My setup for vibe coding a Farcaster mini app

1.  set up github project repository
2. use v0 to build out a frontend
3. use cursor or claude code to build out rest of app (personally found claude code to be better). include the llms.txt from farcaster as context (makes it easier for AI to read)
4. set up a database if need to store data (e.g. storing user scores in a game). I used neon with vercel since easy integration
5. deploy to vercel
6. set up farcaster specific features like a manifest and embed
7. once deployed, use ngrok to test mini app locally so not testing new features live with users

I'm mostly doing the same. usually setting up a DB with supabase, they have solid postgres plus auth, storage and realtime.

I'm doing points 1, 2, 5, and 6 for users in at @vibesengineering.eth out of the box. can hopefully add a reliable db setup for everyone too
