Q: Strategy & Differentiation
Hi,
Please share with us your strategy going forward. I am particularly interested in how you plan to differentiate your product against the likes of Cursor and Windsurf.
I am asking these questions because I am interested and so I can be comfortable that there is a reasonable likelihood that your company will still be in business 5 years from today in order to justify my purchase of a high-tier plan.
Looking forward to your response. Thank you.
JakeVanPLUSWell its an ONLINE IDE so that is the main difference right off the bat.
Lovable, bolt, and Greta are the competitors in the same niche.
Cursor, Trae, Windsurf, esc are adjacent but there is a crystal clear difference in Online and offline IDE.
As for longevity? Who could know honestly. Online AI IDEs are about a year old, its simply too early to tell.
Vibe coding is huge atm though.
steve9620PLUSThanks, but I don't think Lovable, Bolt, and Greta are exact competitors because (as far as I know), none of these have an IDE (online or offline), support multiple AI models, and support languages beyond JavaScript and HTML. This is why I think Cursor, Windsurf, and Replit are more direct competitors to Bind than Lovable and Greta. It is also why I am strongly considering purchasing this deal.
JakeVanPLUSBind's can only preview JS so that is also a limitation here, it will write the code still though. I would say its just as limited as Lovable atm. Except Lovable is more polished at what it does for obvious reasons.
Although it has been clearly stated that Bind will support more than just JS eventually where as Lovable has no such plans and seems fairly rigid in their plans to expand options.
JakeVanPLUSPlus it’s still very early, bind(and competitors) has a long way to go before being able to replace Cursor and the like.
If that’s your expectation, you will be waiting a long time and will be disappointed.
As of now it’s not even a full replacement for lovable, and lovable isn’t close to Cursor’s ability.
