Codebuff is a tool for editing codebases via natural language. Just npm install it, point it at your directory, and you're off to the races!
Codebuff automatically pulls any files it needs for context, so it has the most accurate data to solve your problems. It also runs terminal commands for you, to speed up your own development.
Our users have found that they can build apps in hours that used to take weeks. Some even use it to build in languages they've never used before!
There are a lot of AI agents out there to help someone with little or no experience build really cool things. But Manicode is for professional engineers, and it's an absolute force multiplier. At my startup, I'm currently the only engineer, and Manicode makes it feel like I have a team.
One great experience I just had was building a demo iOS app. My background is in web engineering, but Manicode helped me ramp up on Swift / iOS in no time. I was intimidated to use XCode instead of Cursor, but because Manicode lives in my terminal, it could just come with me and naturally work on this project like any other. Also, it does a great job of gathering knowledge as we work and leveraging this context. I definitely feel like it gets better as I use it.
Thank you to the team for this awesome tool. I highly recommend you give it a try!
@gray_newfield Thanks Gray! That's an amazing testimonial.

I was going to ask why it is different from other coding assistants but you answered in the chat - "An assistant that is integrated to codebase and understands context sounds interesting". Will give it a try!

It helps us build Manifold every day! It automatically finds context, which is way faster than manually selecting files in cursor.

It works, it's smarter than others at editing the right code, and it fixes bugs that I couldn't with Cursor. Super easy to use. Strongly recommend!
@uri_journey that's great feedback – glad you decided to give Manicode a try! Hard to demo "works better" in a video, so I'm grateful for your testimonial :)

@brandon_at_manicode manicode it at a differently level. I’ve been using cursor and other tools, yet manicode seems to work better and faster! Within an hour of play it turned to be my next go-to coding assistance. Using it inside cursor just revamped my projects completely.
I will try it on my other IDEs, especially Replit, as I believe it can better support and solve some of it pitfalls.
I've been able to build a MIDI player that can connect to my MIDI keyboard and teach me new tunes on screen in about two hours of prompting and without opening the project once... not to mention I don't know anything about any MID api or how midi files and message look. This is quite the ride. when I got to the end of my credits, I had to get more! it's highly addictive so tread carefully but it is so clear how this or something like that is the future of tech building.

I recently came across your project, and I found it really interesting! I was curious—was the tool built entirely from scratch, or is it based on an open-source project like Aider, which seems to offer similar functionality?
