I built a Cursor extension that lets developers code directly from their browser. Instead of switching between windows to find files, you just point at any web element and start coding. It’s that simple.
here is the extension: Frontend Context - Pick elements and chat with AI - Visual Studio Marketplace
But here’s the problem: Cursor won’t give developers access to their APIs or commands. This makes building useful extensions really hard and unstable.
Cursor is missing a huge opportunity. Your user is engineer, we always want to improve things, let’s us build what we want, and you just get the money.
- GitHub Actions won because it was open
- Obsidian got powerful through plugins
- VSCode beat better editors by being extensible
The pattern is clear: extensible platforms win.
Right now, Cursor is limiting itself. when you open the API for us, we will stop complainning and start to build for you. Let make it become your selling point. Look, React popular just be cause it is popular, not because it is good.
