       Show HN: Cursor Directory - From a 3-hour build to a 250k users/mo
       community
        
       Viktor and I built the first version of Cursor Directory in just 3
       hours, right after I watched a few downloaded YouTube videos on my
       flight to France. The idea was simple: create a single place to
       find curated rules to enhance the Cursor experience.  Fast forward
       a few months, and the site kept growing. We recently added support
       for MCPs, a Trending board, the ability to generate your own rules
       from dependencies, and more!  We'd love to hear your thoughts--let
       us know if you have any ideas to make Cursor Directory even better!
       Oh, and we're fully open source!

       | this far this quickly. Will be diving into the code, kudos on
       | making it OS!

       | Would love to see a blog and maybe some documentation as to how
       | to create MCPs

       | the examples.

         | You can copy one of the rules or just use the download button
