Cline 3.1 AI vs Cursor AI Web App Build

[@toddwmac]

Thanks. Good stuff and great timing. This is top of mind recently. Cline is certainly promising, especially with the MCP integration. The terminal integration is a bit bumpy for me at the moment...but working the issues. Cheers!

[@RobShocks]

@@toddwmac Nice one Todd. I’m still happy with Cursor but always keeping an eye on what’s in development. Playing with Deepseek as well to see if the improvements in cost and speed are worth it.

Small context windows hurts deepseek v3 real world

[@LebJamal23]

What's the differnce between using Cline or cursor and connecting it to claude vs just using claude directly?

Thanks for your sharing

Those chapter marks are fairly on point. I'll check out the tool thanks. Is it your own?

[@bwilliams060]

@@RobShocks no but it's pretty good! Take AI with you as you surf the web!

[@RobShocks]

@ just checked it out. It’s pretty compelling. It seems to have a lot of functions. Giving it a try. What’s your favourite feature?

[@bwilliams060]

@@RobShocks YT summaries most but ive buit a few custom command to take selected text (code) and open directly in windsurf etc

[@SaidThaher]

The problem with cline is can hit the rate limit for any llm so easy .. for example sonnet have 40 rpm for tier 1 and that can be easy hits .. unlimited rate worked good but you lose the quality sonnet provided

[@RobShocks]

That is a good point Said. Perhaps Cline is putting too much pressure on Claude where other tools like Cursor offloads in a mixture of agents style that makes it more efficient.

[@TheTrainstation]

Use openrouter claude api key it's unlimited

[@orthodox_gentleman]

@@RobShocksthat is a great point brov! Maybe Cursor is the better way to go. I don’t know what to do myself.

[@RobShocks]

@ I've gone back to Cursor it flows better for me all around for now.

[@TheTrainstation]

I use cline in cursor. Windsurf is dirt.

[@RobShocks]

@@TheTrainstation interesting setup, does it work well or do you get conflicts?

[@metin2-universe]

it would be perfect if u added openhands to this video

[@RobShocks]

I worked with (OpenHands) OpenDevin for a while when it kicked off. How has it developed since?

Dubbing AI for those who don't speak spoken English?

[@RobShocks]

@@RuandosSantosGoncalves you mean subtitles you would like subtitles or my voice audio in different languages?

[@RuandosSantosGoncalves]

@RobShocks @RobShocks I have difficulty understanding spoken English, could you enable the option for automatic dubbing? To listen in Brazilian Portuguese.

[@RobShocks]

@ I will make sure to add subtitles next time and will investigate dubbing

[@RuandosSantosGoncalves]

@RobShocks thanks

[@mcasma1523]

Cursor with deepseek

[@RobShocks]

Absolutely, playing with this as the moment

[@MrLangam]

What happens after the free trial? What features will be removed despite using my own Deepseek API key?

[@TheWizardTower]

But then don't you have to pay the $20/mo for Cursor? Cline is free.

[@tomgreen8246]

Cline is good but getting more and more buggy as the dev implements features. Its looping heaps more than it used to, and only works really well with Claude 3.5 Sonnet - worst, it BURNS tokens. MCP is by far the best current feature of it... Big tip is to not have auto-approve on for anything but MCP and Read, to have your project planning documents in the directory and consistently remind Cline to reference them. That includes dev docs for all tech stacks used, otherwise it goes on training data and hallucinates like crazy. It also isnt great at following .clinerules. I've actually gone back to Cursor due to that, and Aide is showing promise (thinking of building Cline and various other coding agents into it to collaborate).

[@tomgreen8246]

@anatalelectronics4096 you realise you can use it without Claude, right?

[@RobShocks]

Cline has some nice touches but the more you play with it you start to see what Cursor does really well in the background.

[@tomgreen8246]

@@RobShocks spot on, its why I keep going back

[@orthodox_gentleman]

I wonder if adjusting the system prompt for cline would make a difference? I was thinking of adding instructions to collaborate with Aider especially the /Architect command and run Aider with DeepSeek V3? Just some thoughts I had..
