For Cursor & AI-IDE users

Shipboard generates the foundation. Cursor finishes the product.

Shipboard is an AI compiler for developers. Chat an idea → production React + Tailwind + TypeScript, live preview, BYOB Postgres, one-click GitHub. Eject real Next.js — finish in Cursor. This page is for developers who live in Cursor and want high-quality Next.js eject — not another closed playground.

Recommended workflow

  1. 1Open Shipboard studio and pick a golden path (Admin Users, Auth, Kanban) or free-form prompt.
  2. 2Optional: Settings → Database — connect Neon/Supabase for BYOB schema + Drizzle eject.
  3. 3Iterate in chat; use the Changes tab to see exactly what the last prompt did.
  4. 4When Ready to ship, Push to GitHub (or ZIP).
  5. 5In Cursor: clone the repo, cp .env.example .env.local, set DATABASE_URL if needed, npm i && npm run dev.
  6. 6Ask Cursor to extend Server Actions, tests, Stripe, or design polish — layout is normal Next.js.

After eject

git clone <your-repo>
cd <repo>
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# DATABASE_URL=… if BYOB
cursor .
npm run dev

What Shipboard owns vs Cursor

  • Shipboard: scaffolding, production-dialect UI, BYOB actions, ship readiness, GitHub push
  • Cursor: multi-file agent edits, tests, domain logic, integrations, PR workflows
  • You own the repo — no proprietary runtime lock-in
