Our great sponsors
  • 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
  • vercel

    Develop. Preview. Ship.

  • Vercel: User dashboard hosting.

  • Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

  • Tailwind CSS: A CSS framework I've recently started using. I don't love most CSS frameworks, but this one meets most of my needs and has a lot of existing components you can just copy/paste into your 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.

  • Stripe

    PHP library for the Stripe API.

  • Stripe: Payment processing, required by Outseta. I don't use Stripe directly since it would require a lot more custom code to set up things like teams, and have the data linked to a CRM. Using Outseta for that stuff saves a lot of time.

  • sendgrid-nodejs

    The Official Twilio SendGrid Led, Community Driven Node.js API Library

  • Sendgrid: Email API for whenever I need transactional emails for more complex use cases beyond what Outseta sends.

  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

  • React: UI framework, used by both Next.js and Sanity. Since React is the most popular UI framework at the moment, you'll have a pretty easy time finding open source projects you can leverage, which will save you a ton of time.

  • Next.js

    The React Framework

  • Next.js: I build the user dashboard, and APIs in Next.js. I integrate Outseta to gate the dashboard content, and query data from Sanity for things like API keys, user data, or whatever else your app might need

  • starter-workflows

    Accelerating new GitHub Actions workflows

  • GitHub: Used for source code management, and also scheduling tasks and long-running workflows with GitHub Actions.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Puts Debuggerer

    Ruby library for improved puts debugging, automatically displaying bonus useful information such as source line number and source code.

  • GitHub: Used for source code management, and also scheduling tasks and long-running workflows with GitHub Actions.

  • Docusaurus

    Easy to maintain open source documentation websites.

  • Docusaurus: If the product is technical, I write the documentation in markdown, and generate a docs site with Docusaurus. If the product is not technical, and I don't need things like syntax highlighting, I just put the docs in the Webflow site.
