Cursor must-do best practices

Hi everyone,

I recently switched to Cursor Pro and it's been great so far. I feel like I'm probably missing some best practices that more experienced users have picked up over time.

Is there anything you always do while coding with Cursor, especially before committing or deploying? How do you use it to improve code quality and architecture?

Also, what's the biggest problem or frustration you've had with Cursor? I'd love to hear what you've learned.

Now you won’t have to crash out, and go all caps to explain the bug to your agent

Hello everyone!

As developers, we all use AI coding agents every day—or at least from time to time. And while building, it eventually gets to the point where YOUR PROMPTS ARE ALL IN UPPERCASE BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN FIXING THE SAME BUG FOR THE 10TH TIME.

That's the problem I wanted to solve, so I built Reflex

Reflex is a local-first IDE extension that learns from successful workflows and repeated debugging patterns, then turns them into reusable workflows so you and your AI coding agents don't have to solve the same problems over and over again.

Everything runs locally, so your code, ideas, and workflows stay on your machine.

To be honest I’m looking for feedback but not forcing a list of questions for users to answer. One thing I’m really looking for is to know if this actually saves your time as a developer or vibe-coder. And my goal is to make non- technical persons code better and more organized, less crash outs at 2AM and less tokens and prompts to fix the same patterns. I have been using it myself and it actually saves time for me, instead of explaining the same mistakes.

At what point did you stop building and start showing users?

Hello, I have been building this tool since the middle of May.

It allows business owners to call or text what's new in their business, and OneCall handles the marketing by creating social media posts, generating images, and emailing subscribers.

The goal is to help small businesses grow their online presence without hiring a marketer, which can be expensive, or spending time switching between tools instead of focusing on their business.

I've heard "talk to users ASAP" a lot, but I'm not sure where the line is between:

  • getting feedback early
  • building too much before talking to users

At what point did you start showing your MVP to real users?

Here is what I have so far: https://onecall-theta.vercel.app/

Drop your idea below, i will give feedback and test it

Hello, I have been working on Nect- a social media management tool that connects your accounts together and writes platform native posts with one prompt.

I decided to work on this after going to builders community, they recommended to add this feature.

And the feedback I got online was that the post generation is useful for every platform. But my competitors could add this feature and a feature wasn’t enough to convince.

So I decided to change it to a voice agent. Small businesses could call the agent and say like we have a new drink and the agent does the content creation and posting, analyzing, replying, emailing subscribers.

What do you think about this? Drop your idea and link, I will test it.

The mistake I made building my first app costed me a lot.

Last year while I was building my first app I just assumed people would use it because I though I was addressing the issue people faced daily. Turning receipts into recipe and track calories and so on. I kept adding features that I thought that would make the app “perfect” and never reaching the shipping phase.

But now building my second one and already got early user feedback and suggestions on features from other builders at Alif. Would posting from one tab to all your social media accounts and auto post generation that is platform native, also scheduling posts save time for you ?
Then check out Nect - https://nect-connect.vercel.app

What advice or feedback would you give?
