We built an agent-first task management system because legacy tools weren't cutting it We've been building with AI coding agents daily, and task management kept being a friction point. Markdown file collections, bolted-on MCPs for Jira/Linear, sluggish APIs — or just having agents create work items directly, bypassing whatever UI we were supposedly using. These tools were never designed with agents in mind. So we rethought it from scratch: agent-first, minimal clutter, built around what you and your agent actually need. The result is Tokanban — simple, scalable, performant, and free. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47787943 Points: 2 # Comments: 0

Hi HN! I recently switched from a Fedora/GNOME laptop to a MacBook Air. My old setup served me well as a portable workstation, but I’ve started traveling more while working remotely and needed something with similar performance but better battery life. The main thing I missed was a simple taskbar that shows the windows in the current workspace instead of a Dock that mixes everything together. I built boringBar so I would not have to use the Dock. It shows only the windows in the current Space, lets you switch Spaces by scrolling on the bar, and adds a desktop switcher so you can jump directly to any Space. You can also hide the system Dock, pin apps, preview windows with thumbnails, and launch apps from a searchable menu (I keep Spotlight disabled because for some reason it uses a lot of system resources on my machine). I’ve been dogfooding it for a few months now, and it finally felt polished enough to share. It’s for people who like macOS but want window management to feel a bit more like GNOME, Windows, or a traditional taskbar. It’s also for people like me who wanted an easier transition to macOS, especially now that Windows feels increasingly user-hostile. I’d love feedback on the UX, bugs, and whether this solves the same Dock/Spaces pain for anyone else. P.S. It might also appeal to people who feel nostalgic for the GNOME 2 desktop of yore. I started my Linux journey with it, and boringBar brings back some of that feeling for me. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47742200 Points: 165 # Comments: 105
