    Shuffle▲260

    Hi! We noticed that our users extensively use Shuffle (a visual editor for developers) in conjunction with Cursor. That's why we built the Shuffle CLI, a lightweight tool that creates a seamless bridge between Shuffle and Cursor. With this CLI, you can: * Sync your visual components from Shuffle directly into Cursor projects * Automatically generate clean, editable code from your designs * Keep your design and dev workflows tightly integrated without copy-pasting or re-exporting We built this to reduce the friction between prototyping and production. If you're using Cursor as your IDE and…

    Cursor for Userscripts▲56

    I’ve been experimenting with embedding an Claude Code/Cursor-style coding agent directly into the browser. At a high level, the agent generates and maintains userscripts and CSS that are re-applied on page load. Rather than just editing DOM via JS in console the agent is treating the page, and the DOM as a file. The models are often trained in RL sandboxes with full access to the filesystem and bash, so they are really good at using it. So to make the agent behave well, I've simulated this environment. The whole state of a page and scripts is implemented as a virtual filesystem hacked…
