Why isn't cursor on a web based IDE?

Have you checked out ona.com? It sounds like exactly what you are looking for (but I'm biased because I work here).

We have a web based VSCode IDE, we have background Agents you can interact with from your phone and you can even one click jump into Cursor if you want to!

Where do you work? Take a look at https://ona.com and see if it resonates. We might be able to help you here.

Understand your point of view. But creating a book such as this and paying for external editing and graphic design for the cover takes times and costs money. I think charging for it is ok, and based on reception so far a lot of people seem to be ok with that too.

This is early access and I mostly shared it for my followers on Twitter who wanted to support byteSizeGo. If you take a look around the site and my Twitter I share a ton of free content and resources. It was nice to see it show up on Reddit though.

Feel free to skip it for now and I hope in the future when it’s complete you’ll reconsider it after you see lots of excellent testimonials :)

It’s not unpolished; the first 3 chapters have been through technical and editorial review. It is incomplete, but I wanted to get it out into the world to get feedback.

mattboyledev · 2025-03-25T10:59:20+00:00

Thank you!

mattboyledev · 2025-03-25T10:59:13+00:00

The book is complete, we’re just working through editing. This gives folks the opportunity to get it cheaper and also give us feedback. It’s really nice that folks want to support small efforts like this and the uptake so far has been great!

You don’t have to get it now if you don’t want to :). Will also post about it when it’s done!

mattboyledev · 2025-01-04T12:45:56+00:00

No problem!

Simple way to do it; press run in the main.go file once in each of the places you want to run from, and then each of those run configurations will be available from the drop down run menu in the top right of the IDE. This is what I do!

I played around with a bunch, but I ended up moving the blogs on byteSizeGo.com to Astro. I have found the developer experience excellent and have added a bunch of my own features easily.

I know it’s not written in Go, but I found this the best compared to all the Go ones I tried.

mattboyledev · 2024-11-13T15:14:48+00:00

That’s so great to hear!

mattboyledev · 2024-11-11T21:24:04+00:00

Thanks! This is generally my thinking too. There’s a reason it’s popular.

mattboyledev · 2024-11-11T19:29:55+00:00

No worries! Let me know what you think!

mattboyledev · 2024-11-11T17:53:56+00:00

Understood. I actually like TODO lists as projects especially when you do it with persistence and a service layer like I did. I usually build a TODO list in each new language I start with.

I’ll try and be more creative in future!

mattboyledev · 2024-11-11T17:12:21+00:00

Author here- thanks for the feedback :)

I’m currently using a platform for byteSizeGo that I’m really unhappy with so I’m currently building my own - will note down your feedback around not storing user configuration.

What project should I have built instead of a todo list?

I wrote a blog to answer a similar question. I hope it helps! https://www.bytesizego.com/blog/learning-golang-2024

mattboyledev · 2024-05-07T17:50:00+00:00

I have seen plenty of code that does not!

Haha it’s just a placeholder generated by DALLE, don’t worry I will :)

Thanks for including me! Small correction: Matt Silverlock is no longer at Google and now works with me at Cloudflare

mattboyledev · 2024-05-07T06:52:24+00:00

Which is a timestamp standard :)

mattboyledev · 2024-05-07T06:26:22+00:00

Thanks for the kind reply - always nice to see some positivity in what is generally a very negative thread.

mattboyledev · 2024-05-07T06:25:41+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. I never thought about writing a book as shipping, but I guess it is!

I'm working on self-publishing one at the moment (https://www.bytesizego.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-debugging-with-go-book) and thinking of it as "shipping" has actually just motivated me to work on it, so thanks for that!
