super smooth. Definitely trying this out, congrats on the launch! π
