This looks very slick. However, as others have said, uploading all source code to your servers is a pretty serious issue when working on anything other than open source projects.

Also, when asking about editors while signing up, you listed "XCode". That's not the correct spelling, it should be "Xcode" (lowercase c). Also, you should allow for selecting multiple languages/editors. I selected Swift/Xcode because that's my day job, but I also use Swift/Vim in some cases, and I use Vim for languages other than Swift/Obj-C. In fact, I'm guessing Kite won't be nearly as useful for Swift/Xcode as it would be for other languages, because Xcode already provides a lot of this functionality (e.g. intelligent code completion and quick help for any API).




I wouldn't say Xcode is providing this... kite looks to be going much further in providing examples, alternatives, etc with a diff screen real estate philosophy. I welcome it.


Yeah Xcode doesn't do everything Kite does, but it does enough that Kite isn't nearly so compelling there. And Xcode has the benefit of being 100% accurate with its code completion and quick help, whereas it remains to be seen how accurate Kite will be on that front.
