Hello Product Hunt 👋 and thanks for the hunt Michael! I’m Nate, co-founder of Continue, along with @tylerjdunn.
Like many software developers, we spent our free time working together on side projects, and in this process became power-users of Copilot and ChatGPT. We felt that the experience of programming was changing markedly, but still constantly saw that language models were capable of more…if only there were a good way to tinker and try our hand at the improvements we had in mind.
This was the motivation behind Continue: LLM dev tools should adapt to developer needs, providing customization wherever desired, and a smooth out-of-the-box experience everywhere else. We’re thrilled to share the solution we’ve crafted. Here’s what you can do with Continue today:
💻 Save trips to-and-from the browser. Spare yourself the trouble of copy/pasting code from ChatGPT, and simply ask questions from within your IDE.
🔎 Powerfully manage context. Highlight multiple sections of code or type ‘@’ to reference GitHub Issues, documentation, Slack conversations, and more.
✅ Safely generate edits. Highlight code, request a change, then press enter to see the changes streamed into a side-by-side diff, where you can confidently review before changing the original file.
🦙 Use any LLM. This includes GPT-4, Llama-2, Claude, the latest open-source LLMs, or a custom model.
🛠️ Save and reuse prompts. With “slash commands”, you can create templated prompts that help you and your teammates save time on repetitive tasks.
⌨️ Navigate with keyboard shortcuts. Like any good autopilot, Continue lets you stay hands-off (the mouse). Toggle Continue, make edits, add context, and ask questions all with ergonomic keybindings.
We can’t wait to see what side (or main) projects you all build with Continue and, more so, we can’t wait to learn what features you’d like to see next! It is our mission to give developers the keys to the creation of the most powerful tools of this generation, and this mission wouldn’t be complete without your feedback.
Happy hunting,
Nate
