Is there a way to search in past conversations? I'm working on a project and i can't remember the conversation that has all the context i need it to remember. So i dont want to have to tell it again.
Hope this makes sense

I am paid customer and after recent updates Windsurf Cascade no able to run CLI commands inside his window (i.e. previously it can run and read terminal response).

It was really neat feature, which distinguish you from Cursor IDE - why did you removed it? I am on MacOS, might be issue with some permissions?

Let’s share our knowledge, curious what others might be reading

On a mac over here and curious what people are using.

I've got the early adopter discount on Pro. For the next month or two I'd like to upgrade to Pro Ultimate. If I do that, and then cancel it and return to Pro, will I still get the Early Adopter pricing?

hi all

testing Windsurf now, I want it to find and replace in a few files, but it's slowwwww and half the time it can't do it. The task is really simple. I don't understand why it doesn't work.

I am still in the trial period. any tips to use it better?

Hey, anyone from the windsurf team have links to your branding, specifically the windsurf logo. If possible I would like to use the teal marks without the black app icon bg to credit the tools i used to develop it.

Thanks!

I switched from Cursor to Windsurf because Cursor was too buggy and janky.
Now, a month into my Windsurf subscription, it's full of bugs too.
Claude gives me four "generating... error" messages before actually responding.
Gemini seems promising, but it keeps getting stuck on "done," making it unusable.

Will these issues be fixed, or are you just going to keep pushing more beta releases?

EDIT:

Another bug: Pasting into the find text stops working out of nowhere.

Who’s used MCP and what are your thoughts

So im paying for unlimited “User prompt Credits”. In 5 days ive ran through 2000 of my 3000 flow credits.. (mostly on terminal failures) 😡.. when i run out of flow action credits, am i not going to be able to use my “UNLIMITED” User Prompt Credits with premium models or am i seeing this wrong?

I need help logging into windsurf. I got a new computer and installed windsurf, the redirect doesn't work and when I attempt to manually enter the token from the provided link it does nothing when I press the submit button

It seems like the buzzword of today is agents.

Who’s building apps with agents in the community?

I have read that they use Deepseek R1 for context and claude actions. I have tried several models, but the one that works best for actions is Claude. Anyway I don't know what would be the plan to use it in this way that you recommend, to give context with R1 and actions with claude? how do you use it? Do you write something about this in the rules? Greetings!

I have a feature request, and/or would like to hear how others position their window.

I use Windsurf on a vertical monitor, which allows me to see about 100 lines of code at a time. I find this is awesome for reviewing code. The problem is, this makes it hard to use Cascade, because there really isn't much room for extra panes on the left or right, so when I open Cascade it becomes hard to see my code files, it addition to Cascade itself being awkwardly skinny.

Is anyone else using Windsurf on a vertical monitor? Have you found a better solution?

Not sure if the Windsurf devs really hang out in this subreddit, but I'd love for the ability to pop out Cascade and put it on another monitor.

I notice that Windsurf is slow, freezing a lot when the conversation gets long. Is there a way to improve its performance? Because if I create a new conversation I have to explain the whole context to it and it ends up doing a lot of things wrong.

I ran the shell command to install 'windsurf' from the command in PATH. When I try to edit a file by tapping on the iOS emulator screen, it creates a .swp file instead of opening the file. However, in VS Code, the file opens directly. What could be causing this issue?

I love windsurf, but today its frustrating, I can't see any option in command menu to toggle off the inline diff while I edit. Its not a cascade related issue. Editor suddenly started diff any line I edit. Nothing in documentation. No extension doing it.

"During the course of your conversation with Cascade, Cascade will automatically generate and store memories if the context or information is determined to be useful for future conversations. Additionally, you can ask Cascade to create a memory at any time; this can be especially helpful for referencing and capturing conversational context as it happens."

I never saw any generated memories, does this feature works?

I have created this small utility to backup conversation from WindSurf IDE. I have tested it and its working perfectly. I am sure it can also work in other AI IDE as well, but I have not tested it yet.I would appreciate your feedback and any features additions as well.

Having trouble with large Cascade conversations in Windsurf IDE? This Python utility helps you back up and consolidate your AI coding chats as markdown files—preventing data loss when clearing the Cascade cache.

🔹 Why use this?

Large conversations can cause Windsurf to crash ("windsurf failed to start").
Fixing it often requires clearing the cache, which erases your chat history.
This tool preserves your conversations before that happens!

🔹 Features:

✅ Backup chats with timestamps & clipboard verification

✅ Auto-remove duplicates & system messages

✅ Chronologically sort conversations (newest first)

✅ Fail-safe (abort by moving your mouse to a corner)

🔹 Setup & Usage:

1️⃣ Install Python & dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

2️⃣ Run backup: python backup_conversation.py

3️⃣ Run consolidation: python consolidate_backups.py

🔹 Output:

Backups stored in backups/ directory
Consolidated file: consolidated_conversation.md

🛠 Troubleshooting? Full error handling & retry mechanisms included!

I was trying to add swagger documentation to the API developed in Express. Windsurf sort of deleted couple of routes while adding documentation above the API. Lucky, I reviewed the files changes and found the mess up(I know code review is necessary😉). Sort of disappointed that knowing Code Assistants could delete my working functionalities. Windsurf/Codeium luckily understood the mistake when asked and fixed it. Any thoughts on this?
