I bought the Refactoring UI book years ago and it taught me so much about simplicity and good design!

Peter's (author) last project is reusing a lot of these small libraries as tools in a way larger project. Long term memory is part of that too.

It's an assistant building itself live on Discord. It's really fun to watch.

Yeah sounds unhealthy, at least self-aware?

Speaking from personal experience and talking to other users - the agents/harnesses of the vendors are just better and they are customized for their own models.

what kinds of tasks do you find this to be true for? For a while I was using claude code inside of the cursor terminal, but I found it to be basically the same as just using the same claude model in there.

Presumably the harness cant be doing THAT much differently right? Or rather what tasks are responsibilities of the harness could differentiate one harness from another harness

This becomes clearer for me with harder problems or long running tasks and sessions. Especially with larger context.

Examples that come to mind are how the context is filled up and how compaction works. Both Codex and Claude Code ship improvements regarding this specific to their own models and I’m not sure how this is reflected in tools like Cursor.

For us also Digital Ocean, Render, and a few other vendors are down.

At this point picking vendors that don't use Cloudflare in any way becomes the right thing to do.

Claude was also down (which brought me here)

I tried it and ran out of credits during the first prompt. No visible way to upgrade or purchase.

Very cool! I'm trying this out for our agents system!

Overall it should feel faster and simpler. We wanted to build a product that lets you focus on your work and not the tool.

You don't need to organize much like in Notion and it should feel less clunky.

The main differences in terms of features are aggregated tasks across the whole workspace, search across multiple tools (Google Drive, Linear), and side by side view.

I'm building Saga which is a fast, minimalist note taking app for notes and tasks.

It focuses on simplicity, speed, and easy linking between notes (autocomplete, referencing, automatic linking).

We have an AI assistant that works inline in your notes. You can select text and rewrite/edit them with Cmd + J.

We also have a chat on the side (Cmd + L) that you can use to chat with your current page or other pages you insert in the context.

The overall idea is that similar to Cursor/Copilot, an integrated workspace is the best UI to work with AI. Workspaces have all our internal knowledge, are integrated with other tools and AI can be used on top of all that context.

We have a free version if you decide to have a look! Looking forward to your feedback!

Saga: https://saga.so is a collaborative workspace with a strong focus on speed/simplicity.
