Show HN: Droid ASC – An On-Demand Android Decompiler, 41–269x Faster Than JADX

A few days ago, I was using JADX MCP to analyze my phone, but JADX MCP was just too laggy. I had a large number of APKs to analyze, and nearly every one of them required spinning up a new JADX process. With just two or three of them, my computer ran out of memory. The efficiency was terribly low, so

I built a free, open-source desktop workspace for multiple coding agents

I was juggling Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and other agent apps. My PC felt slow and I kept losing track of which project or session was where. That became CodeInk: a desktop workspace for Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, and ACP agents. It uses your existing agent installs an
