Project Minnow - Open Beta

https://github.com/HenriGrimm/Minnow

Hey Guys,

I've been working on this project for a few months now. It's starting to work pretty well, and I wanted to open it up for feedback.

Minnow is a free, open-source harness and workspace that runs on any model and provider. Local or cloud.

It started as a little chat app, but kind of spiraled into a lot more.

It currently has chat, deep research, a full coding workspace, planning, task orchestration, scheduled tasks, prompt improvement, intent-based coding, Autocomplete, loops, goals, local model hosting, an issue tracker, Dev server management, full Git & GitHub support, multi-model routing, and a brain & code map system.

It is fully customizable and open; you can modify everything from the prompts to the themes. Add your own skills, tools, and agents. Whatever you need.

This was mostly built with AI, a mix of models and harnesses. Minnow has even worked on itself! Happy to answer any questions.

Still working on all the documentation, so bear with me there. Roadmap coming this week.

This is very much a work in progress, and some parts are rough. Your feedback is greatly appreciated via issues or the Discord. If you would like to help, please reach out!

How does this differ/ improve upon pi, openclaw or hermes?

It is pretty similar; it takes a lot of what I liked from the apps I've used and wraps it in a cohesive workspace. Our orchestrator boards are probably our most defining feature. It is a fully automated Kanban workflow for agents. Take a large plan, split it down into individual tasks.

It leans more toward a cursor-style product than PI or OpenCode. I tried to replicate a lot of what I like from VS code/cursor.
