Build Fast - How do you do it?
Curious what other people use to help build their mvp’s fast. Frameworks, services, libraries, project management tools, blood sacrifices, etc…

Photopea, tailwindcss, tailwindui. As a developer with limited design skills, these help me look half competent :)
I use my own SaaS boilerplate (https://usegravity.app) for spinning up new web apps fast. Stripe for payments, Heroku for hosting and Todoist for Project Management.
Recently added Freedom to my stack to prevent me from wasting time on social media :D
JAMstack (NextJS + TailwindCSS) is my go too, quick to deploy and virtually no cost for trying out new ideas.
Ruby on Rails is key. Sometimes I use Jumpstsart Pro by Chris Oliver, has a few useful features already implemented
Nice! I'm a Laravel developer myself but I think there are a lot of similar products to help speed up development in both ecosystems.
I've been learning how to do that for the past 2 years. The stack that's worked best for me is using Next JS and deploying it on Vercel.
Project management: I keep a work diary on Notion. Other than that ... Google docs and notes 😅
Used Airtable for quick backends. Supabase if I needed authentication.
oh yeah and Tailwind (I'm using a custom setup but their components are pretty good for a fast turnaround as well)
For us working on https://heyform.net project, we utilize the NextJS and Tailwind framework, CloudFlare and AWS services, Gitlab as project management and DevOps tool.
You just need to choose what you are most familiar with, it would speed the development pace up.
Nice! What are you using for a database. I've always been a little confused if nextjs is meant to interact with a database or not.
We are using the RDS service (Mongo while developing locally) for the database.
