   Nice, great minds think alike! Not having vendor lock in and being flexible to use multiple providers and models gives us the most flexibility. The investments put into the CLI tools and what they can do are also amazing, I love using them.

   Hey there, actually I started using Tauri, but eventually ran into performance issues and found Electron more mature, easier to achieve at least for me.

   Great call out! Yes I have tried to follow these, to make Consensus compliant with OpenRouter's prompt caching best practices.

   What's great about OpenRouter is you have access to all providers and models and they do the work of standardizing the interface. Our new HiveTechs Consensus IDE configures 8 profiles for you and your AI conversations, each using its own LLM from OpenRouter and unlimited custom profiles, you pick the providers and LLM's from a list and name the profile. Also, we have our own built in HiveTechs CLI that gives you the ability to use any LLM from OpenRouter, updated daily. So the moment a new model drops, you can test it out without waiting for it to release in your other favorite apps.

   Hey, I fully understand. A model or CLI like Gemini releases a new version and it seems like a new place to call home. However, in this time of AI growth, each providers new advancements are reason to make a change, today for you Gemini, perhaps next week, Claude or OpenAI. With HiveTechs Consensus you have use of every leading provider at all times, so use the one you love and compare others any time. You may discover that Gemini excels in frontend but Claude and its latest model excels at backend, reducing your development time.

   No this is not a fork, I built it from scratch. It is not intended to be used with vscode extensions. Its an Electron app. Desktop Framework

     - Electron - Desktop app with
     main/renderer process
     architecture
     - TypeScript - Primary language
     (strict mode)
   
     Frontend/UI
   
     - Monaco Editor - VS Code-style
     code editing
     - HTML/CSS - UI rendering
     - WebSockets - Real-time
     communication with backend
   
     Backend Services
   
     - Node.js - Runtime
     - Express - Memory Service API
     server
     - SQLite - Local database for
     memory persistence
     - Cloudflare D1 - Remote sync for
      memory backup

   Show HN: I got tired of switching AI tools, so I built an IDE with 11 of them
