He made it to double digits today. 2 years ago, he was completely paralysed in his backend.

Seen that Cloudflare are getting the hype on remote MCP server front, but why?

the sdk already supports it, is it the lazy way? am i missing something?

New side quest unlocked

Shame that we can't add new agent modes to Cursor in the same way as MCP / rules.

Any plans? @ericzakariasson

AI is so cute sometimes, predicting over a month of work.

I reckon we'll be done before the end of today

i thought cursor's system prompt would pack more of a punch!

- it's only 62 lines
- most of it relates to tool use
- all the tools are really simple (no shade, i just expected more)

link to more leaked system prompts v0, replit, devin etc ⬇️

Most evenings, I'm working on Scrapezy after finishing my 9-5

It's exciting, but exhausting.

And 100% not as glamorous as you might see on TikTok.

never thought I'd be excited for a feature before, but Custom Chat modes in Cursor are now here

Recording videos is my worst nightmare - been a while and all the self doubt came flooding back!

Any tips for dealing with it better?

chat, whats your thoughts on people busting out tins of tuna on the train as a snack?

currently being stank out, only an hour and a half to go....

I've given in!

Playwright tests have been added to the project.

As features stack up, I'm getting bored of testing things manually, so I've had to build some small automated tests to shift the burden.

Cursor agent is great, but gotta make sure it works, especially with B2B!

launched on product hunt today

(not featured obviously)

how many LinkedIn + Twitter messages have I odd offering to sell me upvotes?

double digits..... most referencing YC companies. either the whole thing is a joke, or grifters just be grifting
March 5, 2025 at 4:40 PM
I massively underestimated how hard B2B can be. It's slow, painful and feels like walking in treacle sometimes.

I think if I hadn't followed @DmytroKrasun for so long, I would have started to give up hope.

What are people's best B2B growth tips?

Had an hour, so quickly built a basic MCP server for @scrapezy to help me understand the protocol better

Thoughts:
- most will be a super thin wrapper around OpenAPI specs.
- remote MCP servers (coming soon) will make usage easier.
- kinda solves the interfacing tools problem for all agents.

Got a bit lazy generating the images for my next product hunt launch.

So, click one shot prompt with Claude and got something that will generate the images for me. Just need to make a few variations to cover the other images.

Houston - we have liftoff!
February 20, 2025 at 8:31 PM
MCP is pretty dope. I've been playing with the basic example (Sequential Thinking) and it's helped get a bigger feature done.

I normally break features down into really small nuggets to get Cursor Composer to work it's magic.

What are your favourite tools to add to cursor / windsurf / cline?
February 18, 2025 at 5:03 PM
I'm not saying they're wrong, it is pretty great. Feels a lot like this around here though
February 17, 2025 at 10:02 AM
One of my favourite uses for v0 is prototyping new components.

Here's a (sped up) version of the new schema editor for Scrapezy

in a can't be bothered with all the nextjs whining today.

YOLO

Been on a side quest lately. Got bored of trying to check whether the new KeepNotes has any glaring issues..... so I'm automating control of a browser, from errr In the browser
