  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • OpenAI-DotNet

    A Non-Official OpenAI RESTful API Client for DotNet

  • Welcome back to the series where we have been building an application with Qwik that incorporates AI tooling from OpenAI. So far we’ve created a pretty cool app that uses AI to generate text and images.

  • nvm

    Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

  • Our server also needs Node.js to run our app. We could install the binary directly, but I prefer to use a tool called NVM, which allows us to easily manage Node versions. We can install it with this command:

  • 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.

  • SvelteKit

    web development, streamlined (by sveltejs)

  • UPDATE: If you liked this project and are curious to see what it might look like as a SvelteKit app, check out this blog post by Tim Smith where he converts this existing app over.

  • versus

  • git clone https://github.com/AustinGil/versus.git

  • PM2

    Node.js Production Process Manager with a built-in Load Balancer.

  • There are plenty of ways to accomplish this: Docker, Kubernetes, Pulumis, etc., but I don’t like to add too much complexity. So for a basic app, I like to use PM2, a Node.js process manager with great features, including the ability to run our app in the background.

  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  • My preferred solution is using Caddy. This will resolve the networking issues, work as a great reverse proxy, and takes care of the whole SSL process for us. We can follow the install instructions from their documentation and run these five commands:
