This is the key to unlocking Cursor in the design workflow. Give up on trying to create production-ready code. Just build something that works to communicate the intended functionality.

The code is just documentation for how the prototype works. Devs can translate to the right implementation. Plus, they'll get to feel smug about how bad the AI code is 🙃

My 2 cents is don't use an existing codebase. It's tempting so you can build from existing UIs. But it adds a ton of technical overhead and dependencies that you don't want for a design workflow.

I spin up a new project in Cursor for each new feature and tell it I'm building a front-end prototype so it keeps the technical complexity to a minimum.

I'm just trying to build something that works. I'll hand it to the engineers to figure out the actual implementation details 😄
