    Thanks for sharing ! This is a fantastic resource on modern tech stacks used by founders. Truly impressive work!

  6. 1

    This is a great list, thank you for aggregating this information.

    Disappointed to see not one person using PocketBase. Makes sense because its new, but I honestly think its the perfect Indie Hacker stack, so thought I would just mention it in the comments.

    Its in many ways similar to Rails or Django, and has batteries included to support most SaaS requirements from the start. But it also has a Supabase-like admin UI manage your database, users, oauth secrets, SMTP email verification.

    All that, but its free and open source pure Go code. You can easily deploy it on a cheap VPS, and have the best of both worlds, without headaches or overspending. It is so easy, feels like a cheat code.

    I made a boilerplate with it if anyone is interested. But even if you're not, checking out my demo video and seeing what's possible with PocketBase/htmx would show you how easy it actually is.
