Hi HN!
Since launching Continue two months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36882146), we've received amazing feedback, added features, and greatly improved reliability. But one of the biggest things we heard was the desire for a JetBrains extension. My co-founder Ty and I are super excited to share that we've released an extension for PyCharm, Intellij, WebStorm, and most other JetBrains IDEs - ready for alpha users at https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/22707-continue.
Perhaps the most exciting part is that this effort was kickstarted and in great part developed by a community contributor! If you're curious what it took to make this happen, check out the PR here (https://github.com/continuedev/continue/pull/457). We hope to eventually support every IDE, so we made adding a new extension as easy as implementing a single class. If you're curious why this is possible, you can read more about the Continue Server and the architectural decisions we made here: https://blog.continue.dev/how-we-made-continue-ide-agnostic.
1. I’m assuming I need to pay for my own open AI key for access to the API. That’s no problem I believe in simple transactions where I give a company money and they give me goods and services.
2. On that same note, what is your business plan? Again, the only answer I would agree with is “that we are going to ask for enough money so our business is going to be an ongoing concern”.
I really want you to avoid of at possible that we see a blog post in a couple of years about “our amazing journey”
If it isn’t obvious, I’m saying I see some real value in your plug in and I’m hoping for the best from you and will gladly pay real money for it.
I had a personal JetBrains subscription for years when I was doing C# development and I pay for ChatGPT now.
