FAQ
Do I need to know how to code?
Basic familiarity helps a lot for reviewing and debugging what Cursor generates, but it dramatically lowers the bar versus coding from scratch.
What if I need a database?
Ask Cursor to wire up a hosted Postgres provider (like Supabase or Neon) as part of the scaffolding step.
