Builds a working to‑do app from zero using Next.js + TypeScript + Tailwind in minutes, wires it to a Postgres database via Hasura GraphQL (mutation and query examples shown), implements create/read/update (checkbox toggles) with fetch calls, and styles with Tailwind utility classes and editor autocompletion. Demo succeeds locally and author explains scaling: static frontend on a CDN, Hasura/Heroku backend, and a $99/month tier quoted for higher scale — claimed effectively unlimited throughput.
