These are some nice tools. I like Copycat. :)
Though the Faker.js reminder makes me sad. 😢

Thanks for reading Saurabh 🔥

I thought faker.js was still functional (never went to github repo), but I just searched after reading your comment... I didn't even realized it.

Yeah, I mean that's the sad reality of open source. Do you know @anmolbaranwal and @debojyotichatterjee9 about this story?

Will read the full story about Fakerjs...

Yes, I know about PearAI and it's not something new.

You will often see similar startups in different YCombinator batches (as per my observation). Each has its own value proposition, but cloning a startup (due to the wide popularity of Cursor) just made things worse imo.

Developers who keep up with tech might know most of these, but I'm confident everyone will find at least a couple of new ones.

For example, seed and copycat are not very popular but are super useful when working on the backend.

Thanks for reading Rohan :)

Thanks for reading Akshay. I also switched from VSCode to Cursor a couple of months ago. It's very useful :)
