What Cursor is Best For

  2. Complex business logic
  3. Code refactoring
  4. Database integration
  5. API development

What are some Cursor project examples?

Cursor shines on full-stack work across many files, so the best examples have a real backend: a Next.js and Supabase SaaS starter with magic-link auth, a streaming AI API route with rate limiting, or a DM booking agent for tattoo artists that takes Stripe deposits. Eight weekend-scoped Cursor project examples, including builds people actually shipped, are written up separately. Every idea below comes with a prompt you paste into Cursor.
