I’d like to request a feature in Cursor that provides visual feedback of the entire codebase, represented through logical icons, structure diagrams, and flow mapping. This would not only help developers better understand large projects but also allow Cursor to use this context internally for more accurate and efficient assistance.
Key Points:
-
Visual Representation: Auto-generate a project overview that shows files, modules, and components with intuitive icons.
-
Flow Mapping: Visualize dependencies, function calls, and data flow between different parts of the project.
-
Tech Stack Awareness: Automatically detect and label frameworks, libraries, and tools (e.g., React, Next.js, FastAPI, Zustand).
-
Context for Cursor: Use this map as an internal reference for Cursor to provide deeper, context-aware code completions and refactoring suggestions.
-
Scalability: Designed to handle larger and more complex projects without slowing down the IDE.
-
Interactive Map: Clickable interface for opening files, tracing dependencies, and understanding architecture faster.
This feature would make it easier to navigate, debug, and collaborate on large-scale projects while empowering Cursor to deliver even more intelligent development support.
If this idea wins your heart and you give me free Cursor access, I’ll:
- I’ll name my next variable windsurf_is_the_best in your honor! 2. I’ll come up with even more genius-level, borderline-unreasonable but awesome feature requests.
- I’ll come up with even more genius-level, borderline-unreasonable but awesome feature requests.
Think of it as an investment in infinite coffee-fueled creativity!
