PRD & Technical Stack + Development Plan - Gemini/Claude

Preferred Technical Stack (Roughly): - Next.js + Typescript (Framework & Language) - PostgreSQL (Supabase) - TailwindCSS (Front-End Bootstrapping) - Resend (Email Automation) - Upstash Redis (Rate Limiting) - reCAPTCHA (Simple Bot Protection) - Google Analytics (Traffic Analysis) - Github (Version Control) - Vercel (Deployment & Domain)

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: u/Reddit @hackernews @devhunt_ @FazierHQ @BetaList @Peerlist dailypings @IndieHackers @tinylaunch @ProductHunt @MicroLaunchHQ @UneedLists @X

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. - Be humble and kind. Look at feedback as something useful and admit you make mistakes. - Do not get distracted by negativity, you are your own worst enemy and best friend.

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… Docs & Notes - Markdown format for LLM use and readability Markdown to PDF Converter - https://md-to-pdf.fly.dev 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 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. - Build something that is 'useful', do not build something that is 'impressive'. - Stop scrolling on twitter/reddit and go build something you want to build and build it how you want to build it, that makes it original doesn't it?
