How It All Works Together

The Process

  1. Start by creating dashboard prototypes in v0.dev to visualize your ideas
  2. Use Cursor to add security features and build back-end functionality
    • Connect to a Database to store and retrieve your application data
    • Implement Authentication to secure user access and protect sensitive information
  3. Save your code to GitHub to keep track of changes
  4. Deploy your website with Vercel so everyone can see it

Benefits

  • Visualization: See your dashboard before building it
  • Security: Protect your data and users with proper measures
  • Functionality: Create powerful back-end systems
  • Data Storage: Organize and persist information in databases
  • User Management: Control access with authentication systems
  • Collaboration: Work with others using GitHub
  • Sharing: Make your projects available to everyone
