index.html:
- CRITICAL JS BUG: setTheme() had a ghost orphan 'else' block left from
the old hljs-switching version that was never fully removed. The function
correctly closed at line 2077 but a dangling '} else { ... hljsTheme.href
... }' remained at lines 2078-2082. This caused a JS syntax error that
silently killed the entire <script> block — theme toggle, hamburger menu,
copy buttons, nav active state, smooth scroll: all broken. Fixed by
removing the dead code entirely.
- Add overflow-x: hidden to html element to prevent any overflowing content
from enabling horizontal scroll on mobile.
compare/*.html (all 9 pages):
- Add overflow-x: hidden to html element (same fix, same reason)
- Add @media (max-width: 640px) block that hides .nav-back span text and
the 'Get started' CTA on narrow screens. The compare nav has three items
(logo, back-link, theme+CTA) with no hamburger — at mobile widths these
were colliding/overflowing. Now at ≤640px: back-link shows '←' only
(span hidden), CTA hidden, theme toggle stays visible and usable.
- Wrap nav-back text in <span> so the mobile rule can target it
- Add word-break: break-word and min-width: 0 to .narrative to prevent
long words/URLs from forcing horizontal overflow

<h2 class="section-title">The details</h2>
|
|
<p class="section-body">Cursor has evolved far beyond a code editor. But its core identity and its strongest features remain IDE-first.</p>
|
|
<div class="narrative">
|
|
|
|
<h3>Cursor in 2026 is not Cursor in 2024</h3>
|
|
<p>Cursor has moved fast. <strong>Memories</strong> launched in June 2025, giving per-project context persistence. <strong>Automations</strong> launched in March 2026, enabling scheduled cloud-executed agent tasks. <strong>Cursor v3.0</strong> (April 2026) repositioned it as agent-first with a 30+ plugin marketplace. The company closed at a <strong>$29.3B valuation</strong> with $2B ARR, and the Supermaven acquisition brought one of the fastest autocomplete engines in the industry. This is a serious, well-funded product moving quickly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What Cursor is really for</h3>
|
|
<p>Cursor's strongest features are fundamentally IDE features: <strong>autocomplete as you type</strong> with Supermaven-powered latency, <strong>inline diffs</strong> that let you accept or reject changes line-by-line, and <strong>refactoring with full file context</strong> visible in the editor. No terminal-based agent replicates the inline diff experience. If you spend most of your coding time in an editor and want AI that integrates deeply into that workflow, Cursor is the category leader.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Memory and scheduling: per-project cloud vs. cross-project self-hosted</h3>
|
|
<p>Cursor Memories are <strong>per-project</strong> and stored on Cursor's cloud infrastructure — they persist as long as your subscription is active. Cursor Automations run on <strong>Cursor cloud VMs</strong>, not on your own server. Hermes runs on your hardware: memory accumulates <strong>cross-project</strong> indefinitely, and scheduled jobs run on whatever server you choose. The architectural difference matters for teams that need to keep code off external infrastructure, or who want memory that spans multiple projects and codebases.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Data sovereignty</h3>
|
|
<p>When Cursor Automations execute your code on cloud VMs, your code passes through Cursor's infrastructure. For open-source side projects this is often fine. For proprietary business logic, regulated data, or security-sensitive codebases, the question of <strong>where your code runs</strong> is non-trivial. Hermes runs entirely on your own hardware — the agent, the scheduler, the memory store, and any code it executes never leave your network unless you explicitly push something out.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>The combination pattern</h3>
|
|
<p>These tools work well together. Use <strong>Cursor in the editor</strong> for autocomplete, inline diffs, and active coding sessions. Use <strong>Hermes in the background</strong> for cross-project memory, headless scheduled tasks, messaging integrations, and continuity between sessions. Many teams run both: Cursor for the creative act of writing code, Hermes for everything that needs to persist and run when no one is watching.</p>
