Hey Seth and Ayo - congrats on this launch. While I think there’s certainly room for improvement, which I’ll address below - this demo makes me feel that you both can keep grinding and succeed with this. The main feedback I have is similar to others who asked how this is better than Cursor running with a react native codebase and iOS simulator running on the side. I read your response about being better at iOS/android specific things could be the case (for example, making it really nail payments and subscriptions could be useful) - but it is definitely going to be a tough battle. If someone can only use your platform and reliably have a react native codebase (version controlled on GitHub), with working Supabase auth, and fully synced with Expo (so basically almost ready to go)- that would be pretty cool! I also think there’s room for you guys to add value around some of the other annoying parts of launching a native app. If your app was able to automatically make App Store creatives and essentially publish the app for me with some user-promoting - that would be sick

I hard agree. Seth, Ayo, I think you guys should be honest with yourself and ask whether you want to go toe to toe with Cursor, Windsurf, Microsoft, etc.

If not, take the other route. Go deep into the vertical of React Native. Help people with no experience run an ENTIRE BUSINESS just with your chatbot as the AI cofounder - you build the entire app and backend, handle marketing, publish it, all with AI agents. How sick would that be.

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.
