Windsurf Preview: Bringing Applications to Life Inside Your IDE

The Windsurf Preview feature represents a significant advancement in IDE technology, seamlessly integrating application testing and development in a single environment.

By allowing developers to view and interact with their running applications directly within the IDE, Windsurf eliminates the traditional context-switching between coding and testing environments, creating a more unified and efficient workflow.

The Windsurf Preview feature caught my attention immediately. Being able to view and interact with my application directly in the IDE rather than constantly switching between windows has transformed my coding experience.

What really sparked my interest is how clicking on components in the preview automatically sends relevant errors to Cascade, creating this seamless feedback loop between code, preview, and AI assistance. It’s thoughtfully integrated from day one, making development more intuitive even for those of us who don’t code full-time.
