... Claude Code handles the "thinking" work - architectural decisions, complex implementations. Cursor handles the "typing" work - completing patterns, fixing syntax. Comment from Daniel Bernasconi(@daniel_bernasconi): @chrismessina  have you tried Claude Code? Do you think Warp is a valid alternative? I know they are a bit different, but with the weekly limits and all coming to CC, I better prepare and incorporate new tech "under my belt"..

... Been checking out Cursor, an AI code editor that deeply integrates AI into your workflow. Think natural language coding, smart predictions, and asking your codebase questions. It's trying to push AI further than, say, VS Code (even with Copilot). I'm curious: How has Cursor's AI experience been for you compared to your current setup? Does a dedicated AI-first editor like this feel like a significant leap? Let's discuss! Comment from Abe Qarm(@abe_qarm ...

... hearing everyone's thoughts! Comment from Syed Ahmed(@syedahmedz): I recently stopped paying for cursor and moved fully to Claude Code. It is a step up in pricing but the output is usually more accurate and requires fewer iterations vs what I'd have to do in Cursor with the same prompt. I also have some really interesting data from our own user base on Cursor code quality with Claude vs

... recently spent a month vibe-coding a web app that turns any recipe into a detailed nutrition label. My entire workflow was a loop of prompting Gemini, pasting the code into VS Code, fixing what broke, and repeating that x1000 times. I know about tools like Cursor & Replit, but I stuck with this manual setup since I'm more comfortable with it. No idea if it s the right way, but I just ran with it and got this ...

Mention device behavior. If it should behave differently on mobile vs desktop, say so. Ex: "stacks on mobile, grid on desktop". Use visual vocabulary.

... everyone! Just wanted to share a quick update on my side project, Buildform.ai - a modern form builder we built as an alternative to Typeform, focused on conversion-first forms, smart logic, and AI-powered workflows. We did it the wrong way. Instead of launching early and iterating, I spent months obsessing over getting everything right bug-free, fast, production-ready. Honestly, I was shit scared it might flop. But turns out, people really appreciate a forms app they can rely ...

Remember to ask it to track key events across your application.

... into this community's experience on price-setting for B2C software (ours helps job seekers). The long story short is we ve been leaning towards entering a fairly established market at significantly lower pricing (like ~4-5x) than competitors. The thesis is this will help us A) attract users in general, and B) drive better unit economics by focusing more on capturing paid users and not focusing (much?) on total user acquisition (paid + free). Here are my primary ... ... cheapen product perception before users even give it a chance. How have you decided how much to give away for free if you do run free accounts ?

... your points. Lovable shines in design and UX, while Bolt offers more flexibility on the technical side. But one ongoing challenge with both is balancing speed with full control over the final code. If someone is looking for an alternative that provides more control over the codebase without sacrificing speed, it s also worth checking out co.dev . It natively supports Next.js + Prisma , generating code you can actually reuse instead of being fully locked into the tool s ecosystem. Curious ...

... editor journey has been: 1. Tried out Github copilot in VS Code. Loved it. 2. Then tried out @Cursor after @bernatfortet kept talking about it. Immediately switch to Cursor. 3. Then tried out @Windsurf after @lagap discovered it. Immediately fell in love and switched. Anecdotally, everyone is talking about Cursor. And no one is really talking about Windsurf. On Product Hunt, Cursor has 845 Shoutouts. Windsurf has two? In my experience, Windsurf is the leader at the moment with ... ... weeks) didn't try Windsurf while on Cursor.
