THANK YOU! I miss the old days where organized forums where king. Discord is good at certain things, but not for keeping things organized.

I agree. I am new here. Just downloaded cursor and I’m trying it out. I am thinking about using it for web design and see how that works out. Maybe it can help with jQuery and help me not having to look up the jquery docs all the time. I shall see.

Hello, new to Cursor too. Using it mainly for AWS Lambda integrations. This is good stuff!

May O ask you why you use jaunty in 2025? You can do almost everything jQuery can do with the native APIs of the browser. My tip for you is to learn vanilla JavaScript first. Take a look at this for example:

What kind of websites do you plan on building?

I build mostly Django/Wagtail websites but occasionally/rarely I write WordPress plugins. With JavaScript things are much easier since they introduced the Fetch API for asynchronous requests. Some of the websites predate that. However jQuery seems to do tree traversal better unless there are js features I don’t know about.

What kind of DOM traversal are you talking about? Why is that one of the most important features of jQuery for your specific use cases?

You don’t need jQuery at all nowadays. Ten to fifteen years ago, when you still had to deal with ie8, it was another story.

I’d recommend doing things with vanilla JavaScript as much as possible, since that will help you a lot more in the long run.

If you work with old sites that are already using jQuery, I can understand why you would need to learn about it.

Hi everyone! Chien here. I love seeing this forum format - it brings back fond memories of gaming communities and guild discussion boards. I’m currently enrolled in Meta’s front-end development program. While I’m new to front-end development, I’ve always been passionate about technology, and the recent breakthroughs in AI coding assistants have opened up incredible new possibilities. They’ve made writing code so much more enjoyable and accessible.

Thanks to the Cursor team for all your work - I really enjoyed your discussion on Lex Fridman’s podcast. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to building with Cursor and being part of this community.
