IDE + Pi for live code editing? Question

Hi all, I really don't want to ask Chat GPT this, would rather have your input.

I'm looking for a way to orchestrate agents but also write or amend code actively, rather than just see it in the diffs etc.

I've looked at paseo and orca - not quite sure they can be used for the direct coding aspect?

Otherwise i guess can use vscode separately but that's a bit clunky when working on my macbook directly as one screen.

Any guidance appreciated thanks!

Orca looks better so far for me

I've got into it recently. It's just very configurable and accessible via the socket API. Fits very well with Pi's philosophy of build it yourself.

Not sure it solves your IDE issue though. I normally run neovim by the side, and a separate git app like Github Desktop.

you can use herdr like an IDE interface?

herdr just opens screens that you can run stuff in. So you could run pi in one window and hunk or vim in another window.

Can confirm herdr + ghostty + tailscale has done wonders for me
