VIBE CODED PROMPTS
PROMPT 1
To this Next.js starter project, add Supabase Auth and Database with Tailwind v4 ONLY.
Pages:
/auth/login(email+password)/auth/signup(email+password)/auth/reset-password(request link)/app(protected area)
Behavior:
If NOT logged in, any visit to
/or any/app*route must redirect to/login.If logged in and visiting
/, redirect to/app./appshows exactly: "This page can only be seen by logged-in users."
Default logged-in page must have a sign out button
PROMPT 2
In this app, using the Supabase MCP server that is installed, create an ultra minimal database that will allow users to store tasks with three different statuses: pending, in progress, done. Then, create an ultra minimal UI that lets users create these new tasks and move them around in a Kanban-style board between these three statuses. Only logged in users should be able to do this, and only with their own notes. Keep it simple, but secure.
Final Thoughts
Simple Project Management proves that powerful task management doesn’t need to be complicated. By combining a clean Kanban interface with smart automation and modern web technologies, it delivers a fast, intuitive, and extensible productivity tool built for real-world workflows.
If you’re looking for a modern example of a full-stack Next.js application—or a task manager that actually keeps up with how you work—this project delivers on both fronts.
