Could you fix your video to not zoom in and out constantly like that? It's pretty hard to tell what's going on when it zooms right in every time you click something, and it's so fast it actually gave me a bit of motion sickness.

i noticed all these new ai-tool launches have this zooming effect. maybe 1.2x zoom is fine, but these usually over-do the zoom like 3x.

instead, an old-school arrow/pointer (or pointer trails like its '98!) would be nicer.

i would 100% pay for non-electron/non-vscode ui (sublime text? anyone?)

nothing specifically against vscode/electron/atom. i did use atom 10 years ago, then started sublime text 2, since then, it has been really hard to beat sublime text. the speed and rendering of sublime is much better.

i also have been using zed, which can be considered cloud-code ui too in certain terms, zed is quite more resource-intensive than the sublime and feels higher latency. (possibly because I use frosty-transparent theme...)

What is your use case that you see UI lag between vscode and sublime? Honestly, I feel zero difference between sublime/vscode/vi. Vscode arguably takes longer to boot up, but that only happens like once a day so it's not a big deal.

I think this is a lot of "I don't like Typescript/Javascript for serious things" or "Electron sucks" posturing rather than an actual tangible difference.

The idea is nice, but the pricing is odd. 20$/month (the cost of Claude Pro) just for a web interface and a sandbox seems very expensive. I hope the business model works out for you, but I doubt the price is justified. Also a better link is: https://1code.dev/ The repo doesn't have screenshots, so you might loose traffic just because of that. Nevertheless, I'll try it out - looks nice!

Thanks for the feedback! On pricing: honestly, the paid tier is less about monetization right now and more about signal. People who pay are the ones who really want this to work, and we want to build for them first. It helps us focus.

Honestly I am pretty frugal usually but respect. I think I read something like this either in some VC idea where people will intentionally raise prices in the start to see if their market is fit as you say (or perhaps I am butchering it, but you put it out wonderfully)

I just hope that in the end, you guys become competitive to things like exe.dev which is what I currently use (for completely free mind you but its in alpha version) but it provides an agent shelly with the web in a sandbox and I think that they are gonna focus on being more competitive in the market and there are multiple of options right now

Though just now I saw that 1code.dev is an YC backed startup and um, being honest, I have just less faith in YC backed/VC funded startups unless proven otherwise because VC requires profits so they might be incentivized to keep the pricing on the upper side of things and not change as you mention

I am not exactly sure how things would go for your product and I am unable to get a clear visual understanding of what you are trying to achieve but I feel like there are some things which you can do to solve it as the GP said

Basically please dont get enshittified in the end.

Zed is awesome and zed has zed AI and its built on non electron. Its actually built by the atom team itself by learning from their mistakes of building atom and this time instead of building it on browser, they did some pretty hardcore optimizations like running the editor at 144 fps or similar by rendering rectangles via GPU processing.

Zed is really snappy. It's kind of my go-to editor for most things.

With Claude Code now available in the Claude desktop app, what are the key differentiators? I’m all for new, better tools and will probably test this out over the weekend to see if the interface is more usable than Claude’s. Just curious if there’s anything you’re particularly excited about compared to the official release.

We started building this after trying existing tools like Claude Code desktop. We realized we couldn't fully transition to them — my co-founder went back to Cursor and burned tons of money on tokens. So we decided to build a tool that WE would actually use, and once we succeeded with that, we open-sourced it. Since then we've received a lot of feedback on where to take this product - some use cases Anthropic will pro…

Why not support open code as well?

Study the graphs. Ready the copy.

If you don't feel these differences every keystroke, count yourself lucky to have slower perception or typing, rather than accusing folks of posturing.
