I think a good use of time while waiting for an LLM is to ask another LLM for something. Until then Slack will do :)

This is completely true, and it's a really common objection. I don't imagine people will want to fully visualize codebases in a giant unified diagram, but I find it hard to imagine…

I should have been more careful with my wording - I was talking about major VS Code-based IDEs as alternatives. Zed is very impressive, and we've been following them since before V…

Thanks for writing! Can you try mentioning the file with "@"? Smaller models sometimes don't realize that they should look for files and folders, but "@" always gives the full cont…

Just want to share our thinking on terminal-based tools! We think in 1-2 years people will write code at a systems level, not a function level, and it's not clear to us that you ca…

Yep, Void is a VSCode fork, but we're definitely not wed to VSCode! Building our own IDE/browser-port is not out of the picture. We'll have to see where the next iteration of tool-…

We considered Theia, and even building our own IDE, but obviously VSCode is just the most popular. Theia might be a good play if Microsoft gets more aggressive about VSCode forks, …

Agreed - this is one of the better solutions today.

This is a good point.We've stayed away from documentation assuming that it's more of a browser agent task, and I agree with other commenters that this would make a good MCP integra…

Thanks for the feedback. We'll definitely add a feature list. To answer your question, yes - we support Cursor's features (quick edits, agent mode, chat, inline edits, links to fil…

Interesting, thanks for sharing! We planned on spinning up a new Git branch and shallow Git clone (or possibly worktree/something more optimized) for each agent, and also adding a …

We think terminal tools like Claude Code are a good way for research teams to experiment with tool use (obviously pure text), but definitely don't see the terminal as the endgame f…

Continue is doing great work, but they're an extension (plugin)!

Yes, you can bring OpenRouter or any other provider and connect directly! (We don't route your messages through a backend like others).

Void dev here! The biggest players in AI code today are full IDEs, not just extensions, and we think that's because they simply feel better to use by having more control over the U…

Void dev here! As others have mentioned, VSCode strongly limits the functionality that you can build as an extension. A few things we've built that aren't supported as an extension…

> I’d love a good summary on why Cursor, Void (and I assume other tools) decided to build new editors instead of just extending the incumbents (VSCode extension, Jetbrains plugins)…

Hey, great question - you're right, extensions are more accessible - the thing is, there is no great way to build the native UI we'd want using them. For example, displaying the be…

Thanks for sharing! If Theia is built on top of monaco, I wonder if a form of one-click switch might work. The monaco editor is theoretically part of the vscode repo, while the "wo…

Hey HN, I'm Andrew, one of the creators of Void. I made this open source version of Cursor where you can get all of Cursor's core features but in a fully-customizable IDE (ctrl+k, …

Pear consists largely of a VS Code extension built on top of Continue.dev's VS Code extension. We're building a more native integration into the VS Code editor, similar to Cursor. …
