Hey y’all!
I’m part of the Qwik core team. Most of us on the team use Cursor as our primary IDE, along with many folks in our community. We’d love to have Qwik included as a default documentation source in Cursor.
Currently, we have to re-index the docs every time we switch devices or environments. Having Qwik pre-indexed would be a great quality-of-life improvement for our team and community members who are already active Cursor users.
Let me know if you need any additional information or if there’s anything we can help with to make this happen.
Thanks!

Hey!
Thanks for reaching out! We cache indexed documents on our backend, so that we don’t end up with loads of duplicated indexes, so hypothetically, you should always have the latest version in your queries!
When someone adds the doc to Cursor, it will prompt us to index the doc again, just to ensure there is nothing new.
Whenever you do a prompt, the query always uses the latest version of the doc stored on our backend. The client may not always show the latest list of pages, as we don’t routinely update that from the server, but whenever you @ the docs, the latest version on the server is used, which for popular docs is almost always up to date.
Is there something about this that isn’t optimal for your team and your users?

Appreciate the explanation Dan!
Glad to hear that it does index again each time, was worried that it might be out of sync, as in the past (roughly a couple of months ago) I’ve gotten previous content output that was removed from our documentation.
A potential QOL improvement would be having it pre-indexed or already in the UI for those using the framework, similar to how Solid JS when that is searched in cursor
I’m curious about how the suggestion system works. I’ve noticed that while some popular tools are included in the UI suggestions as official, others aren’t.
For instance, Partytown (one of our maintained projects) isn’t listed, despite having comparable or more usage statistics to some of the tools that do appear in the suggestions.

We have a set of popular frameworks that we press to everyone’s IDE, and you can always add your own and share them with your team, if you on a business plan.
However, I do like the idea of the docs being detected, and maybe even auto-suggested as context for your prompts - will pass to the team!
