## Why poorcoder?
14
+
15
+
Unlike IDE-integrated solutions (Cursor, aider, Claude Code, etc.), poorcoder is designed to work with your existing web-based LLM subscriptions (~$20/month) while maintaining your terminal workflow. This approach:

17
+
- Is more cost-effective than dedicated API usage
18
+
- Leverages the polished UX of web/mobile LLM interfaces
19
+
- Preserves your terminal-based development workflow
20

- Follows Unix philosophy (small tools doing one thing well)
