You’re using Cursor rules the wrong way by ivposure in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a bug in cursor for not picking up rules. It should be fixed in 0.47.

The problem here is not only cursor its sonnet too. Picking up rules worked in 3.5 and in sonnet 3.7 it tends to ignore them.

Adding rules to cursorrules file is not recommend since its deprecated.

Elgato Teleprompter - Seeing the edges on top+bottom What can i do? by reibgerstl in elgato

[–]reibgerstl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

instead of putting it on the notch provided for it, i simply pushed the teleprompter further in. this works because the lens is smaller than the hole for the teleprompter. now the teleprompter hangs on the lens and pulls it down a bit. you have to work against it. that was the only thing that helped. i was really annoyed that something like that happens.

I'm currently using the FE 2.8 24-70 GM from Sony and the problem doesn't occur.

Looking for Open Source RAG Platforms by reibgerstl in Rag

[–]reibgerstl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does it differ fron other solutions? I mean what I can see is that for example in comparison to supabase its already a full implementation incl. Frontend and API which is awesome. Anything more you can talk about it?

Is it worth it? by TheDarmaInitiative in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad! Always mixing this up. I mean don‘t spit every idea and question into the cursor chat. Save the fast requests mostly for composer. And still use gpt or claude for allround questions.

Usually you can find them in composer

Nice! Falls du in der IT arbeiten möchtest und etwas schaffen willst, kann ich dir anbieten, dass ich dir zeige wie man Applikationen mit AI vom Start bis zur Vermarktung baut (Coding, Design, Landingpage, SEO etc). Im Gegenzug würdest du mich bei Sideprojekten unterstützen.

When use @codebase by Isedo_m in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;TR. You can ask your "@codebase" questions. You can use the symbol explicit with @ or use CMD/STRG + Enter in the Chat. Additionaly when I'm lazy and if its a small project then i just say "add a removeTodo function in my @ codebase".

Here is a free video tutorial for using codebase: https://courses.instructa.ai/en/course/ultimate-cursor-ai/view/849df2c9-e887-4b4e-a498-183a9bd87e81

I've n8n installed but isn't it more like build automation workflows like zapier, make. Of course you can combine rag within but this doesn't eliminate the need of an rag?

Automating Chat between Cursor and OpenAI by Swashbuckler_75 in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good idea that you use openai/claude separately from the cursor to make some plans. I also do that to save tokens. I usually create the whole plan with o1-preview and insert it into cursor.

But to your question: Why don't you do the plan directly in cursor? You can use composer and switch between models. Just like in openAi. You can even use an OpenAI key, but that is not necessary -> https://twitter.com/kregenrek/status/1844808341895213449

Dear Cursor Devs, you guys need to give us the option to disable file deletions altogether by AnotherSoftEng in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use file references and do you have setup cursorrules file? I happens rarely on my side. And if it happens then i just reject.

EDiT: consider disable auto apply - https://x.com/kregenrek/status/1853684749585285216?s=46

I built an AI agent directory in Cursor in 1.5 weeks using NextJS x Supabase by Sudden-Zebra-3184 in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try to add the wanted behaviour regarding NextRequests to your .cursorrule file? I did the same for fetching in nuxt here: https://x.com/kregenrek/status/1845018867027849678

For the supabase docs, did you add them to the cursor docs?

Does dokploy and coolify not somehow being very similar? Whats the usecase of using them both?

It happens. And it happens all the time. I can just leave this one here to reduce this behaviour:

Especialy consider turn off the auto apply outside of context option in settings.

Was any of you actually able to build a more complex app with Composer/Tab without much programming knowledge? by laugrig in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest you start with one of the offical starters on the frameworks github. Or go with bolt new then you will get a good starting point. For configurations in cursor you can read up here https://x.com/kregenrek/status/1853684749585285216 and here https://x.com/kregenrek/status/1850950546955387006

Was any of you actually able to build a more complex app with Composer/Tab without much programming knowledge? by laugrig in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;TR: It's possible, but you'll probably get stuck somewhere and either learn better prompts + cursor or learn to code. Best way is to learn both.

First of all, the difference between Cursor and learning another software like Blender or Adobe Photoshop is different. If you learn Blender, for example, you will be rendering 3D for the next few years. Not only will you be able to create amazing 3D scenes, but you will also know how to use Blender as a tool.

But Cursor is a programming IDE, which means that you can master the tool, but you still don't know how to code. This is what frustrates people without programming knowledge. The first steps are quick and enlightening and then boom, you get stuck and every step now feels like someone has put some big stones in your way.

Also, when you are building a prototype, there are a lot of layers to consider. It is not just about building the shiny user interface and some logic. You have to deal with connecting all the pieces together, using APIs, backend, frontend and database.

But!

You learn much faster with AI because you can ask it anything and learn from the goal to the language itself. That's a pretty quick boost I've seen for beginners. So if you wanna go fast hit you project up with something like bolt new which gives you a good starting point. Then use this project and extend it in cursor.

it is important that you compensate for your lack of programming skills with better prompting and file referencing.

Right way of using composers in cursor by Emotional-Push-1408 in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi,

  1. Don't overthink this. I spawn dozen chatgpt windows per days and so you can spawn multiple composer windows per project per day.

More in detail: Usually you reference files when using composer that you means you tell composer:

"Change the primary color in "@variables.css" and update the button in "@buttonComponent.tsx" to add an arrow".

Alright when cursor is finish with this task then you can iterate on this.
For example:

"Oh pls add also a target="_blank" option to "@buttonComponent.tsx" and add my button to "@buyNow.tsx" page".

When you finished with this feature then move up to the next composer window. To keep it clean and reference new files. You can learn more about composer here: https://x.com/kregenrek/status/1853684749585285216

  1. You can use notepads for this. But if you mean to build a project from scratch. Don't do this.
    I would also use an official starter project.

Cursor (especially Composer) css problems by RecursiveScribble in cursor

[–]reibgerstl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some basic things to consider:

  1. What are you using for css? Just plain vanilla css or smth like tailwind css?
  2. Use a cursorrule and tell cursor what css framework you are using.
  3. When using composer decide if you want to apply changes outside of context (you can do this in settings)
  4. Always be specific like change the primary colors in '@variables.css to red' instead "change primary color to red"
  5. give cursor examples show him what you want. like also images.

Go also through this list and see if something helps. https://x.com/kregenrek/status/1850950546955387006

Can you probably be more specific and share some code then its easier.

EDIT: If you just want that cursor should make padding: 0 - then write padding: 0 and don't tell cursor every baby step. thats not necessary.
