I am a dedicated user of Cursor IDE and would like to propose the development of a web-based version. This would not only cater to users who switch devices frequently or prefer not to manage installations but also enhance flexibility and accessibility for all.
One exciting aspect of this web-based IDE could be its ability to synchronize with the local IDE installation. Users could seamlessly transition between local and web environments without losing context or workflow continuity. Furthermore, offering a paid cloud instance could serve as an additional revenue stream for Cursor IDE while providing users with scalable, secure, and readily available computing resources.
Yes, I know that this is a process and would require development, but I believe it would make a significant contribution to Cursor…
I completely agree with this suggestion.
A web-based version of Cursor IDE would be a game-change-especially for users like me who frequently switch between devices or prefer not to deal with installations. The idea of syncing with the local IDE for seamless transitions is brilliant, and introducing a paid cloud instance could open up new possibilities for both users and the Cursor team. I hope this idea is seriously considered!
I think you can achieve this already with Remote SSH extension
or you can setup Cursor CLI on VPS for remote building
for web dev I once added an endpoint for Cursor CLI, simple prompt textarea and I could continue vibe coding on my mobile from the dog park. (used ngrok to develop locally)
