Hey everyone
I ve been building products for a long time (15+ years), and I recently tried using v0.dev for the first time. Honestly didn t expect much, but I was surprised how quickly I got something real off the ground - not just a playground UI, but a fully working fitness app with protected routes, dashboards, flow logic, the works.
It s called The HIIT PIT and it s live, but that s not why I m posting.
I m more curious to hear from other devs and indie makers:
Vercel is hosting its first-ever global Next.js hackathon, with credits from 25+ partners including @Anthropic @Bucket @Clerk @Cursor @ElevenLabs @Resend @Supabase...
Anyone here joining? What are you building?
From the creators of Next.js, the Flags SDK is a free open-source library for implementing feature flags and A/B tests in your applications. Works with any flag provider or custom setup. Compatible with App Router, Pages Router, and Middleware.
It needed to be said. The onboarding sucks big time. Another misleading Sign up to join the waitlist. Shame on you for using black pattern to collect users. Not a good start!
The look of UI is good but React code is horrible. It doesn't utilize components and jsx maps, lots of repetition and junk. You basically need to rewrite everything to be production-viable.
Vercel cloud is a game changer for quick product validation and development. It provides plug-and-play deployment pipeliens for any Next.js project with sensible defaults. Things like automatic deployments, environment variables and deployment protection work out of the box without any tedious configuration. I recommend Vercel wholeheartedly for any solo developer or indie hacker.
Update: After a few days of using, I think if v0 can build up a serie of pages based on one common theme generated by AI, that would be awesome. For now, I have to adjust every page generated into a similar looking preference, not auto enough. --- This can be useful for a side project's starting up. But, you can not get everything you want. e.g., prompt with "An AI styled login page". You'll just get yourself a trival one rather that a login page with amusing artifacts. Pros: Easily provide neat designs without looking for a designer. (This overkills the Cons, 10 out of 10!) Cons: Sometimes it just won't provide what you want. Also, it has UI dependencies, which may be bad if you have a specific UI preference. Plus, free users' production is public unless you pay.
Vercel is a very dynamic tool which is very very useful to power of the front and the back end of the application it is just way ahead then other application it is very handy to build the web apps through it.
