I use .md files to keep Cursor on track, the flow I use is something like...

Define a feature in detail (using trascription) -> Get o3 or Gemini 2.5 pro to break it down into very small testable tasks. -> review this -> then paste into a tasks.md file -> write and architecture.md file or similar for any additional context needed. -> then prompt Cursor to work through tasks.md step by step.

This keeps it on track, with the whole feature defined from the outset.

But eventually... it will try to ignore the dockerfile and setup up locally, create multiple .env files, write code with placeholders, ignore a files it's just created and written...

It's impossible to get it back on track - it gets into a debug loop of making things worse rather than getting back on track.

I've tested it for: 1. portfolio analysis 1. scrape portfolio 2. analyse it with ffn 2. make a meal plan, add all items to shopping basket from local supermarket within budget

One of the most revolutionary AI releases, what's are you using "computer use" for?

I'm looking at the simplest way to monetise various API's I have. Without building from scratch things that are common across paid API's. Like whitelisting IP's, rate limiting, usage monitoring, different ways of charging/pricing models and enforcement.

For example I have a Factsheet API for Mutual Funds and ETF's, we have the most extensive repo of available factsheets. I'm unsure if Financial Institutions will switch, so simply want a framework, where by I can easily try and monetise it.

Any ideas :)

Maybe in the general sense there’s a use that a large percentage of people have.

An area of knowledge retrieval or proof reading etc.

Would be interesting if there are any over powering use cases.

I'll start...

Prospecting - Personal network - LinkedIn - Dealroom (bookface post YC )

Deck sharing (1 x short deck, 1 x long deck) - Docsend

Emails - SuperHuman (with email tracking) - Lemlist

Tracking - Google Sheets

Due Diligence Docs - Google Drvie

Ace, thanks for this!

This is a great setup, and still sub 6 month payback. For comparison I have 2.5GB or less on my Heroku servers!

IP address management is definitely food for thought.

I might to a dry run with a PC and test, before investing in the full setup

NUC's look interesting, thanks for this!

Yeh, bandwidth should be more than sufficient.

Agreed, looking at bleeding edge SDD's, seems a simple way to have a blazing fast DB. Even a 12 month payback works. We're feature complete so I could keep the setup without upgrades for some time
