Building an app got dramatically easier. Getting one person who is not you to use it did not. These are the guides for people who shipped something with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, Base44 or Cursor and cannot work out why nobody is finding it.

v0 produces Next.js on Vercel, which means server rendering and a proper metadata API for free. The trap is that adding 'use client' to a page silently disables its metadata, with no error and no warning.
