You may want to add a comparison to similar tools to your readme; there are quite a few.

Congrats. What tools do you see as the closest alternatives and how do they compare?

anonyfox Jan 21, 2014 View on HN

Similar spirit, different tech stack i'd say. :)

It is not obvious to me how this service differenciates itself from say ghost. Some sort of comparison chart would be helpful.

astrojams Oct 7, 2013 View on HN

It looks good. How does it differ from Ghost?

nomoreipg Mar 5, 2024 View on HN

How's this different from Adrenaline or Cursor or Bloop

evaneykelen Mar 16, 2025 View on HN

Do you have a reference to the differences? I can't find it on their website nor on GitHub.

oblio Jun 27, 2016 View on HN

What's your current stack? Maybe we can compare and contrast the two stacks.

They are two completely different tools, they can't be compared, serve different purposes.

I wonder how it compares to orbstack
