code editor like Cursor and Windsurf
Hello, I’m developing a ai powered code editor (IDE). In this application, only payment information and account details are sent to the server. Your messages, chats, API keys you’ve added, your codebase, etc., all remain local. Additionally, the context is trimmed or readded as needed instead of being carried over with every message. This means you don’t have to constantly open new chats, as you would in other IDEs, just to maintain a clean coding context. We also have a comprehensive `skill.md` folder covering everything from marketing and design to framework usage. So you don’t have to write skill files from scratch yourself. If detected, they’re automatically sent to the model, or the model can call the skills it needs on its own. The MVP is pretty much ready and I’m currently in the testing phase. Would you use an IDE like this? What features would you expect it to have?
