Excel formula to postgres SQL compiler. Reminiscent of Salesforce formulas.

Demo uses postgres compiled for WASM so demo runs on an actual postgres db.

samanator commented on Cursor IDE support hallucinates lockout policy, causes user cancellations   old.reddit.com/r/cursor/c... · Posted by u/scaredpelican

Cursor sucks. Not as a product. As a team. Their customer support is terrible.

I was offered in writing a refund by the team who cold reached out to me to ask me why I cancelled my sub one week after start. Then they ignored my 3+ emails in response asking them to refund, and other means of trying to communicate with them. Offering me a refund as a bait to gain me back, then when I accept it they ghost me. Wow. Very low.

The product is not terrible but the team responses are. And this, if you see how they handled it, is also a very poor response. First thing you notice if you open the link is that the Cursor team removed the reddit post! As if we were not going to see it or something? Who do they think they are? Censoring bad comments which are 100% legit.

I am giving it a go to competitors just out of sheer frustration with how they handle customers, and I do recommend everybody to explore other products before you settle on Cursor. I don't intend to ever re-subscribe and have recommended friends to do the same, most of which agree with my experience.

Interesting. The same thing happened to me. Was offered a refund (graciously, as I had forgotten to cancel the subscription). And after thanking them and agreeing to the refund, was promptly ignored!

Very strange behavior honestly.

Can you please add this shameless plug?

Opensource BM25 search in PL/pgSQL (for example where you can't use Rust extensions), and hybrid search with pgvector and Reciprocal Rank Fusion.

The two top comments since the November 7th updatee have thousands of upvotes because of affected users. Comments:

ThSAWistheLAW WC (11/7/24) "I like this app but it is not functioning correctly at the moment. If your video that you're viewing must be interrupted by a message notification or if you simply turn your phone right side up to read the messages or comments the video will stop playing and it will not start no matter how many times you hit the play button. Other than that it's a fine app."

michael. jacqui (11/8/24) "New update is awful. It no longer saves where you left off on a video. If you swipe down and leave the video going to search for a new one it automatically paused the video. When you go back to play the video it cannot play unless you select a new video and then have to reselect the video you want to watch to get it to play. The app is horrible and extremely frustrating."

I thought it was only me, but when I went to update the app I saw that the most recent reviews all describe serious UI bugs and have thousands of likes.
