Don't one-shot prompt your idea with LLMs.

Begin with a basic design system, well-structured PRDs, and a set of clear context instructions.

Constantly having to correct the model to align with your vision is exhausting.

Focusing on design is where it's at.

Thanks to your feedback, Harker just got a whole lot better!
More flexible, more reliable, and easier to fit into your workflow

What’s new:
• Persistent mode (stays active while you click around)
• Option to use the same shortcut instead of Enter

I’m thrilled to see Harker on the @HeyDesigner newsletter. Today, I'm happy. HeyDesigner is one of the best and most useful resources for designers, and it makes me giddy to see a product I built mentioned there.

Harker is a speech-to-text tool you can use anywhere on your Mac to speak instead of typing. Invisible until you need it, and runs 100% locally. So it's private, you pay for it once, and is yours forever.

This could be a game-changer! You can now use Vercel’s v0 within Cursor as a custom provider!

1. Paste your v0 API key in Cursor settings OpenAI API Key
2. Override OpenAI Base URL to api.v0.dev/v1 and verify
3. Pick any OpenAI and Cursor will internally use v0
v0
v0 converts natural language descriptions into code and UI. Build landing pages, full-stack apps, and more.

In today's AI-driven development landscape, the gap between idea and execution is smaller than ever. Almost anyone with an idea can create a product and try to launch it in the market.
Look around you, good design remains the key differentiator, now more than ever. Show you care.

I built Harker because I was tired of paying a fee for something my computer can already do greatly.

And I wanted more precise than the built in dictation to "talk" with Cursor.
Now I use it for emails, task lists, and writing wherever I am.

It's on PH today : www.producthunt.com/products/ha...

Following up on this : bsky.app/profile/mnl...

I've found a better way. I still use the same prompts folder but have now created a custom mode called "Exe." This mode expects the prompt file reference as the first parameter and then "executes" it.

All that hype around AI-aided IDEs like Cursor, Widsurf, or VSCode+Copilot. Just type in a single prompt, and your product magically appears.

If you tried, you know that's not true

But there's a way. Here's a thread on the best approach I found to get real results ... 🧵

On a mac with a Logitech MX Master 3S? I finally find a way to fix the scroll wheel :

1. Install Logi Options+
2. Select your mouse, disable “Smooth Scrolling” and “Smart Shift,” and set the speed to 0%.

📣 Hey Obsidian users!

I have my system for tracking projects and planning my days. On paper.

I wanted the best of both worlds, so I built a plugin that scans handwritten notes & converts them to markdown.

I’m thinking of refining and releasing it, if there’s enough interest.

What do you think?

I'm trying Cursor 0.43. If you use Cursor and download the update, look at the new Composer UX with "Agent".
The speed at which these tools are evolving is mind boggling. And it keeps accelerating.

Do you use Cursor?

Create a folder with the prompts you use the most. You can refine them over time.

When you start a new project, copy that folder over, and use @ in Cursor Chat to reference the prompt you need.
Enjoy your prompt library directly in Cursor.
