What are you building, and what does your stack look like?
by•
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!

I just built my first saas product (Streamster.shop) as a solopreneur, and here's what I'm using:
Auth: Supabase Auth
Billing: Stripe
Permissions: Started with simple boolean flags. Now moving to RBAC. My advice: plan early.
My secret sauce:
I'm actually a manager at a B&B and not a developer. My "co-founder" is AI. It wrote 90% of the code. Although it was expensive, I used OpenClaw + Codex + Opus.
The hardest part wasn't the tech — it was staying focused on what actually matters to users vs. what I thought mattered and looked cool lol
Happy to hop on a call!
ZapDigits
Hey @ryan_hendrickson ,
I am building @ZapDigits . Helping marketing agencies with client reporting and dashboards. I've been working on it for more than 1 year now. A few months back I quit my full time job. Launched on Product hunt twice. 1st time product of the day and second time 3rd. We have 25+ native integrations and counting.
Stack is simple: Next.js, Prosgress, AWS fargate, AWS S3 and a few lambda functions.
