The Latest

Five of the most interesting recent dev tool launches on the site. 

CopilotKit is an open-source framework (12k+ GitHub stars) for building AI Copilots & AI Agents into React apps. It basically gives every React developer the ability to be an AI developer by letting them add AI agents to their apps in no time.

Dokploy Cloud is an alternative to the likes of Heroku, Netlify, and Vercel. It helps to simplify your deployments with things like Docker Compose, multi-server scaling, and more. It’s focused on being as developer-friendly as possible. 

Quorini offers a set of visual tools for designing data models and runs a fully-managed serverless backend. It’s built to accelerate time-to-market while minimizing resources and without compromising quality. 

Cerebrium is a serverless AI infrastructure platform that makes it easy to build, deploy, and scale AI applications. Pick from over 12 varieties of GPUs, run large-scale batch jobs, run real-time voice applications, and more.

LogRapid is a simple error-tracking tool that helps developers catch and fix issues before users report them. It was even built by a developer who was tired of finding out about errors from users. Talk about solving your own problems.

Cursor’s making some big moves

Monday, Cursor co-founder Michael Truell announced the company had acquired Supermaven, the ultra-fast, context-aware code completion tool. The acquisition is a boon for Cursor — with Supermaven’s 300,000-token context window now under its hood, it poses a credible threat to GitHub CoPilot and other industry-leading AI coding tools. Per Truell, Supermaven’s plugin will remain active, but improving the Cursor editor will be the company’s core focus going forward.

The acquisition marks another milestone in Cursor’s meteoric rise since the founding of its parent company, Anysphere, in 2022. Anysphere is now reportedly valued at close to $2.5 billion — up over 500% from its $400 million valuation back in August, when it raised a $60 million Series A.

“We will merge the intelligence of our custom Tab model with the speed and codebase understanding of Supermaven.” — Cursor’s team.

Questions that remain:  Will Cursor's integration of Supermaven's huge context window compromise latency? And is it going to keep expanding — are more acquisitions on the horizon?

Bonus

Workflows can always be better, here’s a pro-tips crowdsourced from the dev community:

Sticking with Cursor — at the end of each feature build, ask Cursor to give you the full technical flow of what was implemented.

Start maintaining technical docs from the beginning. It gives you a clear roadmap of how things work and helps Cursor make smarter decisions down the line. h/t to Prajwal Tomar for this tip.
