What they did
Downloaded Quittr and screenshotted each screen to see how users move from screen 1 to 2 to 3, then prompted Cursor per screen: 'Please make the same screen with the same visual elements, with the same color, with the same image.' Made an exact copy of the onboarding because it was so good, then changed colors and niche content. Playbook version: download all of an app's screenshots in one click from sites like Mobbin or screensdesign, import the JPEGs into Figma with a plugin (about 80% of screens come out near perfect), connect Figma MCP to Cursor (cuts his 1-month MVP to about 2 weeks), and use Firebase if a backend/auth is needed.

In their words
Starter Story · I found a successful app, made it 1% different, and now make $12K/month (STOPPR)“And then when I downloaded the Quitter app, I was very pleased by their onboarding. And I did one exact copy of their onboarding because it was so good.”
“So I was prompting Cursor, "Please make the same screen with the same visual elements, with the same color, with the same image."”
“So use a Figma plugin to import all those JPEG screenshot in Figma. You are going to see some discrepancies here and there, but for 80% of all the screen, that's near perfect.”
