Zero to Deployed in a Weekend

There's something clarifying about a 48-hour shipping constraint. Every architectural debate becomes: 'does this help us ship by Sunday?' Often the answer is no, and you move on.

We've refined a go-to stack over several weekend projects: Next.js, Tailwind, Postgres on Supabase, deployed to Vercel. It's boring by design. Boring means fast. Fast means shipped.

This post walks through the exact process we follow, the decisions we've already made so we don't have to make them under pressure, and the traps that cost beginners hours. The best preparation for a weekend project is doing it before the weekend starts.
