Built an open source local first Kanban workflow for running AI coding agents without babysitting every step

I’ve been building BatonBot, a local first app for running AI coding workflows with less babysitting.

The problem I kept running into, especially with local models, is that coding agents can be useful but the workflow gets slow:

start task → wait → check output → fix next issue → run another step → wait again.

BatonBot is my attempt to make that more hands off. You set up coding tasks, hand them off to agents, track progress visually in a Kanban-style board, and come back later to see what finished, failed, or needs review.

It’s aimed at people using local or semi-local AI coding workflows with tools like Aider, Cline, Roo, Codex CLI, Claude Code, local LLMs, or mixed providers.

I would mean a lot to me if the members from this community would pitch in/give me feedback.
