Build Your Product

If your goal is to turn the starter into your product fast, keep the work in this order:

1. set up the marketing site
2. wire auth, database, and payments
3. implement the first protected UX
4. test the full buyer journey
5. ship live

Why this order matters

If you start by rewriting checkout or auth, you can spend hours breaking the only part of the app that actually turns a buyer into a signed-in user with granted access.

If you start with the obvious product surfaces first, you get a product-shaped app quickly while the paid-access contract stays intact.

The working rules

• Keep the public offer and the protected product language aligned.
• Work one screen or one flow at a time.
• Add data model support only when the screen actually needs it.
• Use browser QA after each meaningful slice, not just at the end.
• Keep checkout, webhook, success-page, and access-recovery logic stable until the rest of the app already looks like your product.

What success looks like

You are using the starter correctly when:

• the app feels like your product before you touch the fragile handoff code
• the first protected flow is real, not placeholder content
• the buyer journey is tested end to end before launch
