I see the need for such a tool. I just ask myself: why should I use a brand-new vibe-coded tool if I can just vibe-code my own? One that's fine-tuned exactly for my use case?

That's not a rant against Wallfacer. It's just an observation about the state of the open-source world in 2026...

In a world where code is cheap, code no longer equals effort. These days, I see consistency, attention to detail, long term support, and community engagement as the signals to read. Not to say this project will never become that, as it may! However until I see those signals as a clear sign of momentum, it's just noise.

This is exactly what I did. I create tooling to make it easier for me to manage multiple multi-project swarms across multiple clis (claude, codex, opencode), with queuing, and team sharing.

It was.. surprisingly a little bit under a day's work. It's now heavily tied into our way of working and thinking. This is the upside of the current world.

What used to be time spent in personal, throwaway(ish) shell scripting has now become the same, but for more full fledged tooling. It doesn't need to be consumable by others - but it does need to make my/our life/ves better

isn't this the open source dream? Fork it and make it your own
