Making sites and apps
Find a stack you like
Mine is Convex, Better Auth, and Next.js.
Pick a set of tools you enjoy using and tell the agent about them up front. My stack is Convex, Better Auth, and Next.js. Having familiar tools makes it easier to understand the result and keep working on it later.
Write those preferences into the project instructions so you do not have to repeat them every time. Give the agent room to explain when a particular app needs something different, but make the starting point explicit.
Try it
- Choose the tools you want to use for the app.
- Tell the agent your choices before it scaffolds the project.
- Record the setup and conventions so future work stays consistent.
