Monthly App Build

🔁 Approach

• Start with a clear constraint: 1 idea → 1 month → 1 usable product

• Keep the stack lean: typically Supabase, React Native or Framer, and open-source APIs or LLMs

• Prioritize function over polish, but always ship

• Log challenges, learnings, and reflection at the end of each cycle

🧱 Core Build Practices

1. Fast Validation

• Most apps are born from personal pain points or repeated client problems

• Validate with a simple landing page, Discord post, or 1:1 user DM

2. Minimal Feature Set

• Focus on a single user flow — no bloat

• Use Notion or pen & paper to sketch flow before touching code

3. Rapid Dev Stack

• Supabase: auth, database, RLS

• React Native / Framer: frontend in days, not weeks

• LangChain or local LLMs (if AI is involved)

4. Weekly Checkpoints

• Week 1: Idea + validation

• Week 2–3: Core build + design

• Week 4: Testing + launch + feedback loop

🧰 Tools & Tech Used

• Supabase – database, auth, and serverless functions

• Framer / React Native – frontend builds

• OpenAI / Ollama – LLM integrations

• Notion / Figma – ideation + flow mapping

• Stripe (where needed) – for monetization

• Vercel / Expo – for fast deployment

📦 Sample Projects (so far)
