I used Higgsfield to create the visual assets for PlayJoob — mission cards, skill card visuals, and 3D objects that bring the map world to life. It made it easy to produce polished, game-like visuals without a dedicated 3D artist.
Stripe handles all our payments and subscription logic. The developer experience is unmatched — clean API, great docs, and easy webhook setup. It let us ship billing in hours, not days.
I used Figma more as a quick visual reference tool than a full design workflow. I'd sketch out where changes needed to happen on the UI and hand it off directly fast and lightweight, which fit the solo-builder pace perfectly.
Supabase powers our entire backend auth, database, and real-time updates for the map. It let us move fast as a small team without managing infrastructure. The open-source approach and great DX made it a clear choice over Firebase.
Cursor was our main AI code editor throughout the entire PlayJoob build. It dramatically sped up development from writing complex map logic to debugging real-time features. Hard to imagine shipping without it.
