Easy Bill 🚀

Build an AI‑powered billing app in days using React, Node & MongoDB

Why read this?

If you’re a solo dev or small team looking to ship a production‑ready billing solution—fast—this post breaks down exactly how I used ChatGPT, Lovable AI & Cursor AI to plan, scaffold and deploy Easy Bill.

Quick Overview

AI assistants wrote ~70 % of the boilerplate.
Whole stack = React + Node/Express + MongoDB + Render.
Multi‑tenant out of the box: each user belongs to an Organisation.
Extendable to POS or inventory with minimal refactor.

Architecture & Tooling

Layer	Tech / Tool	Why I used it
Project plan	ChatGPT	Brainstorm use‑cases, draft ERDs & sprints
Frontend	React + Lovable AI + Render	Generate UI and deploy via Render
Backend	Node/Express + Cursor AI + Render	CRUD routes & auth logic; hosted on Render
Database	MongoDB Atlas	Schemaless agility for rapid iteration
Integration	Cursor AI	Hooked REST calls into React hooks
