Our Tech Stack for PostNitro! 🚀

We've just launched the beta program for our startup https://postnitro.ai/, an AI-powered carousel Creator. PostNitro makes it easy for anyone to create stunning, on-brand carousel posts for social media in just minutes with the power of AI. We are two founders, and the project is wholly bootstrapped 😅 The usual concept is that the running cost of a project is always super high, which is a primary pain point (especially when there are no users to bear the cost) and eventually leads to it getting shut down. We chose our tech stack to keep the costs as low as possible so that we can market-test the idea and get the desired results. So, the following is our tech stack for PostNitro: - NextJS - The React Framework for the Web - TypeScript - JavaScript with syntax for types - Mantine - A fully featured React components library - Next-Auth - Authentication for Next.js - Tabler Icons - 4673 Open source free SVG icons. Highly customizable. No attribution required. For commercial use. - Vercel - Develop. Preview. Ship - Zyte - Access the web data you need - OpenAI - Creating safe AGI that benefits all of humanity - Vercel AI SDK - Upstash (Redis) - Serverless Data Platform - Supabase - Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative. - Prisma - Next-generation Node.js and TypeScript ORM At the moment, we are paying for: - Vercel: $20/month - Zyte: $89/month - OpenAI: $120/month (set budget) All in all, the total cost is $229/month. Since we are in beta and allowing all users to generate free content with unlimited carousel posts, we bear this cost and get feedback from our users in exchange, which helps us improve our platform. We are super happy with our serverless tech stack. All the tools mentioned above are excellent and work super harmoniously together. A big shout-out to all of them for helping us develop and scale PostNitro. -- Other tools we've used to complement our platform: UserMaven - for analytics ContentStudio - for social media publishing Frill - for user feedback --
