Cursor + Claude has been a game changer

I’ve been a software engineer for 6+ years now, working at FAANG, and now building mobile apps on the side thanks to Cursor.

My first iOS application took me still 2-3 months to complete, mostly due to not having the design down, changing things constantly, adding features etc . However my second application has taken me just 14 days to get the MVP ready, with a fully capable front-end, core features, supabase backend, LLM integration, notifications etc.

I’m making final changes to it and then preparing App Store screenshots to get the v 1.0.0 launched in the App Store, hopefully by end of next week.

It’s insane how fast you can build now with these tools. This would have taken me months previously to try to build on my own, and now it’s taken just 14 days (on top of working a 9-5).
