In any YC application, they request a list of competitors and why your product is better! Curious about what OP listed as competitors in the application.

Here's my application: https://manicode.notion.site/Manicode-YC-application-c52f592...

I listed: Cursor, Devin, Codium, Augment, Greptile, Lovable.dev, Aider.chat, mentat.ai, devlo.ai, etc

So I did mention Aider. I was definitely aware that it existed, I just hadn't used it.

Maybe the person reading the application was not aware of the competition either.
