Show HN: Void, an open-source Cursor/GitHub Copilot alternative
Hey HN, I'm Andrew, one of the creators of Void. I made this open source version of Cursor where you can get all of Cursor's core features but in a fully-customizable IDE (ctrl+k, ctrl+L). We love Cursor but there are so many other features we want to build, like allowing AI to edit multiple files at once, or giving AI better understanding of your file system. Void is the open-source, fully customizable tool we've been wanting.
The hard part: we're building Void as a fork of vscode. The repo has great documentation for extensions, but going deeper gets pretty involved. All of the code is OOP-based, and they mount DOM nodes the old-school way (which is what React was supposed to solve..). So adding new UI features isn't exactly trivial. Microsoft also made its extension marketplace closed-source so we (and Cursor) have to hack our way through it. One thing we're excited about is refactoring and creating docs so that it's much easier for anyone to contribute.
The other benefit of open source is we don't need to hide how our prompts are built, so we can transfer the private API logic that Cursor has right onto your local machine. This lets you host a model on-prem and have your data stay completely private. It also means you can go directly to LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) instead of going through us as a middleman.
There's still a lot to build, and full disclosure, we are very early stage. But we're super excited about building and have a working prototype that we're quickly adding features to.
Let us know if there's anything you want to see in a Cursor-style editor. Or feel free to shoot us a pull request. Cheers!

Ask HN: Prescription Scanner & Medication Tracker App
I'm working on a concept for an app that could streamline and simplify how people manage their medications. The idea is simple: users can scan handwritten doctor prescriptions, and the app will automatically identify the medicines, show their use cases, side effects, and dosage instructions. Additionally, users can add medications to a tracker that reminds them about doses and helps monitor their treatment progress.
Key Features:
Prescription Scanning: Uses OCR technology to scan paper prescriptions and convert them into digital text. Medicine Identification: Automatically provides information about the prescribed medicines, including use cases and potential side effects. Interaction Warnings: Alerts users of any potential drug interactions with existing medications. Dosage Tracking: Users can set up reminders and track their medication intake over time. Health Insights: Monitor treatment effectiveness through reports and analytics based on user input. Problem Solved: Many people struggle with reading handwritten prescriptions and keeping track of medications, which can lead to errors in dosage or drug interactions. This app ensures users stay informed about their prescriptions and medication routines, minimizing confusion and risk.
