My favorite VCS friendly ticket tracker is https://github.com/wedow/ticket

It's human-readable, simple, and easy to work with. Basically there's no magic.

Yeah, ticket is great! I liked it so much I ended up porting it to Python, which I find easier to read than awk/sh, and tweaking the command surface over dozens of iterations of trying to make the design more ‘self-explanatory’ for coding agents. https://github.com/a3lem/tiquette

(Excuse the vibe-coded README)

Anyway, even though I’m using it every day, I’m beginning to doubt the core idea of tracking hundreds of .md files in git. They get in the way of fuzzy file search, and if you keep closed tickets around in an archive directory, they just pile up endlessly.

Lately I’ve been considering breaking tickets out of VCS entirely or moving them to a dedicated repository just for ticket tracking.

Git bug looks like it might at least handle getting tickets out of the way

Anyone know if the model architecture overlaps with Jev, or is it just coincidence these are releasing at similar times?

As far as I know Jev's architecture isn't public (though I might be mistaken!), but it is a coincidence :)

Needle 3 has been in the making since Needle 2 launched early august, but we are very excited that Jev is bringing more attention to the problem we are trying to solve.

Not OP- I think there’s been some cool solutions popping up around hosting personal apps. On the front page this week was Capsule (https://withcapsule.app/). My personal solution is Exhibit (https://github.com/momja/Exhibit) which also has the goal of being a self-hostable artifact store.

When I read about this project, it doesn’t seem like concurrency is much of a concern. I think it’s _supposed_ to be treated like sharing a document with someone else.

If a capsule is a recipe, like in one of the examples, that’s pretty cool. If a capsule is a recipe _manager_, then I think it would get messy.

Not trying to plug myself, but I’ve been working on a similar project for this exact reason. It doesn’t use special file types. Just HTML and localStorage proxies to sync devices.

It’s self-hostable too. I’ve got a bunch of super niche todo lists and personal apps running on my home server with it.

I wonder how much better a harness could get for drawing

I think a lot better

- the best image related stuff I've seen is where the harness is constantly cropping and looking closer at things (likely helps a lot for computer vision in general) - also it would be interesting because the harness could almost have its own "palette" as if it could play with blank squares and different strokes over lapping or blending before applying to the main canvas

I'm surprised that the harness wasn't better described here. Is the draw tool really just asking LLMs to provide a set of coordinates/parameters for generating shapes? Honestly, if so, the results are shockingly good. Think of how well a typical human artist would do with such a crude method of applying brushstrokes.

This article has nothing to do with sitting.

I read it sitting. Does that count?
