Hey HN! I'm Louis, one of the creators of Vibe Kanban.

We started working on this a few weeks ago. Personally, I was feeling pretty useless working synchronously with coding agents. The 2-5 minutes that they take to complete their work often led me to distraction and doomscrolling.

But there's plenty of productive work that we (human engineers) could be doing in that time, especially if we run coding agents in the background and parallelise them.

Vibe Kanban lets you effortlessly spin up multiple coding agents. While some agents handle tasks in the background, you can focus on planning future work or reviewing completed tasks.

After a few weeks of internal dog fooding and sharing it with friends, we've now open-sourced Vibe Kanban, and it's stable enough for day-to-day use.

I'd love to hear your feedback, feel free to open an issue on the github and we'll respond ASAP.

I built something similar for my own workflow. Works okay. The hard part is as you scale, you end up with compounded false affirmatives. Model adds some fallback mechanism that makes it work, tests pass, etc. The nice part is you can ask models to review the code from others, call out fallbacks, hard coding, stuff like that. It does a good job at identifying buried bodies. But if you dig up a buried body, I'd manually confirm it was properly disposed of as the models usually hid the body in the first place because they needed some input they didn't have, got confused or ran into an issue.
