screen kept garbling my sessions and tmux felt like too much. So I built boo, a screen-style multiplexer on @mitchellh's libghostty. Sessions survive disconnects, a TUI to hop between them, and agents keep running when you close the terminal. github.com/coder/boo

Just published some notes on httpjail - this is a really interesting new sandboxing project, it lets you run a process (on macOS or Linux or in Docker) with strict restrictions on what outbound HTTP requests it can make, specified as JS or a shell script simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/1…
