It's a bit disingenuous that you claim on your banner that your launch was covered by AP when it was in fact a paid content Press Release that only shared the domain: "PRESS RELEASE: Paid Content from EZ Newswire.

#82Can someone make an assistant for firestore security rules, and another for shadcn with the latest tailwindcss version? Like, yesterday?
These are the two cases where Claude 3.7/windsurf shits in my bed. :(

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is just a prompt change if there is a cli tool for GitLab or Bitbucket. I just tell Claude to use the gh cli tool and to use it as external memory to track tasks and to submit PRs.
I see, so it depends on a cli tool being available. I will check what other options are available out there. It would be great to run local models at the same level one day. I am sure that Claude is making your wallet feel quite light :)
It costs about a $1 to implement a major feature, so no the cost is marginal compared to my salary.

That's not bad. Btw your docs are really good. Will be checking out the Discord.

#85As someone who has done a lot of work with agentic coding I am not sure specialized agents are the best solution. I think standardizing knowledge packs would be better that any agent can read to understand a domain or library is more useful. In particular this allows for an agent to know multiple domains at the same time. Basically knowledge packs could be specified in each npm package.json or similar. And we should…

We didn't claim to be covered by AP, but I see what you mean: the previous text ("Learn more on TechCrunch and The Associated Press") wasn't clear enough. We've updated it to say “Check out our TechCrunch coverage and press release on AP News”. It's a bit clunky but should avoid that misunderstanding. Thanks for pointing this out!

#87Very excited for this. The two painpoints I've had with LLM's lately: - Mediocre knowledge of Erlang/Elixir - Reluctance to use the new rune feature in Svelte 5 It sounds like I'd be able to point my local LLM to the official docs for Erlang, Elixir, Phoenix, and all the dependencies in my project. And same for Svelte 5.
I found that Copilot sucked for elixir.
But Cursor has been much better with suggestions for elixir codebases.
Probably still not as good as JS/Python but way way way better than Copilot.

What would be the best way to provide feedback? I'm not sure when I will get a chance to look at Continue, but suspect it may be after comments are closed on this thread.
If you want to keep in touch going forward, you're welcome to join our Discord or share a GitHub issue, we'll try to be quite responsive

#89I've enjoyed using Continue and really appreciated the focus on customizability.
But my problem with Continue has been the lack of stability. I'll often bounce from one tool to another, so I might not use it for a couple weeks. Almost every time I come back to it, the extension is broken in some way. I've reinstalled it many many times. I kinda gave up on it and stuck with Cody, even though I like the feature set of Continue better. (Cody eventually broke on me, too, but that's another can of worms.)
Is the Continue team aware of this stability issue and are you planning on focusing on that more now that you've launched? It seems like you've been moving fast and breaking things, which makes sense for a while, but I can't hitch my wagon to something that's going to break on me.

What broke on you when using Cody? Sorry to hear about that and want to fix it for you.
