How is your App coming along - ready to share anything?
Good tips, thanks. Where is the option to show credits usage? I had found it once, but not anymore!
been using v0 for maybe 3 weeks?!
a bit of learning, but mainly working on one app. it’s a goal management app i have been wanting to build for a long time, but had no real experience coding - basic front end and graphic design.
It uses AI to generate to do lists for goals you input. most of the features are built and working - checkin/checkout, progress indicators, drag and drop, focus timer, import/export goal list, cloud sync, swipe navigation, working user accounts, “brain-dump” notes to goal conversion. Even got it to setup the APK requirements so I can run a few commands locally and I have an APK file I can install on my phone. pretty amazing for basically two weeks work part time.
there’s a delete button that only appear on hover. i usually just copy the text, delete, paste the text in, edit to hopefully avoid the issues that caused the need to delete.
you need to create a new branch that isn’t “main”. you will get a new domain for each fork (or is it each time you publish?!)
I need to rely on github for backups due to chats completely getting nuked by bugs.
Implementation plans are critical for getting complex features implemented without chewing up credits on error fixing. I spend more time planning changes than trying to implement them.
Sometimes a big plan can be averted by just asking “is there a simpler way to do this?”
Great idea for an app!
it’s a hassle to find new music from friends. they just send me their playlists and it’s a total mess.
That’s excellent, amazing what can be achieved in a short time with the right approaches!
I never would have seen the delete icon, the UI needs a tidy up, version control etc so it’s all more accessible / discoverable. And each prompt should show the amount credits used.
Have you enabled email from your App - it does not work with V0 out of the box?
I presume your App is using a database? I’ve found Neon / Postgrsql to be excellent.
What did you do to get AI to generate the todo lists ?
Any tips on building the implementation plans / PRDs - using AI of course?
Are you using an IDE for code debugging etc (e.g: Cursor) ? Native integration / debugging is a must.
Yep - email works no problem. it’s just that you can’t do email verification when the domain.
supabase. investigating neon - not sure what the differences are.
It’s just a prompt that goes to the AI via an API. Details on the goal are passed into the prompt.
I ask it to come up with a plan and put the plan into feature-name-context.md Then I get it to look at the plan it just made and work out what’s most likely to break existing features, how to mitigate these, how to stage the implementation to assist debugging. then update it’s plan. if it looks too complicated (eg 7 phases) i get it to simplify to 3 or 4 stages. Need to personally read over the plan and make sure it doesn’t add features you don’t need - sometimes it makes obvious mistakes.
I don’t use an IDE - too complicated for me. Just use v0 for debugging.
Looks like you’re very much on the ball with Context Engineering - I just found this: GitHub - coleam00/context-engineering-intro: Context engineering is the new vibe coding - it's the way to actually make AI coding assistants work. Claude Code is the best for this so that's what this repo is centered around, but you can apply this strategy with any AI coding assistant!
Did you develop your implementation plans using Claude, V0 or chatgpt?
How did you get email working? Were you implying it works out of the box, but not within Vecel test env? My env came up with a Nodemailer runtime error. I may look at email extensions to Postgresql, which has many capabilities.
It seems Neon is more DB focused and Supabase more back end as a service.
thanks

I have only used v0 for code implementation. it wouldn’t really work without all the context.
no idea. it just worked. I think it’s coming from supabase as there are some default settings in there I can change re new user signup emails. etc
It worked in sending the email to new users, but for email confirmation the link the user needs to click on needs to be connected to the URL of the website. as the url of the preview websites keeps changing it’s a bit of a hassle to keep updating this - so I just turned off email verfication in the supabase new user settings.
