A guide for implementing desktop notifications in Cursor IDE to alert users when Composer tasks complete on macOS. The solution involves adding a custom cursor rule and enabling yolo mode in settings, providing a practical way to stay informed of task completion without actively monitoring the process.
Create a Cursor IDE rule that triggers desktop notifications when Composer tasks complete: - Notification should include task-specific title and message - Rule must work with Composer in agent mode - Implementation should handle task completion status - Consider adding error state notifications - Target platform: macOS
Implement desktop notifications for long-running tasks to avoid manual monitoring
Use custom titles and messages in notifications to provide context-specific information
Don't repeatedly check Composer task status manually
A user shares a workflow for using Deepseek-R1 to perform automated code reviews before committing changes, with subsequent refinement using Claude. The approach leverages Cursor's @Diff of Working State feature to analyze pending changes, simulating a senior engineer's code review perspective.
Discussion about integrating Cursor AI with a custom ticket-to-pull request workflow. The post appears to focus on developer productivity tooling and automation of development workflows using AI assistance.
A developer shares their frustrating experience with Cursor AI, where the majority of development time (5.5 out of 6 hours) was spent correcting the AI's mistakes and dealing with unresponsive behavior. The post highlights current limitations of AI-assisted coding tools and suggests they aren't yet mature enough for efficient development.
A developer seeking alternatives to the Cursor code editor after using it for app development with Claude Sonnet for nearly a year. The user expresses satisfaction with their current workflow but is interested in exploring potentially better AI-powered development tools or agents given the rapid pace of advancement in the space.
A critical discussion about the misuse and misunderstanding of the Cursor AI coding assistant. The post emphasizes that users should treat Cursor as a helpful tool rather than a complete replacement for human developers, drawing an analogy to calculator usage.
