I installed Cloudflare tools in Cursor so the agent can check builds, docs, and the account without the dashboard. After setup, a prompt plus Commit in the Source Control sidebar is the whole publish step.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/operating-a-cms-on-cloudflare-powered-by-cursor/https://revthat.com/operating-a-cms-on-cloudflare-powered-by-cursor/I describe how to change a static site that has a lot of articles (i.e., a blog) into a site where I can edit the articles, like a CMS (or similar to how it would be done in WordPress), except the database is a folder full of Markdown files.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/using-grok-bot-to-review-this-entire-blog/https://revthat.com/using-grok-bot-to-review-this-entire-blog/I pointed Grok Bot at every RevThat post, asked it to find stale links and sloppy writing, then had it write a Cursor Agent prompt so the repo could be patched file by file.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/connecting-a-streamlit-app-to-autodesk-construction-cloud/https://revthat.com/connecting-a-streamlit-app-to-autodesk-construction-cloud/This guide explains how our Streamlit app logs into Autodesk and pulls real project data — like issues, RFIs, and submittals — from Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). It is written for people who are new to Python or are vibe-coding their way through a project. You do not need deep Python experience to follow along.Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/when-autodesk-api-auth-fails/https://revthat.com/when-autodesk-api-auth-fails/The author encountered issues with his app's authorization for Autodesk Construction Cloud due to system changes from Autodesk. After researching with AI tools, he discovered Autodesk's transition to a hub system. He created a new hub, migrated their apps, and found that the apps functioned correctly without needing code changes post-migration.Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/using-qa-pairs-for-recursive-chatbot-performance-improvement/https://revthat.com/using-qa-pairs-for-recursive-chatbot-performance-improvement/Generate QA pairs from the same retrieval stack the chatbot uses, score answers with a separate model, then iterate on prompts and search.Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/your-personal-ux-critic-using-gemini-llm-to-roast-your-app-demos/https://revthat.com/your-personal-ux-critic-using-gemini-llm-to-roast-your-app-demos/Recording software demos is a special kind of torture. You stumble over your words, the mouse cursor disappears, and you’re never quite sure if you’re focusing on the features that actually matter to the user. Usually, getting feedback means pestering a coworker, your neighbor at coworking, or paying a consultant. But there’s a better way.Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/deploying-a-streamlit-app-on-your-vps-with-cloudflare-for-the-subdomain/https://revthat.com/deploying-a-streamlit-app-on-your-vps-with-cloudflare-for-the-subdomain/So you’ve coded a Streamlit project, pushed it to GitHub, and rented a cheap VPS.

However, for static datasets that are only written once and don’t require real-time updates, paying for a hosted vector database service might be overkill.Fri, 06 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/using-a-prompt-file-with-cursor-streamlit/https://revthat.com/using-a-prompt-file-with-cursor-streamlit/In Cursor’s Composer you can point to an MD file as a prompt instead of typing it.

It seems to me that my addin is better because one can apply a Revit Material to the import. The native method does have an advantage of perhaps being more robust for huge OBJs, but meshes that big may overload Revit and make it sluggish. Of course, native is included in Revit 2022, so there is no extra cost for it. Revit before version 2022 does not have a direct way of importing OBJ meshes.Wed, 08 Dec 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://revthat.com/upgrading-revit-api-apps-for-newer-revit-versions/https://revthat.com/upgrading-revit-api-apps-for-newer-revit-versions/Every version of a Revit API app must reference some DLLs that come with Revit’s releases. Open the .sln of your API code. In Visual Studio’s Solution Explorer, see Properties. One can see what Revit version an app was written for by the path of some of those references.
