I've built five apps in the last month using DeepSeek, spending less than $1 in total. I am totally in love with DeepSeek and my wife knows it :)

I've learned that the more detailed the initial prompt the better result I get. I can share any prompt if you want
and you're not alone (I run Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B at home too).
