What I Use

My hammer. I've launched close to 100 projects with it. App Router changed everything.

The latest and greatest. Server components are the real deal.

Can't imagine going back to vanilla JS.

Makes everything look good without me having to be a designer.

Best component library out there. Copy-paste, customize, own it.

For when you want things to feel alive.

The accessibility layer I don't have to think about.

Best multimodal bang for your buck right now.

For anything image/video model related, this is where I go. They out-executed Replicate.

Makes streaming AI responses trivially easy.

Auth and DB in one. My only gripe is the pricing.

Rate limiting and caching without the ops headache.

Great for getting started with vector search. Though I'm a PG_VECTOR guy at heart.

CMS for my experiments. GraphQL API is nice.

I run all three side by side and shift when I hit rate limits.

Deploy and forget. First-class Next.js support.

Still the GOAT.

Solid starting point for payments. Just works.
