Show HN: Obeya, a spatial canvas for directing coding agents
Yeah, I know, "not another AI GUI rolls eyes ". So let me say upfront: This is not for you if you want to regularly review the code agents produce. But if you, like me, stopped writing code at the beginning of the year and for the most part stopped reading it a few months ago, you are my target audience, and I think there's a good chance you'll benefit from this. I love directing agents to build stuff. But oh, can you get lost in parallel coding sessions. Just walls of text. Cycling th

Observed adoption & comparisons
Source votes: 4 votes (Nov 11, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication); previous same-scope observation: 4 (Nov 11, 2026 UTC). These observations do not establish demand growth. Recent records to compare: “addyosmani/agent-skills” (GitHub Trending, Nov 12, 2026); “meta/astryx” (GitHub Trending, Nov 12, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Adoption decision
Evaluate it against the tool or manual workflow it would replace. The stored record supports discovery; it does not yet establish reliability, lower operating cost or commercial adoption.
Unverified requirements
Not verified: license permissions, required hardware, installation steps, maintenance status and a representative task with its failure cases.
Next test
Choose one real task and a current alternative. Record the commit, environment, input, output, elapsed time and failure behavior; retain the result before recommending adoption.
