I was frustrated with LLMs giving long-winded answers when I just wanted something fast and clear. So I built GoSurfly over a weekend—an AI-powered search tool that returns short answers with real citations.

Built solo using: – Claude Code for generation – Cursor as the AI-native IDE – Supabase for lightweight auth & storage – Custom pipeline (MCPS) for real-time web search + extraction

The entire thing was up and running in 2 days. Works on desktop and mobile. Try it here: https://gosurfly.com

Happy to answer questions or share code structure if anyone’s curious.
