Mordecai is a browser-based AI tool for programmers that integrates with your code repo via our CLI tool, providing live code context. Each project space contains multi-thread chats, all sharing the context linked to that space.
Congrats on the launch! Mordecai sounds like a handy tool for developers. How does it compare to other AI coding assistants out there? I'm curious to hear more about its unique features and benefits.
Congrats on the launch @davidwrossiter @joeyjooste @matthewp2718 @isabella_rossiter ! 🎉
Editor-agnostic is a big plus for users like me. Excited to see how this evolves!
Congratulations @davidwrossiter @joeyjooste @matthewp2718 @isabella_rossiter on launching Mordecai! This browser-based tool sounds very helpful for programmers.
When we started developing Mordecai a few months ago we knew that there was one problem we were intent on being a part of solving: programming with LLMs. We had used products such as GitHub Copilot, Codeium, and Cursor, and weren't totally happy with their design philosophy. These apps take the approach of LLM integrations directly inside of your text-editor, and none of us liked this. I use Neovim, and one of my co-founders uses Helix, neither of us were prepared to switch to a different way of editing code just so we could get an LLM integration, so we decided to build Mordecai, a browser based programming tool - not just another VS-Code fork.
If you use Neovim, Helix, Emacs or any unconventional text editor, Mordecai is one of the easiest ways to program with LLMs. You certainly don't need to use one of these editors to use Mordecai, many of our users don't use them, the beauty of Mordecai is that you can use it irrespective of your text editor.
There have previously been attempts made to integrate coding, with LLM apps in the browser, but they all lacked one key ingredient: live code sync. We have created a CLI tool which can be run in a local code repo, this will give Mordecai context of your code repo, and update as you change/write files, we have found this to be one of the most elegant approaches to this complex problem. You can see how this all works on our website.
P.S. use code PRODUCTHUNT to get 10% off your first order.
This sounds super promising. Integrating directly into the codebase is a big plus. Excited to see how it works in action!
