3.download the code, open it in cursor or windsurf, and refine it
4.deploy your app on netlify or vercel (free for small projects)

windsurf
cursor’s cheaper rival with some twists. works locally, edits multiple files at once, and recently added mcp (model context protocol) for llm to directly handle dbs, servers, and files. downside: no doc support
November 29, 2024 at 11:03 PM
cursor
not a browser tool—this is a full ide for coding with natural language. tell it what to build or change, and it writes the code. great for frontend, backend, api integrations, and docs lookups. my main dev tool, but it assumes you know your project structure
