Stripe's infrastructure handles edge cases Lemon Squeezy doesn't. Better international support, more payment methods, and the ecosystem is unmatched. For a product we plan to scale globally, Stripe's reliability and comprehensive features were non-negotiable. The docs and community support are also top-tier
You own the code it's copy-paste, not a dependency. Built on Radix UI for accessibility out of the box, and perfect Tailwind integration. No package bloat, fully customizable, and you can modify components exactly how you need. It's the best of both worlds
Utility-first CSS means we build UI 3x faster no context switching between files, no naming fatigue. The consistency across the codebase is excellent, and customization through config makes our design system a breeze. It's become the industry standard for good reason
True serverless Postgres that scales to zero = massive cost savings. But the game-changer is database branching it's like Git for your database. We can test migrations on branches before production. Instant provisioning and generous free tier sealed the deal.
Claude excels at following complex instructions and producing structured outputs. The longer context window was crucial for our codebase, and it's genuinely better at reasoning through architectural decisions. Plus, the API is more reliable for production use, and the coding capabilities are outstanding
Vercel's Next.js integration is unmatched (they created it), and the DX is incredible. Edge functions, instant deployments, and zero-config setups saved us weeks. The performance for dynamic content is noticeably better, and preview deployments made team collaboration seamless
Shoutout to Claude by Anthropic. In my experience, it's just a better 'coder.' The logic is tighter, the explanations are more technical, and it helped me ship SnapPoint 0.1.1 faster than any other LLM.
