Can v0 be used for more than prototypes?
The boundary between a quick start and a product that must be maintained.
The boundary between a quick start and a product that must be maintained.
I use it for prototypes and interfaces when validating an idea quickly matters more than perfect first-pass code.
What works in practice
- Decide what should survive the prototype.
- Inspect dependencies and component structure.
- Separate data and business logic from visual iteration.
- Do not carry temporary decisions into production by inertia.
Where the boundary is
A prototype becomes a product not when it looks polished, but when data, failure states, and maintenance matter.
The short conclusion
v0 earns its place when it shortens the path to a verified result while keeping responsibility visible.
