Ask DP: This is how I build & launch (using AI & Other Tools), need opinions from like-minded people.

Ideation - Become an original person & research competition briefly PRD & Technical Stack + Development Plan - Gemini/Claude Preferred Technical Stack: - Next.js + Typescript - PostgreSQL - TailwindCSS - Resend - Upstash Redis - reCAPTCHA - Google Analytics - Github - Vercel Most of the above have generous free tiers, upgrade to paid plans when scaling the product. Prototyping (Optional) - Firebase Studio Rapid Development Towards MVP - Cursor (Pro Plan - 20$/month) Testing & Validation Plan - Gemini 2.5 Launch Platforms: Reddit Hackernews devhunt FazierHQ BetaList Peerlist dailypings IndieHackers tinylaunch ProductHunt MicroLaunchHQ UneedLists Twitter Launch Philosophy: - Don't beg for interaction, build something good and attract users organically. - Do not overlook the importance of launching properly. - Use all of the tools available to make launch easy and fast, but be creative. Additional Resources & Tools: Git Code Exporter (Creates a context package for code analysis or providing input to language models) - https://github.com/TechNomadCode/Git-Source-Code-Consolidator Simple File Exporter (Simpler alternative to Git-based consolidation, useful when you only need to package files from a single, flat directory) - https://github.com/TechNomadCode/Simple-File-Consolidator Effective Prompting Guide - https://promptquick.ai/ Cursor Rules - https://github.com/PatrickJS/awesome-cursorrules LateX @overleaf - For PDF/Formal Documents Audio/Video Downloader - https://cobalt.tools (Re)search tool - https://perplexity.ai/ Final Notes: - Refactor your codebase when needed as you build towards an MVP if you are using AI assistance for coding. (Keep seperation of concerns intact across smaller files for maintainability) - Success does not come overnight and expect failures along the way. - When working towards an MVP, do not be afraid to pivot. Do not spend too much time on a single product. Thanks to levelsio for inspiring me.
