Tools in our setup

Suggested in the setup steps below; not named in the source.

SupabaseCursorExpoStripeGitHub

Cost: Expo Free plan, Supabase Free, GitHub Free. App store developer accounts cost extra (see Apple and Google).

Set it up

  1. Scope it

    Turn my app idea into an MVP: 3 screens, the data model, and what's out of scope for v1.

  2. Create the Expo app

    Create a new Expo app with TypeScript and Expo Router, set up the 3 screens, and show me how to run it on my phone with Expo Go.

    Docs: docs.expo.dev/get-started/create-a-project/

  3. Add Supabase

    Add Supabase auth (email) and the tables with RLS. Use EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL and EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY; never put the service role key in the app.

  4. Build for testers

    Set up EAS Build and create internal test builds for iOS and Android. List the accounts and credentials I need.

    Docs: docs.expo.dev/build/setup/

  5. Polish for review

    Check the app against store review basics: privacy policy link, account deletion, loading/error states, and permission prompts with clear reasons.

Copy the full setup prompt

Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Please:
1. Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like).
2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure.
3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data.
4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.
