What Hacker News says

30 sources
A new type of development environment for working with agents https://github.com/stravu/crystal It supports Claude Code and Codex, but has you constantly working on multiple features in Git worktrees. This way you are always able to stay busy while waiting on your agents. It has built in tools for review, such as a diff viewer, and a quick button to run your application in different worktrees for testing. It has completely transformed the way I work.
