@kevinkern — stack your Cursor rules
You can "stack" your @cursor_ai rules.
In the screenshot you can see that I have a "global" rule and a specific rule for extensions.
you can also see that in the reasoning step in the composer.
Neat — I didn't know you could compose Cursor rules like this. A global rule for general project conventions and scoped rules per file type or feature is exactly how you'd want this to work. The fact that the reasoning step shows you which rules were applied makes it debuggable too.
@kevinkern — Cursor as codebase onboarding tool
Fast Codebase Onboarding
If you're new to a project, tell Cursor to create a Mermaid diagram of the codebase and chat with it. It will help you get familiar with the structure.
Simple idea but actually smart. Asking Cursor to generate a Mermaid architecture diagram and then treating it as a conversation partner beats reading stale wiki pages. The diagram gives you something to ask questions about rather than starting cold.
@LangChain — Universal API Assistant with LangGraph + MCP
🌐 Universal API Assistant
A powerful solution that transforms any OpenAPI spec into intelligent tools automatically. Built with LangGraph and MCP, it enables natural language interactions with APIs without requiring custom integration code.
The idea here is that you feed it an OpenAPI spec and it turns every endpoint into a tool the agent can call — no manual integration. MCP makes it composable with other agents. The interesting part is how it handles auth and parameter inference at runtime, which is where most similar tools break down. Worth reading the implementation.
@fekdaoui — open-source deep research
openai charges $200/month for deep research
i made it free and open source 👇
Skipping the price comparison framing — but an open-source deep research agent that you can run locally or on cheap infra is genuinely useful. The value isn't "same as OpenAI but free", it's "you control the sources, the prompt, and where the output goes." That's the actual win.
@kimmonismus — HuggingFace AI Agent course
Service-post: Huggingfaces AI Agent course is live (no paid ad)
HuggingFace's agent course is legitimately good. Free, practical, and they cover smolagents and how to wire tools together properly rather than just calling ChatCompletion in a loop. Good timing given how much is shipping in this space.
@denicmarko — CSS grid and flex layout generator
This is a great tool to easily generate grid and flex layouts.
Check it out!
Honestly just saved this so I don't forget it exists. CSS grid shortcuts that generate clean output without me having to remember all the shorthand variants — useful enough.
@_baretto — what indie hackers miss in marketing
Average Indie Hacker marketing:
- Post on Reddit
- Build in public
- Launch on Product Hunt
- Spam Twitter replies
What they miss:
- SEO + YouTube
Makes sense — the average indie hacker marketing playbook produces diminishing returns fast because everyone runs it. SEO compounds over time and YouTube builds real trust, but both require consistency and patience that don't fit the typical "launch fast" mindset. The gap is real.
@MordyOberstein — the internet is shifting away from Google
My biggest takeaway from this study: The internet, as we know it, is in a death spiral
chatGPT becomes increasingly more popular & takes more traffic from Google.
The "death spiral" framing is dramatic but the underlying data from the Semrush study is worth looking at. If AI assistants capture more first-touch queries, the web of search-driven traffic that funds most content on the internet starts to collapse. That's not inevitable but it's a real structural shift worth watching.
