Sort of. I think we want to leverage the parts of the runtime that Cursor wouldn’t be as good at. I don’t expect to replace Cursor, I expect to be better at a lot of React things that take advantage of the runtime and browser context.
because you're ex YC i feel ok giving some tough love that i dont think this is a good plan because cursor and v0 will eat your lunch if you get any traction, however, happy koding and may you find the thing you were meant to do.
I don’t mind the tough love one bit. Yeah, could happen. Startups just aren’t defensible creatures, especially in the post network effect world of AI. But having spent a bit of time in the world of startups (I worked at YC), I think it’s easy to forget that people build in an incumbent’s space all the time... and yes, usually those startups get killed. But by your logic, Cursor should not exist. We should all be using GitHub copilot. The browser IDE is really a new category so I think it will be somewhat awkward for any incumbent.
To be clear, I fully expect Vercel to launch something and for them to have the best distribution in the world. I don’t think they will ever support Vite or things that aren’t Next but que sera sera.
