About Me
I'm a developer with over 8 years of experience in the software industry. In my day job, I mainly focus on Web frontend and Node.js development.
Since 2023, I have dedicated all my spare time to researching indie development and SaaS products. I absorbed a lot of information and tried many tech stacks with a simple goal—to find the most suitable full-stack technology solution for indie developers.
Tech stacks I have researched and practiced include but are not limited to:
- Full-stack frameworks: Next.js, Nuxt.js
- Styling & UI: Tailwind CSS, Shadcn UI, NextUI
- Authentication: NextAuth, Supabase, Firebase, Clerk, Better-auth
- Payment functionality: Lemon Squeezy, Stripe, Paddle
- AI functionality: Direct AI model calls, Vercel AI SDK, OpenRouter, Replicate
- Database and ORM: Supabase, Firebase, Upstash, MongoDB, Prisma, Drizzle
- File storage: Cloudflare R2, Vercel Storage
- Deployment: Vercel, Cloudflare, Dokploy, Zeabur, Railway
- Email services: Resend, Unsend, MailChimp
During this process, I shared experiences and insights through blogging and open-sourced several different types of project boilerplates, which were fortunately recognized and supported by many developer friends.
Through continuous practice and refinement, I finally distilled these experiences into a complete full-stack development solution, which is now the Nexty boilerplate.
Using the Nexty boilerplate, you can achieve:
- Improved time efficiency: No need to repeatedly build project infrastructure, focus your energy on product creativity
- Lower trial and error costs: No time wasted on technology selection decisions, the curated tech stack here has already paved the way for you
- Quality development experience: As a daily user of the boilerplate, I continuously discover and solve developer pain points, integrating all necessary common features
Now, let's get started! The following documentation will detail how to use Nexty to build your own SaaS product.
