Using v0 on an existing codebase? Read this first
v0 is excellent at generating UI. On an existing project, every change becomes a pull request and the stack is the Vercel one. MakeThemCode takes a different approach for non-developers.

What to expect with v0 on an existing project
Built around its own stack
v0 works best with React, Next.js and Vercel. Other stacks are harder to run as they are.
A pull request for every change
Each change goes through a pull request, even a typo. Someone has to review and merge it.
Made for builders
The workflow assumes you are comfortable with code, branches and previews on Vercel.
How does it work?
No install, no terminal. Everything in your browser, on your phone, laptop, tablet.

How MakeThemCode differs
Made for the non-developers on an existing project.
Any stack that runs in Docker
The sandbox is built from your repository: Next.js, Astro, Rails, Django or anything else with a dev server.
Direct small changes, review where it matters
Developers mark files as allowed, requiring review or forbidden. Copy changes can be merged directly, sensitive ones become pull requests.
Pay as you go
You pay for the tokens used, with no subscription. Every new project starts with $1.00 of credit.
Questions
- Should I choose v0 or MakeThemCode?
- v0 to generate new UI fast on the Vercel stack. MakeThemCode to let non-developers change an existing site safely, whatever its stack.
- Does MakeThemCode work with Vercel?
- Yes. Changes are commits on your GitHub repository, so Vercel deploys them like any other commit.
- Can developers use it too?
- Yes, but it is designed for the people around them: clients, marketers, designers, product managers.
Pay per request, with spending limits per project and per member. Developers keep control of the repository.
