@vercel_support are deployments in the dashboard down again? I see on your status page that "Elevated Errors Loading Deployments on Dashboard" was resolved yesterday but I'm still seeing the issue.

Most users are requesting the native mobile apps which are coming along nicely 👇.

It feels like a huge waste going hard on marketing with only a web app, but maybe that's dumb?

I started "vibe" porting this app to @reactnative/@expo. I tried twice, once with Claude Code, and once with Cursor + GPT-5. Both started out strong, but the further into the port they got the more broken things became and eventually went down unrecoverable rabbit holes. Even going task-by-task with a PRD.

I think vibe-coding works well with smaller projects, but starts to fall apart on larger codebases.

Now I'm back to manually building the app for full control, mixed with vibe-porting components one-by-one. That seems to be a mix that works well.

[The Clothing App @theclothingappp]

Finally getting close to launching this thing. Taking some time off from contract work did the trick.

@tomorrowevening Congrats!

When I run `create extension index_advisor` I keep getting `ERROR: 3F000: schema "pgtle" does not exist`. Any idea how to resolve?
