How are you able to determine whether this is promising? There's no details at all, just vague marketing copy. There's no actual screenshots or videos of how the workflows an interactions work, just mockups. There's no indication of why this would better than the alternative except that it's "AI".
I'm sure the web page is enough to populate their waitlist and thus met its foals, but as a HN submission this feels awful. There's just nothing of substanance to talk about.

Which is weird because google has a partnership with replit, unless replit has a hand in this project. If not, pretty ruthless.

The feature that I'm most interested in is the ios emulator that will be available through the browser. Dealing with ios development with neither a mac nor iphone is annoying at best.
So far, I'm using Flutter and codemagic to do builds, relying on web and android debugging during development, and friends' bug reports through testflight for ios dealbreakers. Being able to debug ios during development would be nice.

I’m a fan of experiments putting editors in the browser, similar to what google does in house.

There are tons of hosted versions of VS Code.
