Building a Fast, Efficient Web App: The Technology Stack of PromptSmithy Explained

1

Vite

We all know what React is at this point, but why use it with Vite and React Router DOM over something like NextJS?

v0.dev by Vercel Labs

For development of the UI components, we tried something new. Vercel has this new AI tool called v0.dev that allows developers to take advantage of shadcn/ui and Tailwind using nothing but words, which can then be easily downloaded to your local project using nothing but a simple npx command.

Supabase

Here the thing that accelerated my development the most: Supabase. Thanks to its Database, Authentication, and Edge Functions, we were able to rapidly develop the app. Their JS library made development super seamless, and their local development stack made testing a breeze.

Cloudflare Pages

On top of that, Vite’s compiler is super fast, supports Typescript (which we of course used), and built just fine on our host, which was Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare Pages is a super fast static website hosting service by Cloudflare, which allows your site to take advantage of their global CDN to make sure your site is as close to your users as possible. It supports nearly any JS framework you could want to use for your site, and can even host plan old HTML if you’re of that persuasion.

Mantine

While I have experience with Tailwind and frontend development, I don’t really have the patience to use it. I usually end up using something like Mantine, which is a complete component library UI kit, or Daisy UI, which is a component library built on top of Tailwind. Shadcn/ui is quite similar to Daisy in this sense, but being able to customize the individual components, since they get installed to your components folder, made development more streamlined and more customizable. On top of that being able to change my components style with natural language thanks to v0 made development super easy and fast. Shadcn may be too minimalist of a style for some, but thanks to all the components being local, you can customize them quickly and easily!
