Kite is a developer tool for Mac that provides internet-connected programming assistance. It integrates with coding workflows to help software engineers write code more efficiently.

“These markets are so large and they’re growing so fast, we’re actually seeing brand effects take place. And we haven’t seen that since the internet. And by brand effects, I mean if you become the household name, you will get the adoption.” From 2014 to 2021, Kite was a startup using AI to help developers write code. We have stopped working on Kite, and are no longer supporting the Kite software.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
