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

Not an engineer.. going to give this a whirl to try to get a mini app up this week

Definitely want to prove out the vision on FC here first :)

Thanks for following up here! I’ve got another day or two next week set aside to work some more on it (and will likely take @jc4p class as I’m kinda flailing in the dark) — a lot of my initial go at it was just testing v0, Replit, Cursor and the like (and downloading VS code!)
