@zack_hendlin Hi Zack! Thank you so much for this thoughtful question - it really gets to the heart of what we're trying to build! While Cursor is doing incredible work enhancing the traditional coding workflow with AI-assisted features (and we're huge fans!), Cades comes from our deep conviction about a different future of software development. We believe we're heading toward a world where programming will be primarily agentic - shifting from "code to product" to pure "idea to product." We envision a future where code itself becomes increasingly abstracted, allowing developers to focus on what matters most: turning their creative concepts into functional applications. And of course, we absolutely recognize the immense value that tools like Cursor, Copilot, and similar solutions provide to today's developers. They're genuinely revolutionary! In fact, our cloud IDE incorporates similar features for codebase chat, autocompletion, and feature addition as they're just so useful. What really sparked our focus on mobile app development was some fascinating (and honestly, somewhat surprising) insights from our research: - In a developer survey we conducted, 42% of developers felt confident they could build a web app end-to-end in a hackathon setting - However, only 7% felt the same confidence about building a mobile app with identical features - This was particularly striking given that the survey participants were evenly split between mobile and web developers. This dramatic capability-gap between web and mobile development represents an incredible opportunity where AI's agentic capabilities can make a real difference. While amazing tools like Cursor might give developers an X% boost in coding efficiency, platforms like Cades.dev, Lovable.dev, Bolt.new, and Replit's AI agent aim to provide an xN multiplier by fundamentally transforming how developers work. Rather than just enhancing the coding experience, we're working to abstract away entire layers of complexity, taking certain responsibilities completely off developers' plates so they can focus on what truly matters - bringing their creative ideas to life. You could say that while Cursor brilliantly enhances how developers write code, Cades is trying to transform how developers build mobile products entirely. Both approaches have their place, but they serve different visions of the future of software development. I'm really excited about all the insights we've gathered about the specific barriers in mobile development and how we're tackling them - I'd love to share more in a longer post sometime in the future! But I'm so glad you asked this question as it helps us clarify our vision and purpose.

@raunak_sett @gokul_sar @jai_singhal thanks for your support :D

@frank_lee17 yes

@ihuzaifashoukat My personal favorite is how Claude can design all the screens in one shot for any app idea I throw at it - saves me the effort of explaining concepts to others since I can just share a prototype with them in minutes.

@trydoff Thank you for the kind words! 😊 We're currently focusing on building apps with Flutter, but React Native is definitely on our roadmap. Is there a specific reason you're interested in React Native? Your feedback would help us prioritize and serve you better!

Hey @gokul_sar, I think adding React Native support would be a big improvement for your product. It could attract more JS developers. As a fullstack developer with a JS background (Next.js/Node.js), I wouldn’t risk transitioning to Flutter or have the time to learn it. But if this tool supported React Native, I already have some ideas and would’ve started using it right away.

@trydoff Perfect! That’s precisely what we’re building towards (2-3 weeks). Do drop a mail to hello@cades.dev - we’ll keep you updated as we release features.

@hritik_choudhary As of now, Cades can easily integrate with pretty much any API. We're working on adding out-of-box functionalities like authentication, payment flows etc - you'll be able to use them without needing a separate backend service soon.

@manish05 Manish, I tried your AI SaaS, but I’m facing some issues. It keeps asking the same questions repeatedly and takes a lot of time to generate the app. I tried creating a basic to-do list app, but it couldn’t even make that. If it struggles with something simple, I’m concerned about how it can handle more complex applications. Could you please look into this? and please dont write this Text to Mobile App in Minutes in your website because it is not making app in minutes

@hritik_choudhary I appreciate you checking out the product. The UX and communication still needs some work, the Cloud IDE and AI Coding feature is not enabled for everyone. However you should get the entire mobile app designs in less than a minute. Please drop an email to hello@cades.dev so I can personally assist you with the same and enable the alpha features for you if you are interested in testing the platform to the fullest.

@kody06 I am glad you loved the designs. Please reach out to us on hello@cades.dev. We'll send you code for that particular project for free.
