Too basic or okay? 😅
While doing MakerBox I found more great tools with Free plans like Vev, June and folk. Will check them out in the next month.
Trending on Indie Hackers
Ruby on Rails with Hotwire and Postgres, hosted on Render. Plausible for analytics.
Sweet and simple 🙂
Curious - why Plausible over Google Analytics?
By the way, I'm looking for feedback on DarkColors, a tool that makes it easy for you to test website color ideas: https://www.darkcolors.digital/workspace
Amazing
Backend: Ruby on Rails
Frontend: Next.js
Databases: Postgresql, Redis
CRM: Close.com
what do you use for auth?
We handle Auth at the Rails level. Have been using Devise for years at many jobs and have found it really great. https://github.com/heartcombo/devise
Loved it
I've mostly worked with react and been dabbling with next.js, what are your thoughts on it; why do you like to use it?
NextJS has everything you need—routing, server-side rendering, and more. It’s used by so many projects that most issues are documented. Many painpoints you would have run into have already been solved. Only a little bit of vendor lock-in to worry about.
@fromtheexchange pretty much answered this haha, thank you :). It's really lightweight, so if you know React there's not much of a learning curve to get going with Next. You get routing, image optimization, SSR, build configuration, etc. all out of the box. React is awesome and Next just puts the pieces together you'd have to do yourself if you weren't using a library like Next.

Curious - why Matomo over Google Analytics?

Rytr is something new. Do you enjoy it?
yeah, it AI writing

So cool seeing plausible.io everywhere!
One of the co-founders posts on Mastodon. He seems really nice, I'm glad they're doing well!
thanks all for the kind words! appreciate your support!
I like how detailed the Parthenon website is. Very thorough!

PHP is alive!! Great stack
Thanks for sharing it with us
I use surge.sh for static hosting, and then I'm building the ultimate backend in Java https://www.adama-platform.com to host all sorts of things
analytics - plausible.io
Plausible ❤️
glad you're finding Plausible useful!
At notik.app:
Rails for most apis and backend
imba.io for interactive frontend
PixiJS and WASM for some high performant charts
Deployed on render.com
Shynet https://github.com/milesmcc/shynet for analytics
Nice one
What a cool stack!
Can you talk about the value that airtable and tally gives you?
What do you do with the tools? How has it saved you time?
I'm looking for a form & data collection platform.
I used Airtable as a database for Makerbox — https://www.makerbox.club/
IMO, this is more convenient than Notion tables.
I used Tally to waitlist users. Free plan covers 99% of use cases
Sweet that makes sense.
Convenient as in simpler API and integration?
I build my app in SwiftUI.
This plugs into a Firebase Firestore database.
User accounts are managed through Firebase Auth.
My small landingpage (mostly for App Store requirements) is on Wordpress.com.
My app analytics is done with Google Analytics.
I distribute beta app via TestFlight.
I UX with Copic markers and paper.
And I gather qualitative feedback via Whatsapp.
Wordpress veteran 👋

I always like to build things from the start that's why I chose Vanilla Js or Flask instead of lets say ReactJs and Django.

It's pretty good yeah,had 0 issues with them whatsoever.
But I will have to use Stripe on 589.studio because Paddle doesn't now allow human work..
How are you liking using airtable as your DB?
For https://readmefirst.co we’re using:
Airtable is great! Highly recommend it
Great list !
Any reason for choosing SparkMail as an email client ?
It's just amazing. Makes email experience less painful
