INSIGHT

Vanilla Tech Stack Advantage

  • Fastable intentionally uses a vanilla stack: FastAPI, Python, React, Postgres and Docker.
  • That choice targets developers who want control and to avoid Supabase lock-in.
ADVICE

Create A Design Pre-Prompt

  • Use a pre-prompt design assistant to convert vague ideas into precise, reusable design docs before coding.
  • Keep a shared context document to move between conversations and avoid garbage-in prompts.
ANECDOTE

Project Import For Existing Code

  • Fastable can import an existing GitHub repo and convert it into the Fastable stack for iteration.
  • Richard built import to let users take Vibe-coded or legacy projects and continue in Fastable.
