The Stack
Why This Stack Works
This stack lets you go from idea to revenue in a weekend. Every tool has a generous free tier, so your only cost is your domain name until you start charging customers. Next.js handles both your marketing site and your app. Supabase gives you a production-ready database without managing infrastructure. And Stripe turns on revenue the moment you are ready.
