  • wasp

    The fastest way to develop full-stack web apps with React & Node.js.

  • Because Wasp as a framework allows you to describe your app’s core features in a main.wasp config file. Then it continually compiles and “glues” these features into a React-ExpressJS-Prisma full-stack app for you.

  • coverlettergpt

    Generate Cover Letters based on Job Description and your Resumé. Manage jobs and applications. Get Hired. Have fun. Be cool. Go to School.

  • Below, I’m going to share with you how I built it (yes, it’s open-source!), how I marketed and monetized it, along with a bunch of helpful resources to help you build your own profitable side-project.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • SaaS-Template-GPT

  • By the way, If you’re interested in building your own SaaS with almost the same stack as above, I also built a free SaaS template you can use that will save you days of work!

  • templates

    Railway starters (by railwayapp)

  • The Server and Postgres Database are hosted on https://railway.app, with the client on Netlify.com’s free tier.

  • chakra-ui

    ⚡️ Simple, Modular & Accessible UI Components for your React Applications

  • For the UI, I used Chakra UI, as I always do. I like that it’s a component-based UI library. This helps me build UI’s a lot faster than I would with Tailwind or vanilla CSS.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
