Nice to see a Product Hunt advertiser do well!
Dear @Windsurf, I appreciate the frequent updates. Love seeing a fast moving product. But, the restart-to-update is pretty brutal. There are like 3 updates per week.
I have long running processes in the editor terminal like my development server and rails console. When I restart the editor, I have to manually restart these processes. Some ideas:
Maybe it's possible to have some updates without restarts?
Can you indicate when my local major or minor version is behind the latest? I am no longer willing to restart the editor for most patch updates.
Here is what the Free tier is going to have now:
More premium credits: We are bringing all premium models to the Free plan with the full agentic experience. Instead of just 5 premium prompt credits a month, a user will get 25. With GPT-4.1 and o4-mini still on a discounted 0.25 credit rate, this corresponds to 100 such prompts every month.
Unlimited full agent: We are also going to give unlimited Cascade Base model usage in Write mode to our Free users. Previously, unlimited Cascade Base was available, but not with the full agentic experience.
Unlimited Fast Tab: Free users will now have unlimited fast Tab completions, the highest performing Tab experience that was previously available only to paying users. This is the full Tab experience - autocomplete, supercomplete, tab-to-jump, tab-to-import, and more.
Previews and Deploys: Unlimited Previews and one Deploy a day.
(I commented on this product already, but now I'm leaving a review…) WindSurf is great! I like how familiar and easy to use it is, plus the theming and navigation are awesome. Cascade (the built-in AI) is crazy! This will definitely be redefining how developers do their developing!
It's Great! but need more optimization so it can perfectly understand the project code and edit or create a new code based on that.
By far the most advanced AI code editor out there. I'm blown away by its capabilities. It truly is like having a sidekick with you that you can go to at any time for any kind of help. I only wish there was a button within the Source Control to generate a commit message. Currently, you have to CMD+P ">Windsurf: Generate commit message"
Excellent - reliable operation. You can start, knowing it will take you to a published version without major issues. Use it to adopt my react projects to GitHub and Herku without any problem - works great
