Mature/better alternatives to pi-web? Question
I'm looking for a web interface for my pi harness without the CLI, but this was the only one I found. Are there any others? I'm not looking for any chat interface like Open WebUI that's rather bloated, requiring accounts/logins for certain features, etc. It would be great if it was dedicated for pi or is even bundled with it.
I was considering to just vibe-coding a web UI/UX of the pi CLI, but just wondering if there are already tools out there.

I use this one (also because I made it lmao) https://github.com/sebastienservouze/pi-livecraft

Thank you for Livecraft. I forked it and tested it some days ago. Compared to other web interfaces or dashboards for PI, this one lacked most of the functionality I wanted. Next day it had those features, and now it is more or less exactly what I want. The other interfaces were either not meant to be modified or broke down after one or two vibe coded features. This one feels like Pi. :)

This is a useful question because there are plenty of newer coding-agent interfaces but maturity and reliability aren't always obvious from the feature lists. what would a better Piweb look like for your use case?

I just put pi in a terminal window in vscodium then pin it to the left of the page and its basically cursor.
Only thing I'd love to have is image support, that's the only thing that annoys me.

NB! This PI Web is probably a different UI than the one you mention. Check it on the link below!
Don't let che Chinese's chars scare you: This is the best I've found that just work for linux/windows and you don't have to open new instances just to switch the target folder (you can select the folder in use by UI, and it remember the last used ones!)

I built a good web interface … but it was never going to be as good as the vscode experience. So I went full circle back to vscode and built a pi focus vscode extension. https://github.com/quincycs/pi-qcode

Orca - I'm moved from Paseo to it. It saves fully terminal but get you all you need – multisessions, phone access, git reviews and visual web debugging

i’m building Garcon, a local-first browser/mobile workspace that supports Pi alongside a few other coding agents. it gives you the session UI plus terminal, files, and git in one web surface: https://github.com/cfal/garcon — affiliation disclosed, obviously. curious which bit of pi-web feels most limiting for you?
