  • Trying to recreate iOS screen using:
    • DesignCode Figma Plugin
    • Codia AI
  • Personally I found that micro adjustments (yes wasting token) give me more progress than trying to one-shot everything in one go. When it comes to specific UI pattern or flow that I want to achieve.

Cursor

  • First time i used inline chat to highlight code snippets. It feels surgical in nature but in truth of course I might surgically messed up the code.
  • There are 3 options; edit highlighted code, full file and chat. I started in that order and ended up using more of the chat to understand better. Then move back to right panel Cursor chat window.
  • Also, my first time using Firecrawl MCP to download Apple Documentations locally especially on Liquid Glass. Somehow Cursor @Web thought iOS26 was imaginary (I wished screenshotted the replies).
