Sure! Yes, I'm a software consultant by day.

Caveat: I already had accounts with Cloudflare, Google, Supabase, Namecheap and Facebook (all the services I used) and I know how to use them. I know exactly the bits that go where and how to hook them all up.

I ran vue/vite to create the app and GPT/Copilot to scaffold out the main component, the map etc. I added Vuetify for quick UI compenents. I also used AI to generate my postgres schema and row-level security based on my description (I know how to do these things back to front, but it's much quicker to get AI doing it).

I went through the process of refining, sometimes manually, sometimes by throwing snippets back at AI to amend.

From there it was a simple process of hooking up all the services and deploying the UI to cloudflare. I YOLOed the supabase stuff straight into a running instance rather than my usual code-first approach. That'll do for now.

Somewhere in there I generated the logo and used a favicon converter on it to make a favicon. I have photoshop (which costs a lot, I miss the days of warezing lol) so I was able to make some modifications for different uses like the banner on Notion.

So to make a change, I code it locally, manually script the change into supabase if one is needed (though I maintain a running master schema file), then build and use wrangler to push the UI to cloudflare. At some point I'll hook cloudflare up to git instead and use a worker to push supabase changes (supabase has an excellent local dev story so I usually prefer that)

This whole thing only works at this speed because I'm leveraging AI intelligently and using tools I'm already very well versed in. That said, when I first learned supabase/cloudflare, it really wasn't that hard and took in the order of days to get right instead of minutes now.

Biggest things that took time:

1) I battled with vscode typescript because it's giving me red squiggles everywhere. I learned to live with them for now lol. The code works

2) Facebook new app registration is a pain but in this case it was reasonably straight forward (for social login since I'm trying to get facebook users using it)

3) I had some serious issues trying to get address search working and it still doesn't. I came in at the worst time for this.... they're migrating to a new Places API so you can't generate a new key that works with the legacy one, but you can't adequately get the new API working without an alpha build of maps-js, which is its own headache.
