More Code & Developer Tools
Cursor
Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on top of VS Code that brings deep AI assistance directly into the development environment. It allows developers to chat with their codebase, generate code from natural language instructions, and apply intelligent multi-file edits with a single prompt. Cursor is designed to keep developers in flow while dramatically accelerating the coding process.
Pieces for Developers
Pieces for Developers is an AI-powered productivity tool that acts as a personal memory layer for developers, automatically capturing, organizing, and enriching code snippets, commands, and technical context from across the development workflow. It uses on-device AI to tag and describe saved snippets, making them instantly searchable and reusable across projects and tools. Pieces integrates with VS Code, JetBrains, browsers, and communication tools to capture useful code wherever it appears.
Bolt.new
Bolt.new is an AI-powered full-stack web application builder that allows users to create, edit, and deploy complete web applications entirely in the browser using natural language prompts. Built by StackBlitz, it combines an in-browser development environment with a capable AI agent that generates, runs, and iterates on full-stack code in real time. Bolt is designed for developers and non-developers alike who want to go from idea to deployed application without local setup or configuration.
Windsurf
Windsurf is an AI-native code editor developed by Codeium that takes AI coding assistance to the next level with its Cascade agent — an autonomous coding system that can plan, execute, and iterate on multi-step development tasks independently. Unlike traditional AI code assistants that respond to single prompts, Windsurf's agent maintains full awareness of the codebase and can act proactively on behalf of the developer. It is designed for developers who want an AI collaborator, not just an autocomplete tool.
