Show HN: Noter – AI agent dashboard for monitoring coding harnesses locally

Noter is an AI agent dashboard that allows developers to monitor coding harnesses locally. It provides tools for tracking and managing AI agent performance during local development.

Background

Show HN is a regular feature on Hacker News (HN), a tech-community site run by Y Combinator, where founders can share side projects or startups for feedback. "Noter" is the creator's own AI-powered dashboard that runs locally on a developer's machine — no data sent to the cloud. It monitors "coding harnesses," meaning the test rigs, evaluators, or scaffolding used to run and assess AI coding agents (e.g., SWE-bench). The pitch: instead of watching agent output via terminal logs, you get a visual dashboard showing agent actions, cost, and progress in real time. This matters because running LLM-based coding agents locally is increasingly common, but debugging and monitoring them is still awkward; tools like this aim to make local AI agent workflows as observable as a web app.
