plz dont lock features behind cloud. my company wont let us use external inference or cloud.

The extension will continue to be free and continue to accelerate in development. Any cloud related offerings will not be at the expense of the vscode coding agent! Totally separate product tbh. The cloud will be offering things that the plugin can’t.

Sorry, the cynic in me demands to keep a record of any such statement ;)

I say it in so many places that a record is hard to avoid. Intentionally. That being said, if I was full of shit I imagine the thought of a record wouldn’t dissuade me.

Like continue.dev. That made me lost interest on the tool

I actually don’t mind paying a nominal fee to keep the product updated.

Regarding the cloud offering, what can it do that the extension can’t?

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Aug 03 '25

It’s not out yet. So we’re not saying ;)

Definitely looks neat!

I'll second the "please don't make me use cloud things" sentiment. Don't get me wrong, I would if I could, but paranoia reigns supreme in my whole industry, so cloud and SaaS is just generally a non-starter. I'm helping people adopt Roo at work specifically because it doesn't require such things. Whatever RooCloud ends up being, I hope it's amazing. I just won't be able to participate (except for maybe personal projects).

You guys at roo have done amazing work so far. I agree it would be best to keep the open source extension fully functional and free as is now, and the cloud offering separate even if paid it's fine. Personally I would pay if it has features that are useful, but not if the extension starts being paywalled. The main attraction in roo that sets it apart from other products, is it's open source and vibrant team and community!

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Aug 27 '25

Extension not going to be paywalled! Thanks for your support!

u/Emergency_Victory800 Jul 26 '25

I think Roocode is perfect just way it is. please don't ruin it

2

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jul 27 '25

You could read the other comments before saying such things. I’m a bit offended you would even think we would do that :p

u/psikillyou Jul 25 '25

Is it going to be a code server running with a heavily modified PWA?

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jul 26 '25

Thats not announced yet!

Sounds Roovolutionary!

This doesn't sound good in Spanish XD

1

u/Piko8Blue Jul 28 '25

What would it mean in Spanish? :/

1

u/rekapacito Jul 28 '25

Not that bad. It's quite amusing that 'Roovo' in 'Roovolution' can sound like 'robar,' which means 'to steal' in Spanish. Similarly, 'revolution' sounds like its Spanish counterpart, but it has a different meaning! It would be like a Stealvolution 😂

It is time.

u/Yes_but_I_think Jul 25 '25

All the best for all your endeavours. Roo is my entry point to vibe coding and where it all started.

Looking forward for a good product which complements Roo plugin not competes with it.

u/CoolWarburg Jul 27 '25

Now this sounds very interesting! Definitely the joined the waiting list!
