[@lkd982]

You are doing a wonderful service for the community who like me are self-taught, self-doubting, proficient but not very good even after many years of effort, adhd, and wandering focus, who just need all the MISSING BITS that you provide, respeck!!! When it comes to the Supabase schema you make it seem as though a person actually needs to think fo themself, but you could just ask cursor for the appropriate schema!

[@MK-jn9uu]

Seriously, one of few people online that knows wtf they’re talking about ❤ thank you

[@amotriuc]

on average a developer writes 100 lines per day. Much more time is spent on thinking and figuring what to do and how than writing the code. So not sure how AI can replace that yet...

[@InternetStranger10101]

Thanks! Huge help

[@nimblename]

This is the best tutorial I’ve watched on cursor based development! Thank you sir. Lots of helpful tips along the way (ie when to use composer vs chat, using product requirements documentation for the AI etc). I got a little lost during the database setup so I’ll need to watch some more to get up to speed. Would love a beginner setup tutorial for GitHub! And process for commit/rolling back etc

reaaly wanted this to work as a non developer. Tried making my own app (three times!) but Cursor AI gave different answers the more questions it was given and couldn't fix my issues. So developer jobs are safe. lolz!

谢谢，系统性地帮助新人入门。举例来说，其他youtuber是没有讲NPX是什么的，那就成为了学习过程中的噪音。同样还有“我们只需要关注app的子页面”等。这种视角的讲解方式对不懂编程的人太重要了，是目前看到最好的讲解视频。

I started to use Cursor a couple weeks ago. I can say if you know what you are doing, yes you can get what you want fairly quickly. But if you soly rely on Cursor and Claude to design, implement and debug your code, it's gonna take way longer.

[@AIJasonZ]

Yea I think you need basic understanding of web dev for sure, to know how to prompt it effectively; That’s why want to cover the workflow and how to do certain parts like auth & backend :)

[@PubgSpeed-wl8yo]

@@AIJasonZ I've been creating websites using website builders for 12 years. What he showed me was a very dense forest in which you don’t know where to go. And for a simple user this is equivalent to higher mathematics. So this is a crutch that can only be used by those who do serious programming.

[@nsdalton]

You can also put your frontend instructions into a .cursorrules file at the root of the project. Make sure cursor is using the file by going to cursor settings and checking in the general tab.

imagine this: google form to collect customer feedback, automatically turned into github issues (with some ai formating). then let the ai implement a solution by itself. or developers creating issues themselves. have some automated tests in place (written by ai of course). requires some good prompt workflows and (for now) educated devs to set these up, but at this point it seems inevitable that well replace ourselves with ai devs in the next few years.

[@moea5298]

Ive been using cursor and its simply mind boggling. the ability to parse the codebase, multi-file edit, one-click apply the generated code, finally makes AI code generation a coding standard. However, im personally still struggling with UI/UX prompts, and longer chain of prompt commands. I know there is v0, but i think at this point, its like taking a small u-turn after going straight for so long

[@gabrieleferrari68]

Hey dude, this video is simply amazing! Maybe others too. I want to create a web app using React and Node.js from scratch. Please include something that also uses a MySQL database with the mysql2 library. Maybe add some auth with email and login. Email login would be good. Compliments!

[@anreoil]

I never watch his videos, as I can't stand his accent. I give AI the link to the video, which is then analysed, and I'm reading it as a shorter lecture summary. So, technically, I can comment in 10 minutes. Just to illustrate, this is how it looks on my end: Today, I want to show you how you can use Cursor to build a production-ready full-stack application without any programming knowledge. We'll cover everything from ideation, setup, building the frontend and backend, implementing authentication, and deploying the application online. First, let's talk about Cursor. If you're not familiar, Cursor is an AI-native code editor that enables almost anyone to build any application they want. It's so user-friendly that even an 8-year-old can create a full web application in just 45 minutes. People have already used Cursor to build high-quality production-level applications like video editors, Chrome extensions, and even crypto exchanges. However, most tutorials only show how to build simple demos. Today, I want to demonstrate the full potential of Cursor by building a complete, production-ready application. The application we'll build is an emoji generator. Users can type in any prompt to generate emojis, see emojis created by others, like them, and download them. The app will also include a full authentication flow and a backend to track all generated emojis and users. ### Setting Up the Project To start, we'll set up the project using libraries like Next.js and React, which simplify development. We'll also use UI component libraries like ShadCN and Tailwind CSS to make our code cleaner and more readable. 1. **Initialize the Project:** - Open Cursor and the terminal. - Run the command: `npx shadcn@latest init`. - When prompted, type `y` to proceed. - Choose to set up a new Next.js project by typing `yes`. - Name the app "Emoji Maker". - Select the "New York" style for a more condensed view. - Choose a neutral color scheme. - Confirm the CSS variable format. etc etc, blah blah
