Origin rolled out Aug 17 in early beta on all paid plans: repo hosting with bidirectional real-time PR comment sync against GitHub (which stays source of truth for synced repos), plus native Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite integrations. Cursor says deeper agent-native features are still coming. Guillermo Rauch announced same-day that you can deploy to Vercel from Origin, with the jab "and unlike GitHub, it's online"; then admitted in a reply that Vercel itself was "stuck because of github rn." HN carried "Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub" at 609 points simultaneously.
