Overview
Windsurf is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that leverages AI to enhance the developer's workflow. Aimed at keeping developers in 'flow state', it incorporates an AI agent that interoperates closely with developers, offering a coding experience that feels harmoniously human-centric and AI-enhanced.
The Windsurf is built to work across multiple platforms including Mac, Windows, and Linux. Windsurf reinvents conventional IDEs by using AI in collaborative aspects, behaving both as a Copilot and an Agent.
It introduces 'Flows', a system where the developer and AI function in sync, fostering a immersive coding experience.A key feature of the Windsurf is 'Cascade', a smart tool that offers deep codebase understanding, advanced tools, and real-time recognition of your coding actions.
Cascade creates a robust, seamless, and collaborative coding flow with features such as deep contextual awareness for relevant suggestions, command suggestion and execution, issue detection and debugging, and the ability to pick up your work where you left off.
The Windsurf also provides multi-file editing through context awareness and tool integration, as well as terminal command suggestions and enhanced search tools.An interesting ability of Cascade is its capacity to let you see your website live in the IDE, and allow instant reshaping of any clicked element, providing real-time results.
Additionally, Windsurf integrates with various tools and services/APIs via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).Windsurf also introduces features like in-line code refactoring using natural language, cursor location prediction, advanced code completion suggestions, and elaborate AI settings management.

From Any Content to Carousel Post in 30 Seconds.19,10468Released 2mo ago100% FreeI built VDraw out of pure necessity. Like many creators and marketers, I was spending hours reformatting blog posts, YouTube videos, or PDFs into carousels for social media. Most existing tools were either too design-heavy or too generic with their templates. With VDraw, my goal was simple:Let AI handle the hard part—extracting key insights, summarizing content, and applying modern visuals—so you can focus on your message. Just paste your content or upload a file, and within seconds, VDraw turns it into a ready-to-share carousel post tailored to your brand style. I use it daily now, and it’s saved me countless hours. I hope it does the same for you. ➡️ Try it out free at: https://vdraw.ai

63,055152v1.2.0 released 2mo agoFree + from $20/moWould rate 4.9 if possible, but rounding up to 5 stars because this app truly excels compared to other AI coding tools. Why 5 Stars: Best-in-class AI coding assistance Huge improvements over competitors Actually works for real development Real Impact: I successfully built and published an actual app using this tool - that's game-changing for non-developers like me. Bottom Line: Yes, there's room for improvement, but this is already the top AI coding app available. The fact that ordinary people can create real apps with it says everything. Perfect for anyone wanting to turn ideas into actual apps!
