Project mention: Anthropic co-founder on cutting access to Windsurf | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-05
Void is basically the same thing, but open source and better. It's easy to use with any provider API key, even LM Studio for local models. You can use it with free models available from OpenRouter to try it out, but the quality of output is just as dependent on the model as any other solution.

vscode-remote-release
Visual Studio Code Remote Development: Open any folder in WSL, in a Docker container, or on a remote machine using SSH and take advantage of VS Code's full feature set.
Project mention: How to make your development workflow more effective with Claude | dev.to | 2025-04-09The container creates a Docker volume named after your project directory (like your-project-name-volume) and mounts it at /workspaces/your-project-name/volume/ inside the container. This approach ensures your development files persist across container restarts and rebuilds. Why use a Docker volume instead of a simple host directory mount? It makes a huge difference for file watching functionality, which you'll definitely appreciate when you want features like auto-recompiling to work properly.

flyde
Open-source Visual programming for backend logic that integrates with existing codebases. Flyde bridges the gap between technical and non-technical team members. Product managers, designers, and backend developers can collaborate on the same visual flows.
Project mention: Show HN: Flowcode – Turing-complete visual programming platform | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-29running them (see https://github.com/flydelabs/flyde/blob/main/core/src/execut...) ) will not benefit from being visual. It's mostly synchronous, borderline fractal logic.
A great use case for visual programming would be a task that involves several LLM calls, third-party vendors, and some transformation logic on top.
