I've been working on Chroncal for the past weeks, an open source TUI/CLI with iCalendar (RFC 5545) support and CalDAV sync, using SQLite to store the data. My main goal is to make it easy for LLMs to auto-discover the CLI commands and access the database, while providing a nice TUI for the user (and I also found it paired very well with Omarchy, so, I also made a plugin to integrate in on Quickshell: https://github.com/DouglasdeMoura/chroncal-bar ).

Rudder is a local Codex/Claude Code plugin that captures your specs and your coding agent session history to force your agent to rewrite unit tests exclusively from your expressed intent. This turns unit test coverage into a proxy for what percent of the code actually comes from decisions you've made and lets you see how much of your agent's generated code is uncovered by your spec. After showing you an initial coverage percentage, Rudder prompts you with targeted questions to increase coverage to your goal target and runs a red-green test driven development flow to get you up to your goal.

No one thinks linearly, yet current LLM interfaces still force you to, and it sucks. So I built llmcanvas.chat. The name says it all; you can branch, regenerate across models and compare: all in one infinite canvas. Every prompt and response is a node in the canvas and it brings ultimate flexibility on how you interact with the LLM, while keeping the old-school way of chatting linearly. Bring your own keys, 4 providers supported: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and OpenRouter. Try it: llmcanvas.chat. I'd love to hear your feedback.
