Yeah, I tried to use this clone of pi for a while and its very, very broken.

First of all it wouldn't build, I have to mess around with git sub-modules to get it building.

Then trying to use it. First of all the scrolling behavior is broken. You cannot scroll properly when there are lots of tool outputs, the window freezes. I also ended up with lots of weird UI bugs when trying to use slash commands. Sometimes they stop the window scrolling, sometimes the slash commands don't even show at all.

The general text output is flaky, how it shows results of tools, the formatting, the colors, whether it auto-scrolls or gets stuck is all very weird and broken.

You can easily force it into a broken state by just running lots of tool calls, then the UI just freezes up.

But just try it and see for yourself...
