The barrier between idea and execution has collapsed.
What used to take dev teams months now takes minutes. Everyone’s building with AI. Founders prototype products, marketers create tools, operators automate workflows.
But here’s the problem most platforms won’t tell you: you’re forced to choose between speed and quality.
You either get a working prototype that breaks the moment real users touch it, or you spend weeks wiring authentication, databases, and deployment infrastructure.
Rocket solves this by giving you both.
It’s a vibe solutioning platform that turns natural language into production-ready web apps.
Not prototypes that need “just a bit more work.” Actual apps with real architecture, working databases, and deployment options.
Let us show you exactly how this works by building something real (Right now, in this issue. Follow along!)
Why did we choose Rocket for this tutorial?
Most AI coding platforms generate code and leave you to figure out the rest.
Rocket gives you a complete system:
Templates: Battle-tested app starters so you don’t have to guess about structure. Fitness trackers, productivity tools, social apps; all with proven architecture. Our favourite part is that templates don’t cost tokens.
Frameworks: Choose your stack. Flutter for mobile and Next.js, React, HTML for web. The infrastructure decisions are made for you, so you can focus on your product.
Integrations: Supabase for databases, authentication flows, API connections. All pre-wired and ready. You don’t have to duct-tape systems together.
You go from idea to deployed app without touching infrastructure code.
Let’s build a simple calorie tracker to see how this works in reality.
Building a Calorie Tracker: Template to Live App
Step 1: Start with a proven template
Head to rocket.new/templates and search for “Calorie Tracker.”
Before you commit, click “Learn more” to see:
Every screen included
Full UI screenshots
How the app is structured
What features come pre-built
No guesswork. You know exactly what you’re getting.
Click Use template and it clones to your account instantly.
Step 2: Preview the UI
Switch to Preview mode and run through the app.
Complete the onboarding flow. Set a daily calorie goal. Navigate between screens. Add breakfast items. Check the history view.
We checked if navigation works and the UI is clean. Everything works!
You’re not looking at wireframes or mockups. This is a functioning app interface.
Step 3: Iterate with commands or prompts
Rocket.new has commands that let you make repeatable edits directly from chat. You can rename elements, fix layout spacing, generate assets, or restructure a page by targeting specific components or files.
This keeps iteration focused and fast.
For the app we’re building, we add a logo and refine spacing.
To add logo: Run /Update App Logo, attach your file, done.
To refine spacing: @pages/today.tsx reduce card radius to 12px and unify gap to 12px
The command targets specific components without breaking the rest of your app. Rocket lets you iterate fast without introducing bugs.
Step 4: Connect real infrastructure
Here’s where a prototype becomes a production-ready app.
Give the app a real backend.
Add a prompt to integrate Supabase for the database, along with auth
Click Connect to connect your Supabase account
Rocket will start making changes and will give you a script to push to Supabase
Click Push to Supabase to apply the scripts in your database
You should now be able to sign in, add foods, and see updates as items change.
History will start to fill as you log days.
Step 5: Test the full production flow
Return to Preview mode. But this time, everything’s connected.
Sign up with your email. Check whether authentication works to test real users and sessions.
Add breakfast items. Adjust quantities. Watch the calorie totals update in real-time.
Open the History view. Your logged meals persist. The weekly breakdown shows actual data from your Supabase database.
This isn’t a simulation anymore. You’re testing a production app.
Step 6: Launch
Click “Launch” to see your deployment options.
Download APK: Test locally on your Android device. Install it like any app from the Play Store.
Launch on Web: Deploy as a PWA (Progressive Web App) to share the link, allowing others to test.
You just went from template to deployed app.
What you just built
Let’s be clear about what just happened here.
Time investment: Minutes, not months.
What you got: Not a clickable prototype. A deployable app with:
Working user authentication
Database to sync data
Mobile-ready UI
Production architecture
Launch options for web and mobile
Your role changed: You weren’t wiring infrastructure or debugging database connections. You were making product decisions. Logo choice. UI refinements. Feature priorities.
That’s the shift Rocket creates.
You handle the vision. Rocket handles everything else.
Start building today
Head to rocket.new/templates and pick the template that matches your idea.
Or you can always start with your prompt.

Building is one thing. Scaling to $1M ARR is another.
We’re hosting a live webinar with Rocket’s Founder, Vishal Virani, on 13th November 2025.
Vishal grew Rocket to $4.5M in ARR in 4 months and sees AI-powered apps generating revenue day in and day out.
The value drive under 60 minutes is insane!
