Show HN: Arc Browser + Agents IDE
ArcNext is a terminal emulator integrated with the Arc browser, designed for developers working with AI agents. It supports workspaces, split panes, and an embedded browser, enabling seamless interaction between terminals and web content. The tool includes an agent bridge that allows AI agents to observe and control browser sessions directly from the terminal.
- ▪ArcNext combines a terminal and browser in one app, with support for workspaces and split panes.
- ▪AI agents can interact with browser content via the arcnext-bridge CLI when the ARCNEXT_BRIDGE_SOCK environment variable is set.
- ▪The embedded Chromium browser stays up to date to support modern web features like Cloudflare checks.
- ▪Workspaces can be renamed manually or auto-named using AI based on session context.
- ▪Smart Cmd+T uses frecency-based search with autocomplete from directory and web history.
