As someone who has found themselves getting into an infinite loop scenario on more than one occasion with useEffect… I felt this one.

To celebrate hitting the “submit beta build to Apple for review” button milestone, I’ve written a blog post on what I wished I knew at the start.

I am 👌 this close to being ready for my Open Beta of this app I’m building.
Here’s hoping Apple approves it when I submit it this week. Kinda exciting.

Also: ensure there’s some guiding lights in said document. Like “no file greater than 800 lines of code, keep it modular with long term maintainability in mind”

New Cursor Lesson (I really need to write a blog on this): if it’s a major feature, start with a document on what you want to build. Leverage an “Engineer” brain. Hammer down the logic. Have the brain poke holes in it. When finalized, have it part of the implementation/troubleshooting prompt

3 Cursor prompts that I’ll forever start using because the results are night and day different (mix/match/combine, depending on scenario)
“Please user your (Mobile App Engineer | Product Marketing | UX Mobile Designer) brain for this one”

And I know at least one business owner who confessed even if tariffs go away, prices will stay the same given people are willing to pay for it. I suspect it will be like gas prices. Quick to go up, slooooow to go down.

Pro tip: if cursor is feeling amazing one day, and then stupid the next, switch the model off of Auto and try a specific model. For me the banger is Claude 4

I realized I could take it a step further. Told it to write a design guide based on this much better view. Wrote it all up in markdown for me, app wide style guide. I just now include it in every context prompt and… yeah. Insane.

Cursor really is bonkers. I started with a screenshot of a mobile app screen I was thinking of. It looked… well, better than what I could have done but as a user made me cringe. I told it to put on its expert UX hat and made it 1,000% better.

It’s seriously impressive what cursor can do when it takes your prompt and runs with it… like anticipating the next thing and adding aspects that you hadn’t thought about initially. Especially when it has access to the code of your full stack and takes into account the “other side” of the stack.

To be fair, the latest version of Cursor has gotten a LOT better due to it seeing linter errors and iterating on that (even raising the white flag recently for me saying I should check docs—less hallucinating). But times (sliver rarer now)when you chase the tail. I give it 2 lives now. Then Google.

Right now having some success using it as an interface against some internal APIs (discord bot). Finding myself using it more than Postman interface.

Cursor for the vibing. Expo for local iOS emulator dev (hot reload is pretty nice). Although haven’t been using expo for the iPhone standalone build (got a simple script for that + Xcode). Been focused on iOS first since I’ve got that, but plans to be cross platform.
