Links to the project, I'm guessing these :)

Why is a fork required? I use the cline plugin for VS Code and it seems to be able to be able to more things, like update code directly, create new files, etc.

I'm curious - what does the AI coding setup of the HN community look like, and how has your experience been so far?

I want to get some broader feedback before completely switching my workflow to Aide or Cursor.

What is the privacy policy? Do you get to see my code and secrets? Does anybody else? I don't want you to. Nothing personal.

Looks interesting, is there a binary for Mac OS? I'd rather not build from scratch just to demo.

For the people comparing to Cursor on features, I suspect the winner is going to be hard to articulate in an A:B comparison.

There's such a difference in feel that may be rooted in a philosophy, but boils down to how much the creator's vision aligns with my own.

Is there a comparison with Cursor I can read?

Genuine question, with vscode going all-in in this direction, what's left for forks like this?

Any tips for using Aide with another text editor? Ie i'm not going to work outside of my preferred text editor (Helix atm), so i'm curious about software which has a workflow around this. Rather than trying to move me to a new text editor

FYI the youtube embed on https://docs.codestory.ai/features is broken (both Firefox and Chrome, MacOS).

https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/132.0.1/Darwin/en-US/x...

Is the "sidecar" open source too?

What differentiates Aide from all the existing tools in this space like Cursor?

Hmm, any time frame for when Linux (.deb,flatpak) binaries will be available?

This is a fork of VScode, which means people can’t use the extension store anymore right?

Looks like the download links from your landing page are broken?

  Looks like our build pipeline is broken!
  Click here to let us know?

I see Qwen 2.5 is not listed on your website, is plugging in different llms supported as well?

Any short-term plans for Claude via AWS Bedrock? (That's for me personally a blocker for trying it on our main codebase.)

Aide.dev is similar to aider.chat except Aide being an IDE while Aider is a CLI

This is very similar to the Zed editor. How much did you get inspired by them? And what are the differences between yours and their implementations?

This looks great. Would love some blog posts about your experience building this our with rust!

sigh more Electron

first editor I've seen recently that defaults to turn of minimap.

I won't shut up for about this, I don't understand how such an useless "feature" becomes the norm in modern IDEs.

You have just woken up from the cryosleep you entered in 2024. The year is 2237. GPT-64 and its predecessors have been around for nigh on 100 years. But there has been no civilizational upheaval. Your confusion is cleared when you check the inter-agent high-speed data bus. You expect this to be utterly incomprehensible, but both the human and AI data is clearly visible. It is a repeating pattern. The agents are mimicking human behavior perfectly and you can’t tell which is which. All data transmitted has the same form:

    $word is already a name for a project. Stop copying it. Change your name.

Not only is the name Aide already used by another project, it’s even also an IDE.

AIDE has been around for 25 years: https://aide.github.io/

IMHO the right thing would be to use another name.
