The hub for Boston's AI-powered development community.
Built by builders, for builders, using Cursor.
Cursor Boston is a community-led platform designed to bring together the most ambitious developers, students, and founders in the Boston area. We focus on AI-native development workflows—leveraging tools like Cursor to ship production code at the speed of thought.
- 🎓 Students: MIT, Harvard, Hult, BU, Northeastern, and beyond.
- 🚀 Founders: Prototype MVPs in hours and validate ideas fast.
- 💻 Developers: Master the art of AI-assisted full-stack development.
- 🎨 Designers & PMs: Bridge the gap between design and production code.
This platform is a living example of what you can build with Cursor and modern web tech:
- Frontend: Next.js 14 (App Router), Tailwind CSS, TypeScript
- Backend: Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Storage)
- Integrations: Discord/GitHub OAuth, Luma API, Framer Motion
Want to add a major feature to the platform? We have 6 open feature projects ready for contributors to claim and build:
| # | Feature | Issue |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Prompt & Rules Cookbook — share and discover Cursor workflows | #78 |
| 2 | Achievement Badge System — gamified milestones for community activity | #79 |
| 3 | AI Pair Programming Matchmaker — find your coding partner | #80 |
| 4 | Public Community Analytics Dashboard — visualize community growth | #81 |
| 5 | Interactive Community Event Map — Boston venues on a live map | #82 |
| 6 | Lightning Talk Timer & Speaker Queue — real-time event tool | #83 |
Each feature is fully isolated — new routes, new Firestore collections, no entanglement with existing code. Pick one, comment to claim it, and ship it. See the Contributing Guide for how to get started.
