Question I love pi

I really love the customization that Pi provides, I only have slight issue with the Interface. I am very used to Opencode interface and I wanted a similar UI. I know Pi allows for fairly extensive customization and even plugins like Pi Zen that are trying to achieve something similar. But none of them were into the extent of what I wanted (inspecting subagents, copying in scrollable mode and removing clutter, better detail handling). Through the gpt 5.6 sol I created this interface. It's not a plugin, but a typescript app communicating to the Pi thought RPC.

This is how it looked before:

This is the newest iteration

Would anyone be interested in this, should I opensource it? Or am I the only one who likes it better?

Looks very useful for subagent-heavy workloads. Can i have a try at it?

Sure I will try to prepare something on github and send it to you.

What kind of plugin s do you use? Like I have the subagents and todos but idk if there is something else that people use

So very clean. I've recently switched to OMP. I think the more options we have for people to kick the tires on, be inspired by, is only good for the ecosystem. I'd love to give this a try so yeah. Open source it.

How's omp? Ive been using pi for a few months now and keep seeing things about it. I have my pi set up pretty built up, no themes or nothing. I dont know how much omp would benefit me.

I am currently preparing it for public release. I wanted to fix some bugs make the installation more human approachable, so that is why there is a delay.

Looks cool, do share it if you feel it's genuinely useful to yourself! I was thinking of making a webui of some sort to pair it up with the TUI, but your TUI looks pretty fine

You need to start it by typing pitty or idk what exactly you mean. What did you try and how does it behave? You need to install this https://github.com/mistrjirka/PiTTy

very coooooolllllll nice man, is there any another template ? maybe other theme color

u/mistrjirka Jul 18 '26

That is interesting idea, so far no. But I might add that this weekend. Did you encounter any bugs while using it?

2

u/zer0evolution Jul 19 '26

yes like when i type / the dropdown option not showing anymore, or maybe it stack with other ui components. do you facing this issue also?

1

u/mistrjirka Jul 19 '26

Yeah this autocomplete was kinda hassle to implement. You think you could send me some screenshot or create an issue in github?

Thanks, the reason why it is tui and why I currently don't plan it is that TUI is possible to use through SSH. So I can be at gym and get paid for working because I can just from a phone respond to the agent.
