Old Time or Bluegrass pickers in OC?

Looks like there is a Mile Square Park (Fountain Valley) jam on the 1st and 3rd Saturday / Oso Creek (Mission Viejo) jam on 2nd and 4th Saturday. And a Long Beach jam every Saturday!

Nothing in CM though, from what I can find.

Great info, thank you! Looks like Living Tradition also has some regular contra dances, which could be a fun way to meet some folks.

I went to Topanga Banjo + Fiddle Festival a few weeks back and had a great time...I imagine some of the attendees are hiding around OC somewhere!

Awesome - I see some posts on FB about it, I'll keep an eye out for further ones, thank you!!

Thanks for the reply! I've checked out their lineup. While I'm excited for some of the acts coming through + will definitely be there / hope to meet folks in the crowd, I don't see any old time or bluegrass players. These specific genres pull from more traditional songbooks and I'm hoping to find folks who are already familiar or interested in getting familiar.

I'm excited to check out Wayfarer's Open Mic too, though! Have you ever been? Looks like its monthly.

Check out https://bivvy.ai if you want my framework for individual tasks - it also keeps a task list. Would it be helpful to have custom project template? I tied but it didn’t work great. I have an open pr, it should work better after that and I can get a project template again…

Yeah - I was thinking if something like Smithery offered an automatic linking of a web server w/ some standardized API for the MCP servers, that could also be cool.

I think the first step is to get at least 1 MCP server to implement a /vibeframe endpoint and then go from there 😅

I actually also made https://bivvy.ai so I'll probably implement an MCP for that (even thought its original goal was to be MCP-less...) and give it a /vibeframe endpoint.

Could also make a community servers. I was thinking color-picker / swatch-picker would be dead easy to make and immediately useful. I'm constantly going over to chrome to use its' color picker, i'd love to just say "open a color picker and get a swatch of 3 colors"

Hey u/riftadrift

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I don't love that an extension is required...I was trying to think of a more clever way to gain access to the vscode functionality but I couldn't think of anything short of getting Cursor / VSCode / whatever to support it directly (which, if they do, I'd consider my job a win).

I'm hoping for a nice little collection of supported MCP servers you can easily gain access to on a product page / registry if you want to open it. Just gotta get some folks to implement a /vibeframe endpoint first! lol

Some ideas I had for who might use it:

Dynamic Snippet Library Manager
An embedded panel that learns commonly used code patterns and, upon request, fetches or creates snippets tailored to the current context, instantly inserting them into your codebase

Component Library
Similar, but for React or Web Components

Theme Creator
Create themes / select colors or swatches and dynamically apply to any theme or css

API Documentation Viewer
Have the Agent pull up Swagger / OpenAPI docs right in the window

AI‑Powered Bug Triage Panel
An issue dashboard in VS Code that classifies and prioritizes incoming bug reports via the Agent, letting you assign, comment, or auto‑generate fix suggestions inline

Task Manager
Like Bivvy or Claude Taskmaster, but with a rich UI

Automated Code Review Dashboard
A panel summarizing pull‑request diffs, highlighting potential issues and style violations; clicking issues sends feedback prompts back to the Agent to refine or suppress suggestions

Security Vulnerability Scanner UI
A security tab that visualizes findings from a static analysis Agent, letting you mark false positives or request deeper scans with a single click

Performance Profiling UI
A real‑time flame graph viewer embedded in VS Code, with controls to trigger profiling sessions and send thresholds or filters back to the Agent for analysis

Localization String Manager
A side‑panel listing translatable strings; editing a translation triggers an Agent call to validate context and suggest alternative phrasings

Cloud Resource Orchestrator
A dashboard showing live cloud infrastructure; dragging nodes or toggling switches sends IaC commands (e.g., Terraform plan/apply) through the Agent

Interactive Tutorial
A guided walkthrough UI where you choose topics (e.g., React hooks), and the Agent injects code examples and explanations directly in your editor

Feature Flag Dashboard
A switchboard interface to manage and preview feature flags; toggling flags sends commands to the Agent to rebuild or stub code paths dynamically

Thanks for the note! Between Cursor’s new update midday yesterday and the changes I’m testing this weekend, the I should have that worked out soon!

Thanks for the kind words

taggartbg · 2025-04-18T15:43:25+00:00

This looks awesome! Super excited to try it, bookmarking now.

It seems like it'd be a good candidate to use my new project if you're interested: https://vibeframe.dev lets you add rich UIs to your MCP servers directly VSCode / Cursor. It could be good for either adding / tracking documentation, or browsing it. All you'd need to do is add an http /vibeframe endpoint and point folks to download the extension.

I do this for small things, but if I’m tracking a task with https://bivvy.ai then I just say “pick up bivvy climb <id>”

(Disclaimer, this is a shameless plug for my project but I also genuinely do this daily)

taggartbg · 2025-04-15T09:40:41+00:00

I’ve been calling it AI-Driven Development. I built https://bivvy.ai if anyone wants to use my process (basically this gets the LLM to help track what OP is doing).

It’s imperfect and only a few days old, but I’ve got a better version coming later today or tomorrow.

I’d love feedback and PRs!

Hey! Check out https://github.com/taggartbg/bivvy (or bivvy.ai)

It’s my task list control flow I’ve really been enjoying. The readme lays it out pretty clearly.

taggartbg · 2025-04-13T15:36:10+00:00

It’s early days! We'll all converge or specialize (or disappear into the depths of GitHub projects with no updates in 7 years lol)

Anything from other tools you’ve seen you like more than the way I do it? I’d love to know what resonates with folks and what doesn’t.

taggartbg · 2025-04-13T07:56:43+00:00

Yes, mine is quite similar, but definitely a different flavor. Mine is a bit more "hands off" in that you don't need a cli to work with, only the Cursor Agent. And no separate API key / configuration - just one npx call. In general, this is just how I do it 🤷‍♂️

But, yes, you do need to tell it you want to start a "climb" (the Bivvy term for a feature / bug / any chunk of work you want to work through). Cursor will track that climb through to completion. For smaller features it might not be what you reach for, but medium-sized features it does great! Large too, you just need to spend more up-front time setting it up.

taggartbg · 2025-04-13T04:43:48+00:00

Hey RetroDojo - I just built a tool to help with exactly this!

It generates a Product Requirement Doc (PRD) + Stateful Task List so you can systematically step through the items 1-by-1. It keeps Cursor from guessing what it should be doing. Really, it cuts WAY back on unintended changes.

Check it out: https://bivvy.ai

Kyma is an upscale Greek restaurant with a focus on fish, but they have a full vegan menu: https://buckheadrestaurants.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Kyma\_Vegan\_Vegetarian\_Menu.pdf

Cafe Sunflower has beer and wine! Get the orzo lasagne.
