Hi folks! Great to see our work on the front page, and I'm happy to answer questions.

Regarding next steps, we're currently working on React integration, with Python and JavaScript server-side web frameworks coming next. If you're interested, here's our survey/waiting list: https://forms.gle/8MeXwGjpBFDeGNQw9

Thanks for this Jose, it looks great.

I only have one question and it's not a very important one; the name.

Why is it "tidewave" and not "tidalwave"? That just sounds wrong. (Told you it wasn't important :D )

EDIT: I think I might have answered my own question, there's another AI mortgage payment tool already called Tidalwave. I guess this saves confusion.

It was honestly a mistake from my side, as I am not a native speaker! But I was told to stick with it, since it has a gentler and unique meaning.

No worries. I think it's what I'd call a "happy accident", I think it will work well. It actually makes searching online for it easier.

Very cool, we use it as MCP server when we develop things using Claude Code... how would using Tidewave Web change our workflow?

You can think of Tidewave MCP as integrating the agent with the language runtime, while Tidewave Web integrates the agent with your actual app and its interface. It knows your views and templates, it can correlate it with the rendered page, and then automate the browser to implement and validate features.

Our announcement post goes more into detail and explains why moving the agent to the browser means you (the developer) can spend more time out of the loop: https://tidewave.ai/blog/tidewave-web-phoenix-rails
