Convo - Mobile AI Editor

Inspiration

We looked at Replit’s ease, Vim’s quick cursor moves, and the hive mindset of collective coding—and added a touch of windsurf’s smooth flow.

What it does

Code on your phone: full editor, tab support, syntax highlighting, and a built-in terminal.
AI help: talk or type instructions—refactor, wrap loops, even look up docs.
Files & automation: browse local or remote (SSH/SFTP), drag in files as context, and trigger tools from the omnibar.

How we built it

Made with Flutter for fast cross-platform UI, xterm for the terminal panel, and dartssh2 for SSH/SFTP. We focused on thumb-friendly layouts and quick voice-to-code feedback.

Challenges

Fitting a powerful editor into a small screen without clutter
Handling spotty voice transcription
Balancing speed and data use for AI calls

Accomplishments

SSH Terminal in app
Voice command to code snippet in under 2s
Native-feeling drag-and-drop context support
Lots of features in smaller screens.

What we learned

On mobile, tiny delays feel huge and crowded UIs feel cramped. Voice needs to be loose enough to understand you but strict enough to stay on track. Small design details—like padding and micro-animations—make a big difference.
