It needed to be said. The onboarding sucks big time. Another misleading Sign up to join the waitlist. Shame on you for using black pattern to collect users. Not a good start!
The look of UI is good but React code is horrible. It doesn't utilize components and jsx maps, lots of repetition and junk. You basically need to rewrite everything to be production-viable.
Update:
After a few days of using, I think if v0 can build up a serie of pages based on one common theme generated by AI, that would be awesome. For now, I have to adjust every page generated into a similar looking preference, not auto enough.

This can be useful for a side project's starting up. But, you can not get everything you want. e.g., prompt with "An AI styled login page". You'll just get yourself a trival one rather that a login page with amusing artifacts.
Pros: Easily provide neat designs without looking for a designer. (This overkills the Cons, 10 out of 10!)
Cons: Sometimes it just won't provide what you want. Also, it has UI dependencies, which may be bad if you have a specific UI preference. Plus, free users' production is public unless you pay.
The idea is really cool as a proof of concept.
Additionally, it could be cool for one off pages.
However, I would never use this on a real project since having a design system is a requirement for any project I work on. With a lot of UI component libraries gaining traction I would have to use a bespoke component which does not really adhere to my design system.
Of course this might be added in the future and the fact that it already uses tailwind is a great step towards that but until then it is still a cool tool to get inspiration for some screens.
I am using Vercel for some of my sites and it is truly fantastic, both in terms of management and simplicity. It manages to stay simple despite offering a lot of options.
I could see the potential. Maybe 6-8 months from now, this will be significant.
Vercel's interface is definitely up there with the best in terms of less but better. Instant switch from Netlify!
Vercel makes deployment easy and removes the need for infrastructure management. If you use Vercel Edge Functions, your whole site is on a global CDN which means that speeds are incredible.
Makes deployments super easy, paid features should be less expensive.
