HTML export feature & exporting your Cursor chats remains useful

Hi there,
I wanted to make a good use of this cool forum feature that PH started providing for products, so let's start by sharing the last feature I've added to the extension, and some insights :)
HTML Export format available
Therefore, I wanted the 140+ people that have been welcoming the Cursor Convo Export extension to know that you can save your exports not only in Markdown (.md) format, but also as HTML.
To keep things simple, I made the HTML export available as a separate command (so you don't have to choose each time you want to export your chat):

I still use the export functionality every day, to keep documentation of interesting parts (removing whats irrelevant) or to keep save the context of what was used to create (parts of) products I'm working on.
Together with cursorrules and a Project Requirements Document (PRD) I've found that the Convo Export extension makes a good tool in my toolbox to save time and keep persistent and fail-safe coding on larger projects.
Exporting chats is still very useful
Even with the late features provided by Cursor AI - like being able to refer to other chats - it is useful to store your chats outside of the chat database that Cursor AI uses.
Too often I've been working on a large feature, only to learn an update or a crash or whatever made my chat disappear.
Keeping solid exports of a chat around, right after you "round up a smaller part working" and push the code to your feature/dev branch, makes a good practice to be able to see how things came about, and help the agent to get context when you want to use the same background info to add extra features etc.

How niche is too niche?

In bootstrap territory, nearby maker city and indiehackers pond, it is often told that if you want to create a succesful micro SaaS solution, you need to find a niche. I've found a niche when creating a tool that saves me - and others - much time , with my upcoming SaaS called Linq Me Up (www.linqmeup.com). It helps .Net developers to convert SQL queries into C# LINQ code using AI. There are only a few alternatives, using syntax based or rule based conversion, which aren't nearly as good in generating good LINQ as to what AI can do, but this also solves a very niche problem. Subscriber feedback gave me the insights that this is something .Net developers will probable use on a monthly basis, to save them a lot of time while migrating projects. What do you think? Could this be one of those tools that have a slow start but that gains users over time? And what is most important now (pre release)? Reaching out to communities of .Net developers that might run into this? I'd love to hear your take on this.
