mini apps are the perfect way for people that dont know how to code to figure out their first steps

where are you stuck?

some recommendations:

1) dont use vercel or nextjs. start your apps as simple react apps (use vite) and learn how to think in terms of components. lego blocks. you need to learn how to place them next to each other working as you want them to work. deploy on /orbiter

2) test in production. deploying a smart contract on base costs 0.2 usd. or maybe less. it has been way better for me to just deploy the V0 of the contract and plug it to the mini app and then figure out the rest of its iterating for next versions

3) ask questions on the feed. the more details the better. we used to use stack overflow for answering programming questions. you learned how to code by googling your problem and finding the SO article associated with it. now with LLMs and active people on the feed its much closer to just ask. i like when people ask things. and they dont do it enough imho

4) be very curious
