Announcement: Conductor Is Back

Reference: "Conductor is joining Meta" from 8 days ago

It's a multiplayer AI orchestration engine that recently got acquired.

Product was falling behind to competition, already broke our trust once, and still under the meta umbrella.

Good riddance.

What’s Conductor?

I moved on to Herdr and it’s been great https://herdr.dev/

Too late, why would anyone want to go back?

I've taken up T3Code but I genuinely miss some of the out-of-the-box features of Conductor. Conductor makes it so easy to clean up work trees after archiving workspaces. Side chats in T3Code just don't feel as great as the tabs in a workspace in T3Code.

Something that will bring me back to Conductor would be better code navigation. I'm occasionally booting up an IDE just to jump to definitions.

So did something go sideways with Meta?

Let it, and everything meta touches, die.

I already migrated to t3. conductor team made a vibe decision.

I wonder if there will be any product development or if it’s more of an LLMs-keep-the-lights-on situation.

Orca is much better

Termic is a really good open source alternative: https://termic.dev/

Thank you again for your support!

Um...no thank you. Why would anyone trust Meta with anything--especially anything involving agent coordination and super-especially after the sudden shutdown and post-shutdown product Zombifying.

So apparently the weeks worth of work I already did in https://www.github.com/jahala/conducted was useless? Nah, I don't trust Meta anyhow, and they are not getting my data....
