Using Cursor for learning new things

As a designer who builds my own ideas, it’s a must to understand the basics of CSS so you can optimize the final products.

If you have tried using AI to build your ideas, you would see that the output is very generic and similar to other apps. And there are many small details that look bad. I’m sure your natural designer sense won’t make you happy. We need more padding, buttons need to be smaller, the card doesn’t need a border,…

You can ask AI to adjust it, but you need to be very specific.

The other way is to understand what they are and what options are. So we can learn from it.

I’m new to TailwindCSS. It’s the best CSS/HTML framework. I’m not familiar with it. But I want to learn so I can optimize my product. Whenever I find something new, I ask Cursor what they are and what options are. Cursor will explain it clearly and give us an example.

I found that’s the best way to learn. I guess “learn while doing” is like that?
