Products that do what Spectre – Cursor for Google Docs does
Hi HN! I'm Seth from Spectre, the world's first Cursor for Google Docs. Everyone's building a Cursor for writing, but no one is integrating into existing platforms that have billions of monthly active users such as Google Docs and Microsoft Word. We currently have two features - an autocomplete that's similar to Cursor's 'tab' system and a diff editor activated with Ctrl + Shift + K over a selected piece of text. You can check out a demo on our website and download the extension from there. Not many people are building this deeply in extensions from what we have seen so we are super stoked…

While Cursor is picking off and a lot of developers trying it out. I believe that a vast amount of beginners still struggle with a lot of basics and how to use the app. So I have compiled a few demos from the docs, and X tweets, and recorded a few myself so beginners can see how the cursor works. The website is open source, and my first time contributing, so if there are any mistakes or improvements to be made please let me know! thanks :)

Hey HN community! Over the past year, AI copilots like Cursor and Windsurf have fueled a dramatic shift in software engineering workflows. And yet, many technical users in adjacent fields like data science and analytics have been unable to reap the rewards of this revolution. It turns out that the existing tools are a poor match for analytical workloads. Beyond that Cursor and similar tools have very poor support for Jupyter notebooks, data science is a fundamentally different discipline from software engineering and we believe it requires a correspondingly different tool. We're excited to…
