Show HN: Mesa – A collaborative canvas IDE built for agent-first development
Hi HN - I'm Ryan a product designer who codes, and I built Mesa. Current IDEs feel wrong for the type of development being done now - the focus is still on files.
Mesa puts the focus on the full workflow: your agent, terminal, browser, and files all live as equal nodes on a canvas with full multiplayer support. (think figma but for code)
I was tired of the overhead of switching windows, tabs, and terminals across multiple projects. Inspired by TouchDesigner and Factorio, I wanted something more fluid and visual. Been using it as a total replacement for Cursor at work every day now. Being able to see multiple repos at once and control agents on each without navigating windows has freed up my headspace and increased productivity.
It's free to try — would love to know what you think!
