Use any vibe coding CLI and get some tools around it to quickly edit files or see images, videos, listen to audio. When even VS Code is too heavy. Offers a customizable project tree for all 100+ projects you created this week alone XD

What it does: Needlecast allows you to organize your AI projects into a tree, making it easier to switch between them. It simplifies the process of executing build commands, browsing and editing project files directly within the application. No need for multiple extra terminals or zellij/tmux, etc.

Key Features:

  • Project Management: Organize projects into color-coded groups with a tree-style sidebar for intuitive navigation.
  • Editor: Quick edits of text files
  • Integrated Media viewer: View your AI generated assets (audio, images, videos) directly in the application
  • Fuzzy Project Switcher: Quickly find and switch between projects across all groups using a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+P).
  • Git Integration: Stay informed about the git branch and whether files are dirty for each project.
  • File Explorer: An integrated file explorer that automatically adapts to the active project's directory for seamless file browsing and editing.
  • Command Execution: Auto-detects build tools across 14 language ecosystems (Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, C#, F#, PHP, etc.) and runs build commands without manual configuration.
  • Environment Variables: Inject environment variables per project directly into commands and terminals.
  • File Watcher: Automatically refreshes the command list when build files are modified.

Who it is for: Needlecast is for software developers using AI CLIs who work on multiple projects and require an efficient graphical way to manage their development environment.

Main Problem Solved: A project tree offers more flexibility to organize the projects than a pure list. Also it adds an text editor and multi media viewer to quickly have an overview about what's going in in the projects. Think of a cross-over of plain CLI and full-fledge IDE. It is neither one, but tries to be in the useful middle.

Benefits: With Needlecast, developers can expect to improve their productivity and maintain better organization and visibility over their codebase and development processes.
