Cursor has so many amazing features that I just keep discovering new ones the more I use it. If you do want me to share more about the tools that I've used during this video, comment below. I'll make sure to add that to my to-do list for future videos.

Happy Shipping!

Broo this is what will replace coding tutorials in 3 years time 🤫, if you have found this or have gotten yourself here, just know you are ahead of the curve. Thanks a lot Yifan

Nicely done, bro! Your Cursor Tips videos are the only ones that have helped me develop quickly in large-scale projects so far. Keep it up!

This is starting to become my favorite channel for Cursor/AI dev videos! 🤩👏🏻

I’m also a working developer so this kind of actual stuff is great. A Cursor-dev adding *actual tests* to assure the code performs according to specification, feels like a light breeze on a hot summer’s day. 😍

Keep up the AI-some work!

Keep creating best practice content for Cursor.

Hi Yifan, I'm finding your videos helpful as I get to know Cursor. I have some constructive feedback which could (imo) make your videos easier to follow. 1. 2:14 Make your editor full-screen instead of with the background/border to make it easier to read. 2. 5:51 Instead of zooming in and around to follow your mouse, just zoom in on the section and stay there. It's very hard to follow when it's jumping around. 3. 1:56 When you're explaining something in the editor, hide your camera view so viewers can read the screen.

That said, great job with these. I know you've mentioned it in other videos, but I would love to see a deeper dive into how to use Notepad. Thank you!

Another great video, man! I like seeing how people use Cursor for actual feature building and real world type uses vs the "how to build some stupid simple app with Cursor" that everyone else seems to be cranking out.

I'm going to use the whole "breaking a feature down into actionable steps with AI and feeding those steps back into the AI" thing on the project I'm working on. 👍

Super useful content! Keep it up. What do you use for screen recording? Loving the zoom in and outs of the code. ❤

You can clearly see this is a developer who’s ACTUALLY worked on creating applications. Not just wannabe “content creator” who’s in it for “the views” to ride the hype train. Subbing right away. Would love to know if you guys have similar non-fluff channels suggestions going “beyond the basics”

[loombra]

Great content! Can you make a video on using Cursor for Test (creating test cases, running the tests)? I can’t find any video on that?

[mic]

Just discovered your channel and i love it! Can you share the prompt you'r using in your .cursorrules please?

[cb]

Do you have a library of prompts you use to get the roadmap from the AI? Amazing stuff . Just found your channel

[krq]

I accidentally closed composer and it cleared the changes. The versions're messed up and I'll have to start over. This is happening not for the first time smh Guess I have to commit changes when everything works

[ContentVibeio]

Can you share you prompt for make smaller steps please. Great channel Subscribed

[girijeshthodupunuri]

command N, creates a new file on my computer, how are you creating a new composer window with command N?

[hausplayer]

my biggest problem with cursor right now is that it doesnt know a single thing about the project when asking him the stuff. i have to tell him every single thing that has been done for it to work well

[tradingwithwill]

I find all these options confusing adding reference to docs, codebase, current code file, URLs to documentation, notepads, etc.

[antoniofuller]

I want to compete with you. I'm 25 btw

Yo Send us that sample .cursorrules file
