    golang webapp framework (rails inspired) (by andrewarrow)

  • I love this list. One thing I'll add is I like to avoid using S3 or google's cloud storage AT ALL until I have > 30 GB. i.e. with google free tier of their compute engine you get a 30GB hard drive, 1GB ram, and two AMD EPYC 7B12 2250 MHz processors. So I make a fake bucket system using those free 30GB:

    All I code I write is in bucket form, ready to flip a switch and use real buckets but 100% free up to that hard drive limit.

  • open-expenses

    A curated list of private businesses publicly sharing their expenses.

  • I've compiled a list of businesses that are sharing their expenses publicly, adding this one as well: https://github.com/jmstfv/open-expenses

    on the stack itself: it might seem overpriced (or even overengineered), but if that's what they're comfortable with, so be it. getting your product out there faster and being more agile (no pun intended) is worth much more than saving here and there - you can always optimize later (which is a place most businesses won't ever reach, unfortunately).

  • hamsterbase

    self-hosted, local-first web archive application.

  • I also maintained a project at an extremely low cost, other than the $99 for the mac app store and the domain, my other costs were $0.
