Well, an IDE is not fundamentally out of scope, but for the foreseeable future the plan there is more along the lines of plugins for common IDEs (e.g. VSCode, Jetbrains) and integrations with existing code review and code hosting services (GitHub, GitLab, etc.).

We want to integrate with a few reasonable permutations of a development environment and overlay stuff like dead code deletion and refactoring (Already got a tool for that! More to come soon, but that's not the full business for us, just the first feature), static analysis (see NullAway/NilAway for examples that go beyond basic linting), tools for managing compatibility between dependencies and fixing flaky tests, and LLM-based code transformation and code review tools. At some point or another we have talked about how we'd rebuild each and every step of the development process (up to including version control), but for now there are easier and more urgent problems we think we can solve than that or building a new IDE :)
