🚀 Void (YC S24) launched! The open source Cursor alternative "Void is an open source Cursor alternative. Write code with the best AI tools, retain full control over your data, and access powerful AI features." 🌐 www.voideditor.com 📁 File system awareness: Void can answer questions about your entire codebase. It builds an index of all your files and uses it automatically, so you don’t manually select relevant files. 👀 View and edit underlying prompts: Void lets you open up the hood and view/edit every single prompt in your chat history. This is really important if you want to understand how the LLM got its answer, and it’s lacking in most closed-source tools. ⚡ Fast edits across 1000s of lines: Even if your file is thousands of lines long, Void applies changes almost instantly. They prompt the AI to make changes the way a human would instead of rewriting the whole file. 🔒 Full privacy / data control: All of Void’s prompt-building is done on your own computer. This means you can self-host your own model and have your data never leave your network. Or, you can connect directly to Claude, GPT, or Gemini, and not worry about sending your company data through a middle layer of communication. ⭐️ Check out the Void editor and star them on GitHub!: https://lnkd.in/dXXWi6E4 🙏 Please share! Help spread the word that they’re building an open source Cursor alternative. ✅ If you’re interested in helping them build, join their Discord: https://lnkd.in/gJaw9Urp ✉️ Or shoot them an email. They rely on contributions, even small ones, and they’ll help you get up and running as a contributor! Congrats Andrew Pareles & Mathew Pareles!! https://lnkd.in/gVqUmkVb

Last night we rang in the end of the Y Combinator Summer 24 batch by welcoming the recently graduated companies to the YC Alumni Network! Being a member of the YC community is core to how we have grown Arc over the years. We are lucky to have such great partners and co-hosts like Vouch Insurance, Vanta, Fondo, and Tandem who without, last night would not have been possible. The teams from Arc and Tandem got into a pretty intense game of Jenga last night, pictured below. Which team do you think took home the trophy?
