I created an MVP in two days with Cursor and Supabase, no BS
I've challenged myself to go from zero to MVP in forty-eight hours last weekend using Cursor as my AI coding assistant and Supabase as the backend service. It resulted in a live habit tracker that currently has twenty-three beta users, and I would like to talk about what actually worked and what did not work for me.
First of all, Cursor's autocomplete functionality really helped me save some time when I had to write boilerplate code. I simply described in English what I needed to get, and in most cases (about eighty percent), I got the fully functional React components. The rest twenty percent needed additional debugging, but it was much easier since Cursor could highlight the problem in the code.
Authentication, database, and real-time subscription services of Supabase made my life easy and fast. In less than thirty minutes, everything was set up and working. However, row-level security needed a little bit more time since I didn't know how to do it at first. Nevertheless, the documentation gave me clear instructions.
The problems appeared when I tried to deploy the app. It was challenging to connect Supabase to Vercel.
