I Continued Building and Deploying a Next.js Project From My Android Phone

I hit the usage limit on an AI coding tool while building Lenski, but I did not stop there. I moved the project to Termux on my Android phone and continued working from it. I fixed a Next.js production build issue by identifying the cause and switching the build configuration to Webpack. I then installed the Vercel CLI, connected the project, and deployed it directly from my phone. The production build, login and signup features are now working, and the site is live. My biggest takeaway is that an AI tool reaching its limit does not have to stop your work. If you understand your project, you can keep building and solving problems with other tools. I am sharing this to encourage people who think they need a laptop before they can build serious web projects. Lenski is still under development, and much of my work so far has been done on an Android phone.

Reaching a usage limit can easily stall a project, so continuing through Termux shows useful persistence and flexibility.

Using a phone is impressive, but it may not be a sustainable replacement for a regular development setup on larger projects.

Document the build configuration change and the Termux steps; that could save time if the production issue appears again.
