Starting out on YouTube

Getting started on YouTube

In my first video I delve into something that has majorly influenced how I work. The Cursor AI IDE tool. It is an AI code assistant that outshines GitHub Copilot.

My aim is to show how you can use it to get more done in FlutterFlow. Especially, when my favourite Visual Development tool reaches its limits.

Why should I be using Cursor?

FlutterFlow is a great tool to get things done quickly. There are times, however, when the visual editor limits you in what you can do. This is why FlutterFlow introduced the ability to add custom code for functions, actions and widgets.

Now, if you do not know how to code, or you do not know Dart and Flutter (the underlying programming language and framework), this is not overly useful. You might not have the time to learn them for a pressing project you are working on. This is where Cursor comes in very handy. (Though I do recommend to learn the basics of Dart and Flutter. My favourite source:

A good FlutterFlow x Cursor workflow

Follow my steps in the video to get up and running quickly. Set up GitHub, export your code, generate what you need and bring it back into FlutterFlow. I will be publishing more videos in the future on the topic, so stay tuned.
