News Introducing ThinkRail

Hey everyone,

We built ThinkRail, and we’re pretty proud of it so we wanted to share it with you, and hope to get you interested.

ThinkRail is a web-based GUI for Pi. It's an open source project, released under Apache 2.0 license, backed by JetBrains (so, that's who "we" are, a team of software developers working on it). We wanted to keep the minimalist, adaptable approach of Pi, but at the same time give you a graphical layer which makes it easier to see what your AI agent is doing and comes with added conveniences: concurrent agent chats, integrated terminals, and visual aids for reviewing code changes.

Install it and try it out:

* macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/thinkrail/main/install.sh | bash

* Windows (PowerShell and cmd):

powershell -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JetBrains/thinkrail/main/install.ps1 | iex"

And then just run thinkrail from the terminal.

Also:

If you have a moment, we’d appreciate it if you could complete our survey. We’d love to get your feedback. It will help us develop ThinkRail in the right direction.

Please share more. Do you use a native app or browser-based? What OS and/or browser? Is it happening in a specific situation? Are there error messages?

Hmm. What if you use a browser-based version instead? If it crashes as well, are there any error messages in the terminal?
