Growing up, we played table tennis on a plank and two tin cans. Plywood for bats. We called it “play eggs.”

So I built it.

Play Eggs is live. Beat the street. Lose, and the crowd go shout “Next!” 🏓

Who dey for next?

One of my firm beliefs in this wild age is that scaling the technology we’re “makers/ custodians” of, cannot and should not come at the cost of knowing the humans building the product as well as scaling their personal interests, whatever those may be.

We’re seeing a lot of the product and business scaling. And not much intentional scaling of the human side. It’s often communicated as if it’s simply the cost of doing business.

Introducing Agent Lookout: every coding agent on your computer, on one page.

If you run more than one, you switch tabs, come back 20 minutes later, and one of them has been sitting on a yes-or-no question the whole time.

Less than two weeks ago, someone here asked for something like this. I already had something, so I cleaned it up and published it.

It finds your @claudeai, @OpenAI Codex, @antigravity, @geminicli, @opencode, @Alibaba_Qwen and @mistralvibe on its own.

Free, open source, no account, runs on your own computer.

Try it and tell me what breaks 👇

[I D R I S @olanetsoft]

Agent Lookout just passed 1,100 downloads on npm in its first week 🙏

I built it because I kept losing track of which coding agent was waiting on me. It puts your Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity sessions on one page and shows you which one needs you.

Thank you to everyone who tried it and replied. A lot of what shipped this week came from your feedback.

@riddysolo From plank and two tin cans to a live game, this is beautiful 🏓 Small tip as players grow: if you add leaderboards or prizes, let the server decide who won, not the browser. Na umpire dey count score, no be player 😄
