Cursor Acquires Graphite

I'm really used to my Graphite workflow and I can't imagine going without it anymore. An acquisition like this is normally not good news for the product.
fosterfriends•1h ago
Heard on the worry, but I can confirm Graphite isn’t going anywhere. We're doubling down on building the best workflow, now with more resourcing than ever before!
zeroonetwothree•1h ago
We’ve heard this many times before with other acquisitions so don’t be upset if people are a bit skeptical.
firloop•1h ago
Supermaven said the same thing when they were acquired by Cursor and then EOLed a year later. Honestly, it makes sense to me that Cursor would shut down products it acquires - I just dislike pretending that something else is happening.

"trust me bro" (6 months later) "An update about your graphite workspaces"
jacobegold•1h ago
we are a 70 person team, bringing in significant revenue through our product, have widespread usage at massive companies like shopify robinhood etc, this is a MUCH MUCH MUCH different story than supermaven (which I used myself and was sad to see go) which was a tiny team with a super-early product when they got acquired.

everyone is staying on to keep making the graphite product great. we're all excited to have these resources behind us!

Not your fault at all, but there is a ton of precedent to be skeptical that these pronouncements end up being accurate.

twistedfred87•24m ago
There is literally nothing anyone can say to convince me any product or person is safe during an acquisition. Time and time again it's proven to just not be true. Some manager/product owner/VP/c-suite will eventually have the deciding factor and I trust none of them to actually care about the product they're building or the community that uses it
adamors•15m ago
I really wanted to give them a try actually, now I definitely won’t.
archon810•15m ago
We currently let loose Gemini, Cursor Bugbot, Qodo, and even Sentry started reviewing PRs now.

My usually prefer Gemini but sometimes other tools catch bugs Gemini doesn't.

As someone who has never heard of Graphite, can anyone share their experience comparing it to any of the tools above?

Hi! One of the Graphite co-founders here. Happy to answer any questions :)
Areibman•46m ago
What's the main synergy between Cursor and Graphite that led you to join? Stacked PRs? AI code review? Something else?
babelfish•38m ago
Stacked PRs are a really natural fit for vibe coding workflows, it helps turn illegible 10k+ line PRs into manageable chunks that you can review independently. (Not affiliated with Cursor or Graphite)
tetha•1h ago
Heh, I read Graphite as the monitoring tool[1] and was very confused for a second what they want with that old thing.

acheong08•51m ago
Took me a month to learn jujutsu. Was initially a skeptic but pulled through. Git was always easy to me. Its model somehow just clicks in my brain. So when I first switched to jj, it made a lot of easy things hard due to the lack of staging (which is often part of my workflow). But now I see the value & it really does make hard things easy. My commit history is much cleaner for one.
Phlogistique•10m ago
Well, Graphite solves the problem of how to keep your stack of GitHub pull requests in sync while you squash merge the lowest pull request in the stack; which as far as I know jujutsu does not help with.
dvtkrlbs•1h ago
I guess this makes sense Github announced they are gonna bring stacked PRs this year so I think that kinda makes Graphite obsolute.
servercobra•52m ago
Woahhhhh I missed this. Got a reference or link? My Googling is failing me. That's my biggest complaint about Github coming from Gerrit for Open Stack.

Do you have confidence they can execute?
everfrustrated•43m ago
GitHub have proven the ability to execute very well when they _want_ to. Their product people are top notch.

Given the VP of GitHub recently posted a screenshot of their new stacked diff concept on X, I'd be amazed if Graphite folks (whos product is adding this function) didn't get wind of it and look for a quick sell.

steveklabnik•23m ago
This was "announced" in October, and last week they were saying they're shipping to trusted partners to kick the tires before a real release, with posted screenshots.

So, we'll see what it ends up like, but they have apparently already executed.

jjmarr•1h ago
If my company has an existing Cursor subscription, can we get Graphite for free?
gravypod•36m ago
If these ai companies had 100x dev output, why would you acquire a company? Why not just show screenshots to your agent and get it to implement everything?

Is it market share? Because I don't know who has a bigger user base that cursor.

knes•35m ago
Blacksmith.sh acquisition in 3, 2, 1 ...

Then Cursor takes on GitHub for the control of the repo.

Startups should check the internet before naming them after tools like Graphite for monitoring https://graphiteapp.org/.
nozzlegear•25m ago
Graphite should check the dictionary before naming itself after a soft, black, lustrous form of carbon.

AbraKdabra•17m ago
Yeah well at least the OG graphite is not software.
ravirajx7•26m ago
I’m working on something in a similar direction and would appreciate feedback from people who’ve built or operated this kind of thing at scale.

The idea is to hook into Bitbucket PR webhooks so that whenever a PR is raised on any repo, Jenkins spins up an isolated job that acts as an automated code reviewer. That job would pull the base branch and the feature branch, compute the diff, and use that as input for an AI-based review step. The prompt would ask the reviewer to behave like a senior engineer or architect, follow common industry review standards, and return structured feedback - explicitly separating must-have issues from nice-to-have improvements.

The output would be generated as markdown and posted back to the PR, either as a comment or some attached artifact, so it’s visible alongside human review. The intent isn’t to replace human reviewers, but to catch obvious issues early and reduce review load.

What I’m unsure about is whether diff-only context is actually sufficient for meaningful reviews, or if this becomes misleading without deeper repo and architectural awareness. I’m also concerned about failure modes - for example, noisy or overconfident comments, review fatigue, or teams starting to trust automated feedback more than they should.

If you’ve tried something like this with Bitbucket/Jenkins, or think this is fundamentally a bad idea, I’d really like to hear why. I’m especially interested in practical lessons.

bangaladore•25m ago
Imo Cursor did had the first mover advantage by making the first well known AI coding agent IDE. But I can't help but think they have no realistic path forward.

As someone who is a huge IDE fan, I vastly prefer the experience from Codex CLI compared to having that built into my IDE, which I customize for my general purposes. The fact it's a fork of VSCode (or whatever) will make me never use it. I wonder if they bet wrong.

But that's just usability and preference. When the SOTA model makers give out tokens for substantially less than public API cost, how in the world is Cursor going to stay competitive? The moat just isn't there (in fact I would argue its non-existent)

archon810•19m ago
As someone who uses Cursor, i don't understand why anyone would use CLI AI coding tools as opposed to tools integrated in the IDE. There's so much more flexibility and integration, I feel like I would be much less productive otherwise. And I say this as someone who is fluent in vim in the shell.

Now, would I prefer to use vs code with an extension instead? Yes, in the perfect world. But Cursor makes a better, more cohesive overall product through their vertical integration, and I just did the jump (it's easy to migrate) and can't go back.
