Show HN: Kill-The-Backlog, self-hosted background agents
Hey all,
I've been quietly working on a background agent runner inspired by Ramp Inspect.
I'm working on closing the loop between prompting, testing, and deploying:
1) You prompt agents to make changes to your projects in a web interface
2) Agents pull your code and make changes in a sandbox
3) Instantly test your changes with preview environments
4) Get a PR back
Appreciate any comments or input!
