ui: Add workspace sort/group controls, compact view, and auto-title#51
Merged
Conversation
Users with many workspaces need better ways to organize and scan them. Add an opt-in toolbar with sort (activity/repo/created), group (time/repo/status/none), and density (comfortable/compact) controls. The default view (activity + time + comfortable) is unchanged so existing users see no difference. The compact density mode shows one line per workspace with a status dot, title, repo badge, activity indicator, and relative timestamp — significantly reducing scrolling. Preferences persist in localStorage across page reloads. Assisted-by: OpenCode (claude-opus-4-6) Signed-off-by: arewm <arewm@users.noreply.github.com>
When launching a workspace, a new 'Auto-generate title from task' checkbox (on by default) derives a short title from the first ~50 characters of the task at a word boundary. This makes workspaces identifiable at a glance without requiring manual naming. Plumbs the title through RunRequest -> `devaipod run --title` -> the io.devaipod.title pod label. Adds the missing --title flag to the Run CLI subcommand (already present on Up). Assisted-by: OpenCode (claude-opus-4-6) Signed-off-by: arewm <arewm@users.noreply.github.com>

I wanted additional configurations for being able to sort the workspaces. The two key changes here, in my opinion, is enabling an auto-labeling of workspaces and addition of a compact view. The additional filters/grouping can be helpful too, but more-so in conjunction with that other functionality. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yes, I have a rework of this coming in the workspace-v2 branch which is aiming to have a UI closer to the new Cursor agents panel (https://cursor.com/changelog/3-0 ).
But that's fine the branch will take a bit to sort through and I can just resolve conflicts

With many workspaces the pods page becomes hard to scan — too much
scrolling, no logical grouping, and workspaces are hard to tell apart
without reading the full task text.
This adds opt-in sort (activity/repo/created), group
(time/repo/status/none), and density (comfortable/compact) controls
to the pods page. The default view is unchanged. The "status" grouping
surfaces a "Needs Attention" category for idle workspaces that may
need user input. Preferences persist in localStorage.
The launch form now auto-generates a short title from the task text
so workspaces are identifiable at a glance without manual naming.
This required plumbing
--titlethrough to therunCLI subcommand,which was already supported by
up.
