Sound familiar?
You're not alone. This is where everyone gets stuck.
AI built your app but you have no idea how to get it on the internet
GitHub, Vercel, Supabase — these words mean nothing to you yet
You've hit a cryptic build error and spent 3 hours going nowhere
Nobody has ever explained what a .env file actually is
Your app only runs on your laptop — not in the real world
Deployment has already killed two of your app ideas
None of this is your fault. The tools changed, but the guides didn't catch up. Until now.
