Hi Cursor team and community,
I’m a 59-year-old solo operator in Japan. I wanted to share an unusual way I use Cursor — not just to ship code, but to run a live community product together with an AI partner (“Mame / 豆”).
Product: https://rakuda.coffee/ (らくだ珈琲 / “Rakuda Coffee”)
A quiet web playground for children: word-finding games, cooperative “find one word” rooms, a bulletin board, and more. It pairs with YouTube Live — viewers watch the stream, then play together on the site.
Why this might be interesting to Cursor:
-
Livestream → product loop
I use YouTube Live to discover real user needs. Kids and families tell me what they want in chat or on the board. I ask Cursor Agent to implement small, focused changes — often the same day — then deploy to production (Firebase Hosting + Firestore rules). -
Recent example (user voice → shipped)
Users asked for hosts to toggle hints ON/OFF during a cooperative word game, not only at room creation. We added it; a player posted on the board the same week thanking us — they could switch hints on when the room got stuck. -
Ops the agent handles (not just coding)
- Cursor rules files for deploy verification, metrics logging, scope control
- Build → verify dist → firebase deploy without pushing incomplete work
- Internal docs for TikTok/YouTube/GA metrics so context survives across chats
- Child-safe constraints (no hard sell in chat, quiet monetization paths)
-
Scale / traction (rough, June 2026)
- Site: ~959 active users / 28 days (GA4), ~27 min avg engagement
- After evening streams: multiple user-hosted game rooms within minutes on the bulletin board; real-time analytics often 30–40 users / 30 min post-stream
- YouTube cooperative streams drive site participation, not only views
-
What’s different from typical “vibe coding”
This isn’t a weekend MVP. It’s ongoing care for a child-facing community: moderation, load spikes after streams, Firestore rules, and listening to users in public. Cursor Agent acts as a long-term engineering partner.
I’m not asking for anything special — I just wanted your team to know this usage pattern exists.
If anyone wants to try the site, the link is at the top. Happy to answer questions about workflow.
Thank you for building Cursor.
