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.

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
