Hello guys, this is my approach on how i setup and create my projects to being able to download the zip and not fail in the process of importing it.
this is how i start each project.
Create a new project using
add custom instruction to this new project
This project follows a scalable architecture based on v0.dev with the following considerations:
1. Heavy multimedia content should be handled via blobs to avoid local deployment issues.
If using large `.mp4` files, consider embedding via Vimeo (it provides a solid and user-friendly iframe interface).
2. Database connections can be made through direct SQL or external integrations, depending on the project’s scope.
Think in terms of common use cases like login systems, admin dashboards, or data storage.
3. This folder can include custom instructions or `.md` files to serve as internal technical documentation.
Keeping things clear is key for future forks or collaborators.
4. Key recommendation: start internationalization early. Use `i18next` alongside `shadcn/ui` to implement a language selector dropdown,
allowing multilingual pages to be created from the beginning.
This prompt helps maintain clear project context and scalability, keeping both local development and external handoffs in mind.
This as worked flawlessly on my projects, allowing internationalization.
After working in ur project, if u need to deploy it locally. U can simply download the zip
u decompress it and go to cursor,visual studio or wev application ur are using and just open a project folder
u open the folder and it should look like this
u should go open a terminal and time npm install --force (using force to skip any problem)
after that the project should have the node modules installed
you can go and do npm run dev to start the localhost and it should run without any problems as u were looking on the preview page in v0.dev
to upload a zip to v0.dev and not get the error of max size for a project.
u have to zip the project without the modules mark in the photo
this is how i approach working locally and on v0 at the same time while two-way sync is not implemented yet.
I’ve already shared this around in different threads.
