Find your stage
Answer 3 quick questions to get a personalized tool stack recommendation. Takes 30 seconds.
Have you started building yet?
Do you have users or customers?
How's your current tool situation?
You're Starting
You're in exploration mode, and that's perfect. You need tools to think, validate, and plan. Not to build (yet).
You're Building
Time to ship. You need a solid foundation, framework, database, hosting, and payments. Everything to go from code to customers.
You're Growing
You have traction! Now you need to understand your users, catch issues early, and scale what's working.
Time to Simplify
Tool overload is real. You need to audit, cut, and consolidate. Less tools, more focus, better results.
Where are you right now?
Read through each stage. One of these will feel like looking in a mirror.
Starting Exploration
You have ideas to validate, problems to understand, and assumptions to test.
- You have 10 ideas and can't pick one
- You're researching more than building
- You feel excited but overwhelmed
- You've talked to 10+ potential users
- You can describe the MVP in one sentence
- You've validated people will pay (or at least sign up)
- You're itching to code, not research
Building Shipping
You're turning ideas into reality. Code is being written, features are shipping.
- You've committed to one idea and need to make it real
- You're writing code but drowning in setup decisions
- You want to ship but keep getting sidetracked by tool choices
- You have real users (not just friends)
- People are paying or showing strong intent
- You need to understand user behavior
- Support requests are becoming a thing
Growing Scaling
You have traction. Now it's about understanding, optimizing, and scaling.
- You have users but don't know what they're doing
- Bugs are reaching customers before you notice
- You're spending more time on ops than product
- Your tool stack has grown organically (chaos)
- You're paying for overlapping features
- Onboarding new team members is painful
- You spend more time in tools than on work
Simplifying Clarity
Step back, audit everything, cut ruthlessly, and regain focus.
- You have 15 subscriptions and use 5 of them
- Context switching between tools is exhausting
- You feel like your stack owns you, not the other way around
- Every tool has a clear, singular purpose
- New team members can onboard in a day
- Your monthly SaaS bill makes sense
- You feel calm, not overwhelmed
