Yeah, I think as agents become more capable, more isolation will be necessary. Hence, I also agree that either containers or VMs will eventually be required. We can see how tools like Cursor already have a built-in browser so that the agent can "see" (probably as text for now) what component you want to modify. In the future, I believe the workflow for an agent will be something like: [make changes] -> [get user input] -> [take a screenshot] -> [process the screenshot and user input] -> [make changes].
I doubt something like this can be implemented easily in a single environment without running into client and server port issues, etc.
I personally have had a frustrating experience with GitButler, and would prefer if things don't become too complicated. For example, when you accidentally break GitButler, it can become really difficult to recover all your unpushed progress. It is also hard to find the exact location of where your code changes are stored across different branches.
My suggestion would be to keep things simple, pragmatic, and save development time. While git worktrees are not perfect, and they require extra space, it is easier for people to understand and easily locate this kind of structure while also being able to execute commands in a somewhat isolated environment. I would be happy if the app simply automates this for me and creates a new worktree, branch, and agent at that location as soon as I click 'Add agent'.
Then the only issues become merge conflicts between different branches... this is where extra dev time could be allocated, and implement agents that automatically merge branches.
I really like this, and I think you could even add some LLM features in there for more natural conversations.
The biggest issue I have is that it is a bit weird putting our startup ideas into someone else server. Is this open-source so we can self host? The central db for questions could still be curated by you in the repo, we would just pull to update the questions on our end. For new questions we would make PRs. You still decide which questions are good.
This is super nice. It works smoothly on mobile as well. Are there any tools you recommend for finding the coordinates by street address or business name?
