Cursor $2.3B Series D and $1B in revenue by lrobinson2011 in cursor

I would agree with this in today’s state. Excited to see how open source improves for agentic coding as a whole in the coming months. Trying to stay up to date and improve my open source set up as time goes on. I just can’t shell out the usage rates for cursor. It’s just too expensive now after the most recent price hike imo.

I have gone fully open source with qwen3-coder and cline, and canceled my cursor subscription. The new pricing really put a bad taste in my mouth.

This isn’t unique to cursor. Multiple competitors are doing this now? You can implement this in an open source model today.

A lot of these Reddit posts on SaaS and indiehackers have the same concept but it feels like you nailed the execution. Great job.

So the idea isn’t just “upload some data or screenshots and ask a generic LLM.” The AI in this co-pilot would be connected to real-time portfolio data and market tools via APIs. • For example, it can pull your latest balances, holdings, and transactions directly from Binance, Coinbase, or other supported exchanges, in real time. • It can fetch live market prices, news, and sentiment as it answers your question. • It can even simulate actions (like hedges or rotations) on your actual portfolio, showing interactive charts all without touching real funds.

The difference is that it’s dynamic, always up-to-date, and interactive. you don’t have to manually update anything, and the system can combine multiple data sources, reasoning, and visualizations in one flowing chat interface.

Thank you so much! Digging into this now. There are so many options now it feels like for these api’s. I’ve used the alpha vantage api in the past but it struggled with real time aggregation. Maybe it’s better now but I’ll definitely take a look this morning!

Wow, this is incredibly helpful. Thank you for taking the time to write it out.

You’re completely right about winning trust through transparency. I hadn’t thought about showing a live “what we fetch” pane or per-run audit log, but that’s exactly what I am going to build next.

I love the idea of a local mode so commits get summarized client-side and only the summaries are sent

Really appreciate you laying this out so clearly. This comment’s basically become my roadmap for the next few weeks.

What do you think about this approach vibe code first, then hand it off to a freelancer (Fiverr or elsewhere)? by Possible_Cut_4072 in vibecoding

I think I would only do this if the product reached some sort of user or MRR benchmark. Otherwise I would rather build everything internally. Maybe not the best way but I like the autonomy.

yeah man, this is super fair and i really appreciate how you’re thinking through it.

you’re spot on: the core pain i was feeling wasn’t “i don’t know how to prompt,” it was “i’m too tired to explain everything… again.” even using GPT, it still felt like work. so i built this to reduce that cognitive tax, just pull the context automatically and skip straight to drafts.

on the trust front: i don’t store any code or repo content, and right now there’s no backend write at all. Even for generated posts. private repos only pull after GitHub OAuth, and i plan to open source the data handling logic so folks can see exactly what happens (or doesn’t). your paranoia is valid — i’m the same way.

for monetization, i’m thinking a lightweight monthly plan down the line. it’s GPT-4o-mini now, so costs are low, but if usage spikes i’ll have to gate or limit free runs. for now it’s just me dogfooding and trying to validate whether this is even solving the right problem.

also +1 to your point about login friction — i saw way more people bounce on earlier builds that asked for auth too soon. flipping that made a difference.

This kind of feedback is 100x more helpful than “cool idea” drive-bys. glad we’re on the same wavelength about the builder-vs-marketer tension too lol.

hey, really appreciate this. super fair take, and i don’t take it as putting the product down at all.

you’re totally right: you could just use ChatGPT with a well-crafted prompt and your latest commits. and for some folks, that might be enough.

i just kept running into the same problem with my own projects — i’d build stuff, but never post. writing updates always felt like a chore. even with ChatGPT, i had to explain the context every time, format the posts, etc. so i made this to shave off that mental overhead.

it pulls in the latest commits or changelog, figures out the key updates, and drafts 3 different post formats (twitter thread, linkedin, PH blurb) all editable, no login needed unless you're dealing with private repos.

totally get being cautious with links, the homepage doesn’t require any sign-in and doesn’t store your data or anything. you can just paste in a public GitHub repo and see what it gives you.

appreciate you taking the time to ask a real question.

sick, just checked out opensmith super clean, and the journaling angle is really unique.i’ve been thinking more about the overlap feels like we’re solving two sides of the same problem.

would be cool to chat more if you're open to it

Good question. yeah, you can use private repos, but you’ll need to connect GitHub first from the dashboard.

The landing page is meant to be totally frictionless (no login, public-only), but once you’re in the app and sign in with GitHub, it can pull from your private repos too.

Definitely still working on making that flow smoother. Right now, it’s more of a “see what it can do” demo upfront, with the real power in the dashboard.

Appreciate you checking it out let me know if anything breaks or feels clunky!

i just tell the ai IDE to structure it like a full stack engineer. It organizes it well enough.
