I'm really enjoying using Cursor to enhance my code, but I've noticed that starting a new project feels a bit sluggish since I'm still doing a lot of manual work. Is there a way to simplify this process and get more scaffolding at the beginning?

If you switch to Agent mode in Cursor, it can really speed things up! Give that a try and see how it works for you. 😂
One approach might be to create a base GitHub repo that has your starting point, then clone that for each new project. Also, using agent mode in Cursor can really streamline the process. It's a great combo!
Another option is to use Claude Code. It might help you set up your project faster without having to write everything out from scratch.
Cursor is fantastic for refining your code, but it's not really designed for full project setups. I suggest starting with a template or a starter project and then using Cursor to enhance it as you develop.
I totally relate, as I had the same struggle. I found that using Solid to scaffold the entire app—covering everything from the database schema to authentication, front-end, and API—saved me a ton of time. Then, I just used Cursor in VS Code for fine-tuning later.
