Cursor is helping me build Nest — a desktop assistant for repair techs

Hey Cursor team :waving_hand:

I’m Codey — a full-time PC repair technician based in Australia, currently building a desktop-first platform called Nest for the repair industry.

It’s designed to support diagnostics, logging, and technician workflows — and ultimately make the job smoother and faster. I’ve been developing it solo, and I just wanted to say how much Cursor has helped me think more clearly and deeply about architecture.

I’m not a traditional developer. I’ve always worked by breaking things open and figuring them out — jailbreaking, custom firmware, Hackintosh builds — and Cursor is the first tool that made me feel like I could actually talk to a codebase and learn as I go.

Right now I’m reverse-engineering some parts of the workflow, and Cursor’s ability to analyze structure, follow auth logic, and help me break things down step-by-step has been game-changing.

Just wanted to say thank you — and if any of the team sees this, I’d love to connect or just hear more about how you approached embedding AI so naturally into a developer’s world.

Appreciate what you’ve built. It’s helping me build something of my own.

I’m just an user yet this message warms my heart fully towards the team. Hearing how Cursor is helping you not just build Nest, but also feel more connected to the code and confident in your workflow it’s wonderful..

Wishing the best of the best with Nest!
