#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Supermaven said the same thing when they were acquired by Cursor and then EOLed a year later. Honestly, it makes sense to me that Cursor would shut down products it acquires - I just dislike pretending that something else is happening.

#43Hi! Another one of the Graphite co-founders here. Alongside Greg, happy to answer any questions :)
What's the main synergy between Cursor and Graphite that led you to join? Stacked PRs? AI code review? Something else?
Stacked PRs are a really natural fit for vibe coding workflows, it helps turn illegible 10k+ line PRs into manageable chunks that you can review independently. (Not affiliated with Cursor or Graphite)

#44If these ai companies had 100x dev output, why would you acquire a company? Why not just show screenshots to your agent and get it to implement everything?
Is it market share? Because I don't know who has a bigger user base that cursor.

#45Blacksmith.sh acquisition in 3, 2, 1 ...
Then Cursor takes on GitHub for the control of the repo.

#46I thought it were graphite.art and had a figurative heart attack.
Never used the tool being acquired, but just discovered the 2D design tool from your comment, looks super cool!

we are a 70 person team, bringing in significant revenue through our product, have widespread usage at massive companies like shopify robinhood etc, this is a MUCH MUCH MUCH different story than supermaven (which I used myself and was sad to see go) which was a tiny team with a super-early product when they got acquired. everyone is staying on to keep making the graphite product great. we're all excited to have these…
I've seen big companies cleave off tens of millions of profitable products on a whim pretty often....

#48Love this announcement style. Direct, confident, and not a word longer than it needs to be. Gives major "the work speaks for itself" vibes. OpenAI's comms used to be like this, until it morphed into Apple-like grandiosity that instead comes off as try-hard.

#49Startups should check the internet before naming them after tools like Graphite for monitoring https://graphiteapp.org/.
Re: Graphite is joining Cursor
#50I'm really used to my Graphite workflow and I can't imagine going without it anymore. An acquisition like this is normally not good news for the product.
Heard on the worry, but I can confirm Graphite isn’t going anywhere. We're doubling down on building the best workflow, now with more resourcing than ever before!
