It was recommended in 8 of 13 months; owners who said how long report a median of 0.17 years (4 owners). It meets the Hacker Approved badge rule. **Verdict:** Developers use it to run many worktree-based coding agents in parallel, and to resume sessions easily. Critics cite lag, rendering glitches and opinionated workflows. ## Why people recommend it - Runs many worktrees in parallel (7 comments): "It's built exactly around my workflow with many worktrees in various repos open at the same time" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48237253)) "this is a drop-in terminal replacement that'll make it easier for you to run them in parallel" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46433693)) "I find when working in a worktree the agent has a much easier time solving merge conflicts" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48251026)) - Flexible across CLI agent harnesses (5 comments): "it's really nice to be able to use the native Codex/Claude Code TUIs without any of the bloat" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48239050)) "As a terminal first we give you the flexibility to work between the different CLI agents" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48243594)) "Superset will be a good alternative for someone who is using only ClaudeCode or CLIs" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46429299)) - Sessions persist and resume easily (4 comments): "we've put a lot of time into giving a good terminal experience, with baked in notifications and a daemon that runs in the background" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48251054)) "I can switch context much easier and can also resume working on something days later" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48242262)) "The background service keeping the terminals alive is lovely stuff." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48281323)) - Agents run on remote machines (3 comments): "The frontend/backend are decoupled so you can run the agents on a totally separate machine than the GUI is running." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48239451)) "exactly what I've been looking for a while now, especially the remote dev box part" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48240117)) "Binding the shell local git clone automatically feels like the future." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48237152)) ## What people warn about - Lag, slowness and rendering glitches (4 comments): "in long running terminal sessions I'm getting rendering issues. Like some characters show as something else." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48242352)) "we really messed up on the performance and balancing that with more features" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48238136)) "Very excited about the remote workspaces! ... the typing is quite laggy" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48242450)) - Opinionated toward specific workflows (2 comments): "I've tried superset + conductor and those have some improvements but are opinionated towards a specific set of workflows" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47503614)) "seemed like way overkill / unintuitive to use agents like I prefer" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49212953)) - Unclear value; solves few problems (3 comments): "I think it still needs to solve more issues whan just filesystem conflicts." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46424131)) "I also watched the demo video, and I don't understand the value here." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46427667)) "Still misses entirely the way software is constructed." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48243106)) - Expensive for what it offers (3 comments): "It is really hard to justify tools like these" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46428989)) "taxing it 20$/m is a bit steep" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48237281)) "10x the cost with 0 to show" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46434006)) ## Alternatives hackers recommend - [Conductor](https://hackerapproved.com/p/conductor.md): 58 recommend - [AX by Google](https://hackerapproved.com/p/ax.md): 15 recommend - [ctx](https://hackerapproved.com/p/ctx.md): 13 recommend - [Zenflow](https://hackerapproved.com/p/zenflow.md): 13 recommend - [Vibe Kanban](https://hackerapproved.com/p/vibe-kanban.md): 11 recommend ## Where to get it - [Visit the official site](https://paradev.com/) ## Cite as Hacker Approved, "Superset", https://hackerapproved.com/p/superset/ (counts from 1,795,640 Hacker News comments, November 2025 to November 2026).
