    If I understand your question correctly - Cline and Roo both display diffs by using built-in VS Code components, while Cursor/Windsurf/Void have built their own custom UI to displa…

    Big fan of Continue btw! There's a small difference in how we handle inline edits - if you've used inline edits in Cursor/Windsurf/Void you'll notice that a box appears above the t…

    I really wonder why dynamic learning hasn't been explored more. It would be a huge moat for the labs (everyone would have to host and dynamically train their own model with a major…

    Local models just aren't there yet in terms of being able to host locally on your laptop without extra hardware. We're hoping that one of the big labs will distill an ~8B to ~32B p…

    This is a great suggestion. We're actually storing the input/output costs of most models, but aren't computing cost estimates yet. Definitely something to add. My only hesitation i…

    You're right that extensions do manage fine - the main differences right now are UX improvements (many of them are mentioned above). I can see the differences compounding at some p…

    The extensions API lets you control the sidebar, but you basically don't have control over anything in the editor. We wouldn't have been able to build our inline edit feature, or o…

    Void actually launched before the Windsurf IDE existed! http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42127882 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41563958

    Thanks for the suggestions - these issues have been a bit painful for us, and we will probably fix them in the next major update to Void. Believe it or not, the logo similarity was…

    This is a good question. Because we're open source, we will always allow you to host models locally for free, or use your own API key. This makes monetization a bit difficult in th…

    One of the founders here - Void will always remain open source! There are plenty of examples of an open source alternative finding its own niche (eg Supabase, Mattermost) and we do…

    We do have a linux build! (the link is at the bottom of the download page). Some systems are a bit finicky so we give more options on setting it up.

    We've been holding off on this until Void is out of Beta.

    We did a smaller launch a few days ago, but we've actually made a lot of changes to our github contributing page, website, logo since then (based on the feedback). Just trying to s…

    We plan on selling to enterprise companies. We know a lot of companies want to keep their repos private and so we offer them on-prem hosting options. Closed source tools can't real…

    One feature you could add is allowing the user to map changes in the concatenated file back to the original files. For example, if an LLM edits the concatenated file, I would want …
