What they are

Cursor

Cursor is a VS Code fork with AI embedded at the core, not bolted on as a plugin. It indexes your entire repository, supports multi-file edits via Composer, runs autonomous agents in the background via Cloud Agents, and gives you access to models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google within a single interface. Used daily by developers at Stripe, Figma, Adobe, and Salesforce, it is the dominant AI-native IDE as of mid-2026. The credit-based pricing introduced in 2025 means your effective monthly cost depends heavily on which models you choose.

RSS.com

RSS.com is a podcast hosting platform that stores audio files, generates an RSS feed, and distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories. Independent podcasters and small teams use it to get shows live without technical setup. The platform includes basic analytics and a simple website builder, though advanced analytics and monetization tools are thin compared to some competitors.
