Feedback 1: The README really needs more details. What does it do/not do? Don't assume people have used Cursor. If it is a Cursor alternative, does it support all of Cursor's features?

As a non-Cursor user who does AI programming, there is nothing there to make me want to try it out.

Feedback 2: I feel any new agentic AI tool for programming should have a comparison against Aider[1] which for me is the tool to benchmark against. Can you give a compelling reason to use this over Aider? Don't just say "VSCode" - I'm sure there are extensions for VSCode that work with Aider.

As an example of the questions I have:

- Does it have something like Aider's repomap (or better)?

- To what granularity can I limit the context?
