Some happy feedback

Hi guys, I know heavy users want to see some optimizations, but for me I managed to do the MVP of my dream project with cursor in just five days!!

You don’t understand, I got so much closer to my dream in five days than I could ever hope for. I thought MVP would probably take 6 months and cost me a fortune for a capable programmer. Now I managed it myself in five days and 15$ of credits.

Sure I get some of the negative-productive feedback here in the forum and maybe I’ll get to a point where I’m so used to just being able to implement a database into a complex backend and an absolutely functional front end (even though I barely ever got beyond a ‘hello world’-level in python myself) that start to see the negatives first, -but I’ll be forever thankful for putting me in a position where a dream of mine could actually become a reality.

Back in early ChatGPT days, I tried copypasting back and forth and it was hell and bad and hell. Cursor on the other hand… I watched youtube for the most part of realizing my dream. How insane is that?

THANK YOU CURSOR :heart:

I laugh every time I ask the AI to make a plan and it puts weeks or months in there :face_with_hand_over_mouth:


Don’t forget to post release version on github or on your website!

You can do it in one day :grin: if you use Cursor a bit differently. It’s all about how you structure the prompts, reuse context, and leverage snippets efficiently. Once you dial that in, MVPs feel like cheat codes.

sounds unbelievable! :smiley: Are there any good resources you can point to or do you have any tips for me? Thank you for the feedback!

Agree completely, @0xHACKS could you share your approach?

I will also chime in with mine :slight_smile: but happy to see first how others do it.

I had one project that I wanted to do quickly. I even saved it to the temp folder. Two weeks later, I found out that I was trying to reinvent the GitHub - PDFMathTranslate/PDFMathTranslate-next: PDF scientific paper translation with preserved formats - 基于 AI 完整保留排版的 PDF 文档全文双语翻译,支持 Google/DeepL/Ollama/OpenAI 等服务,提供 CLI/GUI/Docker.
