- Ok, I am sold on this. I give you 60 billion!by theplumber
- So the defaults are Codex and Claude? I use neither.by hootz
- Codex and Claude are the defaults for now but it is built to use any CLI of your choice via the terminal.by evanklem2004
- Product looks awesome, please take the time to write a human-made README.by ricardobeat
- The mushroom product video gave me a good laugh. Thank you!by mccoyb
- I couldn't even get the video to play. Nonetheless I'm sort of meta excited by this product. It reminds me of the apocryphal "customers want a faster horse" thing associated with Henry Ford. Chat bolted onto an IDE was a great starting point, but if AI is writing the code, do even need an IDE? This doesn't go that far but it sounds wacky enough that it least it's trying to break out of the IDE mold. Not idea what we need instead of an IDE but if an IDE with chat is a faster horse then I'm really curious what the car looks like. Is it just reviewing UI? Even that seems like a short term solution since I'm not sure how long code reviewing will be around as agents get better at it and it might make more sense to do fractional launches and gather data than spend precious human time looking for a bug/needle in a diff / haystack...by jreynar
- Sorry about the video bug, Github's manual on file attachments mentions video codecs being browser specific. I will be sure to use the most widely supported codec in the next update.
I definitely relate to a lot of your thinking here, I feel like it will just take a handful of years of experimenting with these new tools to settle on what really works. That was part of my rationale for making it more modular, as I continue to learn and grow with the tooling I can easily update my IDE to be super personalized.
by evanklem2004 - Like with most full products that are vibecoded, there's very little to no originality in this - just strange packaging of things that already exist.by avree
- Repackaging of existing concepts is kind of just what a lot of new tech products are, right?by ch4s3
- I just need shells — no IDE integration whatsoever. I work across several large codebases in Xcode, Android Studio, and Visual Studio, and I don't want anything wired into them; I just want shells running alongside, exactly like git. Forced docked windows here and there don't help. The best thing about Codex and Claude Code is that I can spin up as many shells as I want and work on as many bugs and features as I can handle in parallel.by mcscxv
- if someone would give me 60bn to put a chatbox in vscode I would happily do itby blitzar

- Is this just a vibe-coded IDE? The tagline "Modular IDE designed for agentic coding" and description don't really summarize what this does differently, and I'm not looking at a video to figure that out.by kylemaxwell
- Yes, 90% of software in HN main page these days are vibe coded slop that no one uses.by cute_boi
- The video seems to be about mushrooms.by zby
- This might be one of the strangest product video editing decisions I've seen.by grim_io
- Has there ever been an IDE demo video with better music?by evanjrowley
- Yeah, it has me wondering why this project is trying to entertain me with a video.
- It is strange which is why it is great. So refreshing to not see another instance of corporate videoslop.by bad_username
- Haven’t commented in years but I came to say this is an incredible video.
I think the uncanny valley of this video as a makeshift 90s infomercial captures the audience and sells the product!
Caveat: vaporwave is one of my favorite genres so take this with a grain of salt.
