   "Known limitations You cannot currently edit files in Whiteboard. If this is something that you find yourself wanting to do, please file an issue!"

   Seems like a big limitation for an "IDE"

      Seems more like IDE is "I Don't Edit" in this case

         yeah, ack that IDE is confusing. mentioned this elsewhere, but we ultimately settled on the term 'IDE' because we've found that most people use vscode to review code nowadays, almost exclusively (so it makes it a bit easier to draw the comp in your mind).

         we ended up changing "ide" -> "canvas" on the website + github, but can't edit the post above.

         btw, we're also strongly considering adding an editing feature, but not sure how opinionated we want to be on how agentic it should be, so decided to go in favor of not shipping it (yet)
