Every webpage deserves to be a place! It’s open source — and do check out the cursor chat too (Quiet Mode kicks in with >10 concurrent visitors.) https://interconnected.org/home/2024/09/05/cursor-party

yeah this is definitely over the edge -- signal is lost in the noise my main enjoyment has been to hang out on my own blog (which it generally pretty quiet) and say hi to people as they drop by. I've had a few pleasant interactions tha

(blog post author here) I added Quiet Mode because of the feedback last time one of my posts hit HN, it was chaos haha (btw you can hit / to enter cursor chat, it's fun if a bit distracting)

My assumption is that models are getting cheaper, fast. So you can build now with OpenAI/Anthropic/etc and swap it out for a local or hosted model in a year. This doesn't work for all use cases but data extraction is pretty s

my absolute top tip would be to find your super low-friction way to capture ideas about what to write, wherever you are, the very second the idea occurs to you idea capture is upstream of everything else. you can do drafting or editing a mo
