I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!

Hey PH community

We just launched Startup Studio today.

Supabase recently surveyed over 2,000 startup founders and builders to uncover what's powering modern startups: tech stacks, GTM, and approach to AI.

See full report here

We re happy @Mercury customers here at Product Hunt. We previously used SVB (I ve used them at other startups as well), but the interface was clunky, and the bureaucratic process was frustrating so we switched to Mercury and couldn t be happier!

Mercury recently introduced expense and reimbursement features. While it may not have all the bells and whistles and detailed permissioning of longer-established options like @Brex , it meets our current needs.

Let s help the next wave avoid mistakes

What would you tell a founder who just got their incorporation docs and opened a bank account?

Hey fellow builders!

I m a solopreneur currently launching my first SaaS (Aurexa), and I ll be building multiple small apps/tools in the future all revenue-generating.

Right now I m setting up Stripe for payments and I m wondering:

How do YOU structure your Stripe account(s)?

We ve been talking to dozens of global founders launching Delaware C-Corps and they re often left in the dark on U.S. tax and compliance.

Curious how many folks here are in that same boat? What s been the hardest part?

Every time I vibe code there is always this huge lift that I constantly have to go through. Authentication, billing, password resets, emails, signup, waitlist, landing page and when it s all said done and the app is ready then comes the marketing, the blogging, the social media automation, the product hunt launch etc etc etc . So much repetitive crap that I have to do just to get a simple app up and running. How do you guys handle all this?

Since I am a coder and a hammer sees everything as a nail, I decided to create all this code as a template so I can jump into building an app right away. There is actually a lot more than what I mentioned above e.g customer support, chat, roadmap for building in public, email flows and more coming.

@cerwindcharlie and I recently did an interview for the Stripe Developers channel (500k+ subs!) and shared stories we ve never talked about before on Pretty Prompt:

• Behind the scenes on the Techstack of Pretty Prompt

• Sometimes the aha moment isn t a dashboard it s TikTok videos

• Growth can literally get you kicked out of Slack

I didn't know you can get locked out of your Slack workspace if you hit a rate limit on the amount of notifications... (We hit the limit because too many users were signing up!)

No ERP. No full-time ops lead. No perfect processes.

Just Notion docs, Google Sheets, Slack chaos and a growing to-do list.

You re hiring. Selling. Delivering. Building.
