The coding frontier’s changing fast, friends. New gunslingers like Cursor and Windsurf are kicking up dust. These AI-powered editors are designed from the ground up to make coding feel more like vibing than grinding. Forget dry interfaces and manual tinkering. These new tools promise to read your intent, anticipate your next move, and flow with you like a rhythm section locking in on a groove.
Think of Copilot as your trusty deputy. Keep it penned in the saloon and it will polish the bar; kick the doors wide and it can roam the frontier rounding up fresh documentation faster than Doc Holliday draws a derringer. I'm your huckleberry still rings true: let Copilot handle the quick‑draw research while you concentrate on upholding the code of the land.
The day has finally arrived. After weeks of coding, testing, debugging, and more than a few coffee-fueled epiphanies, Huckleberry is ready for its public alpha debut. It's not perfect, no alpha release ever is, but it's real, it works, and we think you're going to find it surprisingly useful for something so young.
Punching out rough ideas feels grand until your backlog looks like a saloon bar top after last orders.
Huckleberry rides in, swaps your whisky-stained scribbles for a proper trail map and helps you ship before the dust settles. Here is how to stay in the saddle, keep your herd together and leave the stray notes for the tumbleweed.
We built Huckleberry because we wanted it.
Not in the abstract "the market has a gap" sense. I mean we wanted to use it. As in: I kept losing track of what I was doing, what I'd done, and what I meant to do next. All while bouncing between a million tabs, a to-do list app I hadn't opened in three weeks, and a PRD in someone else's head.
If you've ever found yourself asking, What was I just working on again?, then you probably understand.
