alt Hacker NewsCongrats on the launch guys! Tried the product early on and it’s clearly improved a ton. I’m still using Cursor every day mainly because of how complete the feature set is - autocomplete, command K, highlight a function and ask questions about it, and command L / command shift L. I am not sure what it’ll take for me to switch - maybe I’m not an ideal user somehow… I’m working in a relatively simple codebase with few collaborators?
I’m curious what exactly people say causes them to make the switch from Cursor to Codebuff? Or do people just use both?
Sweet. Personally, I use both Cursor and Codebuff.
I open the terminal panel at the bottom of the Cursor window, start up `codebuff`, and voila, I have an upgraded version of Cursor Compose!
Depending on what exactly I'm implementing I rely more on codebuff or do more manual coding in Cursor. For manual coding, I mostly just use the tab autocomplete. That's their best feature IMO.
But codebuff is very useful for starting features out if I brain dump what I want and then go fix it up. Or, writing tests or scripts. Or refactoring. Or integrating a new api.
As codebuff has gotten better, I've found it useful in more cases. If I'm implementing a lot of web UI, I can nearly stop looking at the code altogether and just keep prompting it until it works.
Hopefully that gives you some idea of how you could use codebuff in your day-to-day development.
