I am new to cursor. I had done coding before so I have an idea of what a code is doing but that’s about it. I am building a web project using node, react, typescript and supabase. An assessment app
Now, I build a decent looking UI in a day and was happy with it. However, when I tried to enhance the feature by adding more logic or change even a small UI feature, it would break something else somewhere.
For example, I used to make the question load animatedly, So I asked to make this set from a flag. if the flag is on, then animate else not. This broke the complete UI and I was sitting hours getting back to where it was.
So, I know big companies are using it. So, it cannot be cursor which is at fault. I might me doing some dumb things which is causing it to get get confused. for example, the length of my main page has 700+ lines of code. Is that too much for cursor?
Also are there some rules that I can feed into cursor so that it doesn’t mess with code that was working well. I badly want to get this to work and I don’t know what mistake I am doing. I am tired of this feeling of dog trying to catch its tail.
I just purchased cursor yesterday and I already felt like giving up. While I wont give up yet, I want some help on what I should do to get out of this situation.
Any help will be highly, highly appreciated.
