40. SlateLabs

Preview of SlateLabs

Description

Built for anyone who wants a community forum and none of the setup that usually comes with one. SlateLabs leans experimental — plenty of room, very little chrome — and everything on screen is something you can act on.

  • Loads in under a second on a cold cache
  • Dark and light, following the system
  • No accounts, no cookies, nothing stored server-side

v0 and Supabase did most of the lifting. I wrote the schema by hand and let the generated components follow it rather than the other way round.

Still rough: the mobile layout works but has not been designed, and I know it.

Workflow

  1. Generated the first pass in v0

    Kept the prompts in the repo next to what they produced, so a regeneration six months later starts from the same place.
