Starter prompt

Paste this into Replit as your first message. It has not been used in a test build.

Prompt · Replit51 words
Build a web app with email sign-in, a page where signed-in users can create, edit and delete their own items, a Stripe Checkout button for a paid upgrade, and an email receipt after payment. Use Replit's built-in database and auth. Keep all secret keys in Replit Secrets, never in client code.

Security check

Gotchas

  • Connectors such as Stripe need the Core plan (Replit docs).
  • Starter's one free published app goes down after 30 days.
