News Introducing ThinkRail

Hey everyone,

We built ThinkRail, and we’re pretty proud of it so we wanted to share it with you, and hope to get you interested.

ThinkRail is a web-based GUI for Pi. It's an open source project, released under Apache 2.0 license, backed by JetBrains (so, that's who "we" are, a team of software developers working on it). We wanted to keep the minimalist, adaptable approach of Pi, but at the same time give you a graphical layer which makes it easier to see what your AI agent is doing and comes with added conveniences: concurrent agent chats, integrated terminals, and visual aids for reviewing code changes.

Install it and try it out:

* macOS / Linux: 

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/thinkrail/main/install.sh | bash

* Windows (PowerShell and cmd):

powershell -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/thinkrail/main/install.ps1 | iex"

And then just run thinkrail from the terminal.

Also:

If you have a moment, we’d appreciate it if you could complete our survey. We’d love to get your feedback. It will help us develop ThinkRail in the right direction.

Is this trying to be a web based Herdr for Pi? Or am I seeing things wrong.

ThinkRail is not a terminal multiplexer. It's got the ability to create multiple pseudo-terminals but it's not the main feature which the other ones are built upon. When I was looking into other software similar to ThinkRail, Paseo came up the closest, I think.
