Coding and building sites
Ship a feature, or ship a small site.
A full development environment, an editor plugin, and a no-code site builder are not the same thing. For work you can finish directly in the mainland, start with TRAE.
First pick
TRAE
TRAE
A full AI development environment that opens in the mainland. From an idea to code you can edit, it comes closest to finishing the job.
Opens directlySite (opens in a new window)How to finish this job in mainland China
Where to open it. The China site trae.cn was checked. The page is in Chinese, and it lists a Beijing address and a company phone number. trae.ai, outside China, is a separate site and is not this list’s preferred entrance. https://www.trae.cn/
What it is good for. A full AI development environment that opens in the mainland. From an idea to code you can edit, it comes closest to finishing the job.
What it is not. Not an editor plugin and not a no-code site builder. Cursor is often compared with it, but Cursor usually does not open in the mainland, so it is not the first pick.
Alternate
Lingma
Alibaba Cloud
A coding assistant that stays in the editor you already use, for people who do not want a whole new IDE.
Opens directlySite (opens in a new window)How to finish this job in mainland China
Where to open it. Alibaba Cloud domain lingma.aliyun.com. It opens in China. https://lingma.aliyun.com/
What it is good for. A coding assistant that stays in the editor you already use, for people who do not want a whole new IDE.
What it is not. Not a full environment that runs a project from zero, and not a one-sentence site builder. As an editor plugin it is close to Baidu Comate.
Alternate
Baidu Comate
Baidu
Baidu’s coding plugin. Close to Lingma. Choose by the cloud you already use.
Opens directlySite (opens in a new window)How to finish this job in mainland China
Where to open it. The Chinese page at comate.baidu.com opened. The title is “Baidu Comate.” https://comate.baidu.com/zh
What it is good for. Baidu’s coding plugin. Close to Lingma. Choose by the cloud you already use.
What it is not. Not a standalone site generator. It is close to Lingma. Use the cloud you already use.
Alternate
Miaoda
Miaoda
Skip traditional code and build a small app or page from one sentence.

Where to open it. miaoda.cn is a Chinese site. It was checked and opened. https://www.miaoda.cn/
What it is good for. Skip traditional code and build a small app or page from one sentence.
What it is not. Not the tool for editing an existing code repository. Repository work stays with TRAE or Lingma.
Alternate
Cursor
Anysphere
Often the comparison on a complex repository, but the mainland usually needs a special network.
May need a special networkSite (opens in a new window)How to finish this job in mainland China
Where to open it. cursor.com is a product outside China. The mainland usually needs a special network. This list does not explain how to change a network. In China you can use TRAE instead, but do not treat it as the exact same tool. https://cursor.com/
What it is good for. Often the comparison on a complex repository, but the mainland usually needs a special network.
What it is not. Not the first pick, because it usually does not open in the mainland. The catalog does not call TRAE the same software, and it does not judge Cursor worse on features.
Alternate
v0
Vercel
Build a site interface through chat. v0.dev redirects to v0.app, and it usually does not open in the mainland.
