😸 Cursor for video

gm legends, happy Tuesday.

Here’s today’s lineup: Clik puts AI right inside your video timeline so you can cut, tweak, and polish without jumping between tools; Dropstone is a self-learning IDE that evolves with your code; and Circle is the creative playground where humans and AI build off each other in real time.

P.S. Nika just started a forum thread asking if solo founders can actually raise money — or if that’s just another startup myth

Clik rethinks editing without the mess of timelines. It scans your footage, suggests clean cuts and transitions, and lets you tweak everything through simple clicks or prompts instead of scrubbing through hours of clips.

🔥 Our Take: The AI video editing race still doesn’t have a clear winner, but this one’s getting close. It actually feels like something you’d want to use, quick, responsive, and not trying too hard to be smart. Just solid, usable tech that gets the job done.

Nika started a conversation about one of startup world’s favorite warnings — that solo founders can’t raise money. She’s heard it all: investors only bet on teams, funding adds pressure, it’s not worth it. But she’s curious what people with real experience think.

What helped you actually get the raise? Who backed you? And was it worth the trade-off?

Dropstone adds real-time adaptation to your workflow. It plugs into Claude Code, MCP Server, and your existing stack to evolve with your project as you build, not just when you start.

🔥 Our Take: It’s rare for an IDE to feel alive, but this one kind of does. No fluff, no buzzwords, just something built by people who clearly got tired of tools that lag behind the way we actually code.

Circle is a collaborative space where humans and AI can build together in real time. You can paint, remix, or jump into someone else’s project and take it somewhere new. It’s part creation tool, part social experiment, and fully open to chaos.

🔥 Our Take: AI tools have gotten really good at making things look perfect, and really bad at feeling alive. Circle brings the noise back. It’s unpredictable, communal, and actually fun to be in. Less prompt engineering, and more creative combustion.
