This weekend, I realized I was stuck on hosting tasks for a project—again. The pain was real, and I needed to shift my focus to make some progress. So, instead of spinning my wheels, I decided to work on and finish some side project tasks that I had been putting off.

I tried out a new IDE called Cursor, and it’s honestly mind-blowing. It has this composer feature that goes beyond anything I’ve used before: you can prompt it for multi-code editing, and it will update code based on your requests and predictions. The predictive capabilities are almost eerie.

With Cursor’s help, I decided to migrate an old side project from Gatsby to Next.js 14. After the rewrite, I found myself excited about the project again. I re-released it and plan to keep iterating on a few more ideas for it before returning to my other major project.

So, in a nutshell, my weekend was all about:

• Overcoming my hosting struggles.
• Exploring a new IDE—Cursor.
• Revamping a project from Gatsby to Next.js 14.
• Getting a fresh burst of motivation and re-releasing the project.

I’m looking forward to diving back into hosting tasks soon. For now, though, it feels great to have moved the needle on something I’d been procrastinating.
