v0 → production
v0 to Production
Short answer
v0 (and similar UI generators) should feed a designed Next.js app — not become the app. Production is your data model, auth, and deploy. v0 is the first draft of the screens.
What “v0 to production” means
Copying or adapting generated React/Tailwind into a repo with routing, server data, and tests — then throwing away the parts that only existed to look done.
v0 output vs product
| Artifact | v0 | Production app |
|---|---|---|
| Screens | High-fidelity React | Same, plus empty/error states |
| Data | Mock arrays | Server-fetched, authorized |
| State | Local / fake | URL + server state |
| A11y | Hit or miss | Keyboard, labels, contrast |
Use v0 as a design accelerator
It is closer to a smarter Figma-to-code than to an agency. That is useful. Wire the screens into App Router, load real data, and stop generating new pages for every tweak.
Do not let generated UI dictate the schema
v0 will invent fields to fill a table. Your product should invent the table. Write the domain first (users, orgs, jobs), then attach UI.
FAQ
Can I deploy a v0 project as my MVP?
Only if you add real auth, data, and hosting yourself. The generated UI is not the product.

v0 screens, no backend yet?
That’s a normal starting point. We can turn the flows into a Next.js + Supabase product — or tell you what to do in-house first.
