Windsurf
How vibe coders and indie builders use Windsurf: 10 projects shared since May 2026 were built with it, and 63 were built for it.
How these numbers are counted and compared: the method.
Summary
10 projects shared since May 2026 were built with Windsurf, 3 of them in the last 12 weeks. Another 63 projects were built for it. 0.1% of the projects from the last 4 weeks that stated their stack named it. The numbers are still too small to say whether it is growing or cooling. The tools most often named alongside it are Claude Code, Cursor and Claude API. Over the last 4 weeks, Red Horizon drew the most discussion (17 comments). It lets the player pilot a Mars cargo delivery ship, with an optional AI autopilot named Jev that flies the ship and a radio that plays in-game chatter.
