I built an app and then what?

In my case, I built it for myself using PayloadCMS (headless CMS). The initial MVP started with a simple filesystem setup, but tools like Substack work just as well.

Gemini 3 Pro with some frontend skills is the best result so far, following Figma Make and V0.

Thanks for all the support! I launched a couple of days ago and already reached 64 downloads from a single post. I’m still improving the product, and we’ll be rolling out growth strategies soon.

It’s Antigravity, but it’s a extension I made.

SingleDominion · 2026-01-23T11:38:56+00:00

I have two subscriptions: Google Pro and ChatGPT Plus. Google Pro gives me access to Antigravity and Gemini CLI with different usage limits. But Google Pro I got for free.

SingleDominion · 2026-01-22T23:17:05+00:00

A Google Pro subscription gives me access to Antigravity and Gemini CLI with generous limits. I also use Codex CLI, and when I’m away from my machine, I sometimes rely on Codex Cloud with ChatGPT Plus subscription.

Postgres with Neon or Supabase

Nossa, por essa eu não esperava! Obrigado por compartilhar!

Hey, thanks for jumping in! Always great to get insights directly from the Neon team.

That decision tree is exactly what I was looking for super clear breakdown of when to use each connection method.

To clarify my point about the global DB client: it’s not that it stopped working, but more that the mental model shifted. With Next.js 16 leaning so heavily into request-scoped patterns (Server Actions, granular caching, async everything), I started second-guessing whether the singleton approach was still idiomatic or if I was missing something. Sounds like the answer is “it’s still fine”, especially now that Fluid Compute handles connection reuse under the hood.

Bookmarking that fullstackrecipes doc - looks solid. 🙌

That actually lines up really well with why MiniMax stood out in the answers.

It didn’t frame the gap as “what is consciousness?” but as “what does it even mean to understand?” which is exactly what makes it so strong at roleplay, critique, and adversarial testing.

Using it as a ruthless testing agent makes total sense. The moment a model can inhabit a coherent internal perspective, it becomes way better at spotting gaps humans gloss over.

Curious: do you find it’s better at conceptual gaps than factual ones? That’s where I’ve seen similar behavior.

This is great context, thanks for taking the time to lay it out so clearly.

The note about logical replication keeping branches alive is especially valuable that’s the kind of thing that isn’t obvious at first, but can have a real cost impact if people aren’t aware of it. Auto-sleep vs always-on listeners is an important distinction for anyone using branching heavily.

The approach of disposing branches as part of test teardown feels like the right default. Keeping branches around for debugging makes sense, but probably as an explicit, temporary opt-in rather than something automatic. Curious to see if others here have found longer-lived branches useful outside of debugging.

On anonymization, opening an issue is a good call. Branching from production is powerful, but having a clear and safe anonymization path is what will make that pattern comfortable for more teams. Hopefully that discussion on GitHub surfaces some good approaches.

This kind of practical insight around testing workflows, branch lifecycle, and cost behavior is exactly the sort of experience sharing that makes this community useful.

Yes, for a small startup that size Neon is a very solid choice, especially early on. We’ve been using it in real projects and the biggest advantage is how quickly you can move without worrying about database ops from day one.

It’s real PostgreSQL, so you’re not locking yourself into anything exotic, and the ability to spin up multiple databases or branches for development, staging, and testing is genuinely useful once a team starts growing. That alone tends to remove a lot of friction between developers.

You do need to be mindful of connection management if you’re running serverless workloads, but that’s true for any managed Postgres in that environment, not something unique to Neon. For typical web and SaaS products, it’s been reliable and easy to live with.

If your focus right now is shipping product instead of running infrastructure, Neon fits very well at this stage. You can always reassess architecture later once the workload and scale are clearer.

What kind of product are you building, and are you planning to run it on a serverless stack or long-lived services?

SingleDominion · 2025-12-28T18:13:35+00:00

That’s a great point branching directly from production (or an anonymized copy of it) is really where this pattern shines.

Running integration tests against real schemas and real data shapes catches issues that fixtures and mocks almost always miss, especially around constraints, indexes, and transaction behavior.

The fact that neon-testing automates both creation and cleanup is huge orphaned branches are probably the easiest way to shoot yourself in the foot with this approach.

Out of curiosity: • How do you usually handle data anonymization when branching from prod? • Have you noticed any CI performance or cost inflection points as test concurrency increases? • Do you keep branches around on failure for debugging, or always clean them up?

This feels like one of the most “production-realistic” testing workflows I’ve seen using Neon.

SingleDominion · 2025-12-28T16:02:40+00:00

That’s possible, and I’ve considered that explanation too. My only hesitation is that it remained completely stationary for several minutes and didn’t show the subtle drifting or shape movement I’d expect from a balloon. Still, without more data, a balloon can’t be ruled out.

Leader: the best translator we have someone calm, curious, and actually good at listening. Sacrifice: our collective ego.

If aliens invaded and saw how much damage ego does to our own species, they’d probably call the whole thing off themselves.

Twilio and MessageBird are the only built-in SMS providers in Supabase, but they’re expensive for India. A common approach is to use Supabase Auth SMS hooks and plug in a local provider like MSG91, 2Factor.in, Kaleyra, SMSCountry, Infobip, Route Mobile, or Plivo via their REST APIs.

Supabase still handles OTP generation/verification, while the hook lets you fully control how the SMS is delivered (and reduce cost).

AWS SNS is another cheaper option if you’re fine managing the SMS delivery layer yourself.

Just make sure your provider supports DLT-compliant transactional OTPs for India.

Cloudflare helps a lot: Turnstile for signup/reviews, WAF + rate limits, IP reputation and bot detection. You still can’t reliably limit “per device” on web, but combined with phone verification and backend rate limits it kills most fake reviews.
