Pets for Cursor
I created an extension which adds a custom pet to your editor (Cursor/ VS Code/ Windsurf compatible). https://github.com/blairjordan/codachi As you type, your pet hatches, acquires XP and evolves. A playing card is generated when your pet evolves. All pixel art is original and hand/ mouse drawn.

In plain words
Pets for Cursor is an editor extension for Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf that displays a virtual pet in the interface. As users type, the pet hatches, gains experience points, and evolves through different stages. Each evolution generates a unique playing card featuring the pet's pixel art, which is entirely hand-drawn. The extension adds a gamified element to the coding experience while developers work.

CursorBirdNov 2025 · github.com · ▲11Hi HN! Creator of CursorBird here. I've recently built and published a fun side project I think you might enjoy: It's a simple Cursor extension that lets you play a flappy bird clone while the agents are running. It uses Cursor's hook system to detect agent activity: the game automatically opens when an agent starts working and closes when all agents finish. Press Tab to flap. 100% open source. Repo: https://github.com/i-am-noamg/cursorbird Install: https://open-vsx.org/extension/cursorbird/cursor-bird or from Cursor's extensions search It started…
cursor partyMay 2026 · cursorparty.vercel.app · ▲79Hi HN, I challenged myself to build a multiplayer game in just 1 hour. My goal was to experience the distributed processing capabilities of Elixir and Phoenix LiveView firsthand by creating a simple web app. It allows everyone to see each other's cursors in real-time and fight a boss together. This is currently a beta version, and I plan to ship new features every week. It's deployed on Koyeb. I'd love to hear your feedback on the performance!

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
