I built SecretMemoryLocker ( https://ift.tt/3R6pd5u ), a file encryption tool that generates keys dynamically from your answers to personal questions instead of using a static master password.

You can spawn the agent into locally running web apps in dev mode with `npx stagewise` from the project root. The agent lets you then click on HTML Elements in your app, enter prompts like 'increase the height here' and will implement the changes in your source code. Before stagewise, we were building a vertical SaaS for logistics from scratch and loved using prototyping tools like v0 or lovable to get to the first version. But when switching from v0/ lovable to Cursor for local development, we felt like the frontend magic was gone. ...
