Before We Start
5 minutes — A quick conversation, not a lecture
What We're Building Today
| You'll Build | Using |
|---|---|
| User registration & login | Firebase Auth |
| Your own private feature | React + Firestore |
| Deployed to a live URL | Firebase Hosting |
End result: A real web app you can show anyone, running on the internet.
Pick Your Feature
You'll build authentication plus one of these — your choice:
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Notes | Create, edit, delete private notes |
| Tasks | A todo list with checkboxes |
| Bookmarks | Save and organize links |
All three are similar complexity. Pick what sounds most useful to you.
Your choice: ________________
Ground Rules
You drive. You type the code, make decisions, and ask questions. I navigate and keep us on track.
AI helps, but you understand. Claude Code generates code; you make sure you know what it does before using it.
Working beats perfect. We're shipping something real, not polishing forever.
Questions are good. If something doesn't make sense, stop me.
Quick Vibe Check
Before we dive in:
- Any previous experience with React, TypeScript, or Firebase? (It's fine if not)
- Anything specific you want to make sure we cover?
- Any time constraints I should know about?
Ready? Let's set up your environment.
