Prototyper history gone, now what?

General
21

I tried it, but it still failed. What should I do next?

22

I think theyā€™re facing server overload

23

Okay, because it was still generating when I got back to the prototyper but it just didnā€™t write anything. I hope it will be resolved soon.

24

Do you think I can create a new app with the prototyper and then somehow import all the stuff from my github project there?

25

yes, the same process I outlined here with some minor changes, itā€™s actually simpler since you wonā€™t necessarily need to worry with back up and reverting the initial commit (although this is a good idea)

Thank you so much! I passed the details on to my bro and heā€™s helped me get the project back online following these steps! Really appreciate the help from you and the contribution to the community!

BTW. I think the prototyper works muuuuch better since I created a new project.

yepz! it does works better because the context is clean, itā€™ll read the codebase and work with great precisionā€¦ as context gets overloaded it becomes increasingly difficult to keep context precision. Although Gemini 2.5 is pretty awesome with context, still, in a large codebase precision is key. (itā€™s not like we are coding 1 shot tetris games).

Thanks @DaC ! This worked. This was the first thing I wanted to do but I didnā€™t know what folders to clear out first and frankly I wasnā€™t sure if it would make things worse. Thanks! I owe you a pint of any beverage!

If youā€™re ever in DC, give me a holler.
Now if only I could get firebase to deploy functions even onceā€¦ studio just canā€™t handle eslint issues.
