If it's a single project, you could try putting some of your corrections in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md if supported. I don't remember if cursor reads from there, but I think it does have its own rules system.
Basically just a bullet list of stuff like "- use httpx instead of requests" or "- http libraries already exist, we dont need to build a new one that shells out to /proc/tcp"
Just add stuff you find yourself correcting a lot. You may realize you have a set of coding conventions and you just need to document it in the repo and point to that.
Smaller project-specific lists like that have been better imo vs giant prompts. If I wouldn't expect a colleague to read a giant instruction doc, I'm not going to expect llms to do a good job of it either.
Is SimpleFIN basically the same as something like Plaid? I thought it was maybe an open source thing, but it looks like you still need to sync your bank accounts to their system first?
I didn't see your previous post, but my feedback would be that your readme doesn't really list all the features? It has some screenshots, but maybe a short list of major features/what you can do with it would be helpful for people just driving by to look at it?
I don't think you need a fancy landing page for every oss project, but I have no way of telling what is different about your project without actually trying it out.
beancount + the web ui for it, fava, is what I end up going back to whenever I look for the sort of tools. Downside is I'm way behind on my ledger and don't _really_ want to spend the effort inputting everything to catch up.
