Maybe because they had a release hiatus for a bit. V1 was cool and had great ideas / interface, but needed some polish in practice (new models weren't well supported, it for in endless cycles, etc.) The explicit planning, server model, visible steps and a few other novel things were impressive though.

Hopefully the V2 will bring the polish and reliability.

Yeah, you're spot on. Rather than just continuously marketing and iterating on the v1, which was designed more for AI codegen's early experimental phase, I decided to go heads down on engineering and try to get to more of a step change on reliability and robustness.

It's not a total rewrite and is still based on v1's foundations, but quite a lot of the core functionality has been reworked.

Are you getting paid to research AI products in some capacity or is this a personal interest and time investment?

Hey. It’s a personal interest. I don’t know how and when it started but now it’s become a habit.

Thanks! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
