What are you building, and what does your stack look like?
byβ’
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 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.
Building Murror, an AI app for young people dealing with loneliness and isolation. The core idea is that a lot of people don't have anyone they can really talk to without judgment, and Murror tries to be that space.
Stack is React Native for mobile, Node/Express on the backend, PostgreSQL, and we're using a mix of Claude and some fine-tuned models for the emotional support layer. For auth we went with Supabase which made things a lot simpler early on.
The hardest part honestly isn't the stack, it's figuring out how to make something that feels genuinely warm and not like a chatbot. That's been most of the work.
