They launched support for this today. We expect them to be a strong competitor but we think our experience developing indie apps and the fact that we're laser focused on Mobile Apps will help us win.

Thanks, we think the quick preview on the web and the ability to quickly switch between alot of different apps is super valuable.

Definitely, we have a new design in the works

Thank you! If they added React Native it could be a competitor for prototyping react native screens but I think our roadmaps are different as we're focused on the entire app development process.

Thank you for the support! Getting a polished production app can definitely be challenging if you're using just the AI. Depending on the quality bar you're going for we expect the user may need to do some coding themselves if they're struggling with the LLM. We think there are alot of apps that can be made and can make money with just the LLM today and expect to have users who are just using the LLM and also those who are willing to code themselves. As we build out more non code-gen features our offering should get more appealing to that second group of users.

Yeah, we definitely don't want to position ourselves as an IDE or pure code-gen product long term. What you mentioned with the React Native vertical really speaks to us, we've been indie app developers for a while and think there's lots of opportunities to bring AI to that field that go beyond the code.

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear your optimistic about the product. The code-gen field is quite competitive and we really want to work on that higher layer of app development that goes beyond the coding. What you described with the App Store creatives is something me and Ayo have talked about and would love to implement. I hope I can come back to this thread soon and let you know its live.

thanks! the pointing logo is my favorite.

We know Cursor is very good at code-gen and are improving our system to catch up. Our goal is to make the entire app development process faster and easier which involves alot of stuff outside of code-gen that we're working on and Cursor likely won't.

> which involves alot of stuff outside of code-gen that we're working on

Could you elaborate on what extra stuff you are working on that will be a value-add over standalone Cursor?

I would guess Replit-like (or Vercel-like) automation of aspects that are RN-specific. Eg typical mobile integrations, databases, more focus on UI (design screens with drag and drop + LLM chat), secrets. Focusing means they’re able to make features work better for just one type of developer, and can move faster. Cursor would need to solve for all types of development since their users probably do everything in all languages from web to mobile to backend etc.

Yeah, integrations like Supabase, In-App Purchases/Subscriptions setup, Notifications, and App Store submission

what would the stop button do?

Generating code takes some time. Sometimes when we look at the generated code half way, we know that it's not what we want. Better to stop and edit the prompt.

Ah gotcha, I thought you meant for the app. We'll add this.

I just tried this one out, the generated code is blurred out as it is generating, which I think is not desirable.
