Today's Hacker News had a few interesting new projects worth highlighting: a tool that unifies multiple AI coding agents under one interface, a clever hack to use GPU VRAM as system memory, and a framework that lets coding agents run tasks in the background.
Paseo — One Interface for All Your Coding Agents
Paseo is an open-source project that solves a practical problem: if you use Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot simultaneously, each has its own CLI and interface. Paseo brings them together into a single UI, accessible via desktop, mobile, web, and CLI.
Key features: self-hosted deployment — agents run on your machine with your dev environment and configs. Voice input support for dictating tasks. Scan a QR code on your phone to connect to your home dev machine and check agent progress on the go. No telemetry, no forced sign-ups.
The project is early-stage. HN comments noted the UI is still basic (default Tailwind styling), but the core value proposition is solid — especially if you juggle two or three different coding agents regularly.
nbd-vram — Use Your GPU's VRAM as Linux Swap Space
This one has an unusual approach: treat your NVIDIA GPU's VRAM as swap memory for Linux.
The backstory: many laptops have soldered, non-upgradeable RAM. If you have an RTX card with 8GB of VRAM sitting idle while your system is swapping to SSD, nbd-vram puts that memory to work.
Rather than using NVIDIA's P2P API (locked on consumer GPUs), it allocates VRAM via the CUDA driver API and exposes it as a block device through the NBD (Network Block Device) protocol. No kernel module needed, no NVIDIA kernel symbols dependency, survives driver and kernel updates without recompilation.
The author tested on an RTX 3070 laptop: 7GB allocated for swap, combined with zram and SSD swap, addressable memory reached ~46GB. Data flow: RAM fills up → VRAM absorbs spill (PCIe speed) → zram compresses → SSD as last resort.
Limitations exist — VRAM competes with GPU compute tasks, and PCIe bandwidth is lower than direct memory. But for laptops with soldered RAM that constantly OOM, this is a practical workaround.
Clor — Give Your Coding Agent Background Execution
Clor (from "claws") lets coding agents run tasks in the background or on a schedule, rather than only responding to manual prompts.
Claws agents reuse your existing MCP servers, CLI tools, and skill configurations. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and others. The CLI toolbox covers inference, deployment, and monitoring scenarios.
The author built an agent coding platform used by hundreds of thousands of people at a previous job, and found existing open-source options lacking in security and reliability — which led to creating Clor.
For developers, this means you can have agents running tests, fixing lint errors, and updating dependencies while you sleep, instead of manually issuing commands each time.
All three projects are fresh from today's HN and have been added to the navigation directory. Paseo suits developers using multiple coding agents, nbd-vram helps laptops with soldered RAM, and Clor fits teams wanting more autonomous agent workflows.
