Hi Everyone, I wanted to share some designs and progress we're making on the Conversation UX Improvements project on our roadmap. ➡️ Designs can be found here This project is focused on improving the overall look and feel and usability of OpenHands, including things like: • Ability to open/close the Action Panel • Expanding the Input Area so you have a bigger input canvas to enter text • Git controls that are always visible for pushing to a branch or creating a PR • A simpler and more streamlined home page for connecting to a repo, or starting a new convo from scratch. We're open to your feedback as we start to work towards these changes. I also recognize I need to do more to make this project work more visible in the OSS community, and I will make sure we communicate more effectively going forward. CC and kudos to @breezy-kilobyte-39430 who has been helping us with this project!

Thank you @elegant-branch-54423! I’m excited about the improvements

is anyone connecting to the vscode server inside OpenHands directly from their host OS VS code? it's the only other tab I look at, plus the chat threads, and always wonder why they are stuck together? random (bad) idea: multiple sessions UI, so I can see a "testing conversation" and a "feature dev" conversation, both at the same time; right now I jump through hoops opening different browser tabs, move chrome windows around, to achieve this; which feels cumbersome most swe-agents appear to show only one thread at a time, but, but, the reality for me is I shift back and forth, because I can read faster than I write, and because OpenHands works faster than I do 🙂 (and in the background), so I would imagine a power-user core workflow needing to manage multiple conversations in parallel, I believe https://www.vibekanban.com/ was floated around for inspiration also reality: I work on multiple subsystems that have high-coupling between each other, and my current project has 4, which means I entertain up to 8 concurrent threads, especially during system-wide refactoring when I update/change/deco/add a cross-concern. it's a mess, and I really very much appreciate any radical UX intervention here, as I believe it's this kind of value that will make the OpenHands product more usable, useful, and ultimately used

@polite-architect-52194 Mind putting this in another channel for product ideas? @elegant-branch-54423
