The Key Missing Feature Holding CLINE Back
I believe CLINE (both the extension and CLI) is missing a significant opportunity to gain wider adoption.
The most valuable feature would be quite simple: automatic detection of OpenAI-compatible endpoints, including the loaded model name and context length.
I’ve implemented this myself and it works very well, but most users struggle with setup and end up with suboptimal configurations.
I understand the focus on a subscription model, but many people start with local models and only upgrade later. Without seamless default support for local llama.cpp setups, CLINE is turning off potential users early.
I would gladly recommend Cline above PI or Opencode if it would be more local friendly for new users.
