A lot of people have been asking me lately about the ETA of the new version of @supastarter. This has been creating some pressure on me, because I always feel like needing to justify that it is not ready... πŸ₯²

To create more transparency and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Classic developer moment:

Setting up a new application including auth within 2 hours and now trying to find out why dotenv-cli won't read my local env file for fucking 4 hours 🀯😭

Here is a quick preview of what the project structure for @supastarter will look like with @turborepo πŸ‘€

With this new architecture you will be able to pick the features you need for your SaaS and be ready to go in minutes πŸ”₯

Migration to @turborepo is nearly done. Time add the documentation and get this thing out the door πŸ”₯

What are your plans for today friends?

Have been asked so many times when the new version of @supastarter will finally be released and the simple answer is: I can’t tell πŸ€”

The reason why it takes so long is that I only want to release a version that is really production-ready and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@alemalohe @nextjs @supastarter Not shipping with issues, of course πŸ˜…

I try to fix them or get in touch with the maintainers and library authors. That’s why the implementation of the current version takes so long. Don’t want to release a version that is not production ready yet.

New week, new energy πŸ”₯β˜•οΈ

Really excited to get back to work on @supastarter this week. Trying to finalize i18n and the new monorepo structure.

What are your plans for the week? πŸš€

Great start into the weekend, letβ€˜s see where we can take sales by the end of this week πŸ”₯

Incredible, I just saw that the @supastarter twitter account now has +1k followers 🀯 Thanks so much to everyone who has been supporting me on this journey and let's see where we can take this next πŸš€
Indie hackers, have you every redesigned the logo of your project / business ? πŸ’…πŸΌ

If so, show us the BEFORE and AFTER πŸ”₯

Here is the redesign of the @supastarter logo I did a few months ago:

Translations with @nextjs for the new @supastarter version are now finally implemented thanks to the awesome work of @aralroca on next-translate! Very nice API for RSC and client components πŸ”₯

It's just incredible how much me being active on twitter impacts the sales of @supastarter πŸ˜… I didn't make one sale in the last two weeks and after a very active weekend on Twitter, I just got 3 in a row πŸš€

Marketing is essential πŸ”₯

For the next version we went the extra mile to build an abstraction layer for auth, so you can pick your favorite auth provider and it will work right out of the box πŸ”₯

Which one would you choose?

@ClerkDev, @supabase or @nextauthjs ? πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ’»

Even after hundreds of deployments on @vercel the UX of this flow is just phenomenal πŸ”₯

Just deployed the first draft of the new landing page from the new monorepo structure built with @turborepo. Next up is the SaaS app part. Let's go! πŸš€

I am finally happy with the architecture of the new supastarter version πŸ”₯

Going to use @turborepo which allows me to split up the landing page and the application part into two independently deployable sites πŸš€

Now this is what #buildinpublic really is about for me.
Not only sharing the positive things and success stories, but being honest and open about your journey.
Sometimes things don't work out and that's totally fine.
But it's part of the journey to become who you want to be.
My wife and I decided to give up on our startup @logologydesign

It was a tough decision to make, especially after spending 5 years and almost all of our savings to bootstrap it.

But the reality is that despite our best efforts, we never found a way to grow beyond survival… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I am currently reconsidering the choice of next-auth as the default in the new @supastarter version πŸ‘¨πŸΌβ€πŸ’»

⁉️ Question to my developer fellows:

Do you prefer next-auth with custom user db or a service like @supabase, @ClerkDev or @auth0 ? 🧐

I am thinking about integrating @DrizzleOrm into the new supastarter version, but it only supports SQL databasesπŸ€”

Do you use SQL databases or No-SQL databases?

🏁 Another milestone

After switching to @lmsqueezy in February supastarter has finally crossed the €10k mark there, making it €15k+ in total now (prev Stripe) 🀯

It's incredibly motivating and I am really thankful for all your support πŸ”₯

The new version is also including storybook for easier component development. Still trying to figure out how to get next/font configured in there though πŸ˜
