Having used herdr since its release, the recent 'Emacs is 50' made me decide to go back to it and just vibecode herdr features i use into an emacs package.

It works great so far. I can just ask it to update its layout whenever i think something better is possible. I wont be going back, but the one thing that might change that is a mobile app.

this new herdr app is actually very close to emacs in philosophy. Instead of the C core and lisp runtime herdr has GPUI (rust gpu accelerated UI drawing) and herdr-core which is the agent daemon. There's some vocabulary for spaces tabs panes agents, and js sits on top to define UI/UX. Very little is hard coded, and default app functionality is implemented in the same way that users can customize, and changes hotreload without restart. Almost everything seems to be just js/json just like most emacs is just elisp.

I'd love to give it a spin if you ever publish it.

Another vote for publishing it, would love something like this in Emacs.
