I was building Orango to allow AI agents to use any software product.

Then, MCP came out.
Model Context Protocol is the new standard for connecting LLMs to external tools, data sources, and environments.

So we started building mcp-use, the open-source library to interact with MCP servers with custom agents.

I've been having a lot of fun exploring AI and using tools like @Cursor, @bolt.new, @Lovable, and @Warp to learn how to build and make some apps for myself! I'm also noticing a tremendous amount of growth in folks creating their own apps using these same tools which has me wondering... if a company wanted to acquire someone's app or tool that was built via vibe coding, would it matter how it was built? Does the method of how it was built impact the valuation?
In my idealistic eyes, I'd like to think it doesn't. As an acquisition is often much more than just the tech but also the user base, brand, and even team behind the product. If anything I think that acquiring a product that has been "vibe coded" and putting them into capable engineering hands would only enhance the product...or a least make the code base cleaner.
I also believe that talent that is able to create stunning products with AI is currently a small percentage of folks, and that companies should be investing in acquiring that talent (either independently or via product acquisition) so that they can stay ahead in innovation while learning how to implement AI tools more efficiently in their orgs.
Very curious to hear what you all think!

Hey everyone, I ve been playing around with different ways to keep my ideas, research, and drafts in check, but it still feels like I m drowning in research. :P

I ve tried traditional note-taking apps, but they re not flexible. And mind maps? They start out fine but turn into a mess as it gets complex with more data.

The situation that happened:

I see how some creators on Subtsack are monetizing their content (they have a section for subscribers who can pay to access articles, videos, and private chat).

ICYMI: @levelsio shipped a flight simulator game last week. It's pretty fun, it's got some low poly / minecraft-esque graphics, pretty good physics, a turbo boost, and even PvP. The kicker is he built it, at least the version one anyway entirely by prompting @Cursor.

It got me thinking about a question that a ton of people have tried to answer in the past few years; What does the future look like for someone getting into development?

I ve been trying to cut down my Instagram usage, but I always end up opening the app just to check updates from a few accounts I care about.

The problem? Every time I do, I get trapped in endless scrolling.

Hello fellow PHers! I am curious what brought each of you to PH: What made you stick around? Are you more of a silent browser, an active commenter, or a serial hunter? What's the most unexpected/delightful find on the platform? If you can change one thing about PH, what would it be?
