Show HN: Sweep – Cursor Tab Alternative for JetBrains IDEs (plugins.jetbrains.com)
2 points by williamzeng0 314 days ago
Hi HN, we’re Kevin and William from Sweep. We’ve spent the last couple of months building a custom tab model (like Cursor/Windsurf) for JetBrains IDEs. You can use the plugin in your favorite IDE via the JetBrains marketplace.

Our autocomplete is aware of your recent changes, has full-codebase context, and is exceptionally fast (200ms P50 latency). We’ve deployed this across regions in us-west, us-east, and eu!

Because we have access to the IDE, we can also use the IDE’s code graph/index to automatically lookup definitions and references across your project. This helps the LLM see the exact definition rather than having to guess.

We’ve also shipped a strong coding agent that runs faster than Claude Code with minimal performance loss.

We’d love to get your thoughts and feedback!

Wait, does JetBrains have its own LLM plugin that works like Cursor works?

(There is also a GitHub Copilot extension, but my experience with that in VSCode has been that it's weird and insufficiently eager to give suggestions)
