... thing I've noticed with websites is that the stack can grow pretty quickly. You start with a CMS and hosting, then add plugins, analytics, SEO tools, forms, backups, security, integrations, and other tools as you need them. None of those decisions seem unreasonable on their own. But eventually, I started wondering whether having more tools actually makes the setup better, or just harder to manage. Has anyone here actually consolidated their website stack

... pulled the numbers from Forg across 700 public projects, 1.5k+ indie hackers, and a mountain of company data to answer three questions I keep arguing about with other founders: What are indie hackers actually shipping? What stack are they running? How are they charging for it? The patterns turned out sharper than I expected. Here's the honest read. AI didn't win. It lapped the field. "AI is popular" is not news. What surprised me was the margin ... ... fastest-forming one on the platform. Takeaway: If you're starting something today, "AI-native" isn't an edge anymore. It's the baseline everyone else is already at. There is now one indie hacker stack

... built with native Swift that s waiting for App Store review. After months of development, I can clearly feel that Tauri being frontend-based fits much better into today s agent/AI ecosystem: AI is way more familiar with frontend stacks: React/Vue/TypeScript/etc. The code it generates is often more structured than what I d write by hand. Tauri is cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android (even if I don t need all of them right now). A lot of tools ... ... agent read the HTML directly, and render it with Remotion exact replica. Totally different experience from Swift. (Though for Swift/iOS, Goldie is actually a great project for generating marketing visuals too.) Building a C/S architecture with a frontend stack

... this point in 2026 if you don't have an AI stack, it's hard to imagine how you work. I talk to a lot of founders regularly and one common question i ask out of curiosity: What AI tool do you have in your stack

... another tab you feel guilty about. I watched this happen to a client a few months ago. Eleven tools. Eleven logins, eleven bills, eleven quick trainings she sat through and then forgot. She was spending more hours managing the stack than she used to spend just doing the actual work by hand. That s the tell if you ask me. The tools were supposed to buy her time back, and instead they became a second job. The stack

... kept the exact Causo stack private because we thought it was part of the moat. Then we realized that knowing the tools is the easy part. Orchestrating them, verifying every result, building fallbacks and running the whole thing at scale is what actually takes the time and money. So we re making it public. This is how Causo searches, enriches, verifies and writes outreach using live data instead of stale databases. Comment from Mazin Assaf(@mazin_assaf): @ivan ... ... anyway" is the right read, and there is a second thing hiding in it. If potential customers are asking what you built it with, they are telling you they are evaluating you as a build-vs

... Product Hunt! Shipping in public has completely evolved. Ideas that used to take months to build and deploy can now be built and shipped in days. While building several full-stack AI web apps recently, I noticed a massive shift in developer velocity when moving from heavy server infrastructure to client-side WASM & edge computing. Here are 3 stack

... LinkedIn Feels Like Facebook Now. Here's What Comes Next. Open LinkedIn. Then open Instagram. Then go back to LinkedIn. You will feel the fifteen years. The blue-and-white template. The dense wall of text posts stacked on top of each other. The same "3rd" badge next to every name. The same grey card shadows that haven't changed since profile redesigns were still called "beta." It is functional in the way a government form is functional. Nobody opens ... ... years by people who cared about how it feels to use. Dark, considered interfaces. Whitespace that isn't accidental. Content that is the product, not decoration bolted onto a spreadsheet. The short answer to "what's the best LinkedIn alternative

... suddenly lose access to all AI. But what happens if , one day, access to the leading American models is restricted more broadly? We would still have European models, open-source systems we can operate ourselves, and Chinese alternatives. But there is no guarantee that another major power would never make the same decision to protect its own strategic advantage. AI is no longer just another software category. It is becoming infrastructure. It will shape education, healthcare, national security, research ... ... world are American, and Europe should continue working closely with the United States. But cooperation and dependency are not the same thing. Technological sovereignty does not mean refusing to use foreign technology. It means having a real alternative

... which assistant or terminal agent people use, but not much on the actual architecture decisions behind that, things like framework, hosting, database, and auth choices that affect cost and security down the line. For context, my current default stack is Next.js on the frontend, Supabase for database and auth, Vercel for hosting, and Stripe for payments. I picked it mainly for speed of shipping and because it keeps infra costs predictable early on, but I'm not sure ... ... best call for security or scaling past MVP stage. A few things I'm curious about: Do you settle on a default stack

... picture. 7 months, solo, zero coding background before I started. Backend runs on Cloudflare Workers with automated AI evals and vector-based memory search. Live on 4 platforms: iOS, iPad, Mac, web. Around 32,000 automated tests across the stack before anything ships. I write the scenario spec, what it's testing and why it matters. AI generates the test case and a gold reference reply from that spec. Nothing ships unreviewed. Happy to answer anything about the process ... ... stack

... from "looks good" to "actually shippable." And that's the part I keep sitting with: AI didn't remove the work it moved the whole pipeline onto one person. We're all being quietly pushed into becoming full-stack workers. Except we're beginners at most of it, learning on the fly. It's powerful. It's also genuinely tiring. There's an upside once you've walked through those details once, you build real intuition and learn to brief ... ... keep wondering: as AI keeps getting stronger, does everyone just become a tired generalist? Or is there still a real edge in going deep on one thing? Anyone else feel this? Is AI making you a full-stack

I'm Alex, a full-stack engineer and the founder of WebStackDev I ve been lurking on Product Hunt for a while, watching incredible products launch every day, and decided it was finally time to jump into the discussions and connect with fellow builders. My core expertise lies in building high-performance, modern web applications from scratch. I live and breathe: The Stack

... burning money early on. That s exactly what I m trying to do with my upcoming Chrome extension for LinkedIn. I don t know if it will take off, so I want to go with the most cost-efficient stack possible. Could you recommend the best low-cost alternatives

... never put in a deck. Fundraising tracker? Spreadsheet. Early pricing models? Spreadsheet. Half the "analytics" I do before something becomes a real dashboard? A messy .xlsx I delete later. There's this gap between how teams describe their stack and what they actually open at 11pm to get the answer. The pitch is agents and pipelines and a modern data warehouse. The reality is someone exporting a CSV and pasting it into a tab named "final_v3_REAL ... ... dashboards out instead of pretending the file doesn't exist. Building it made me a lot more honest about my own habits. So be honest with me: what's the least glamorous, most spreadsheet-shaped part of your "modern" stack

... Every single week, my X feed and GitHub trending list tell me the same thing: the tech stack we chose three months ago is already obsolete. There s a new AI wrapper that promises 10x speed, a new framework that claims to solve all state-management nightmares, and a database that apparently runs on pure magic. It s exhausting. As a CTO, the pressure to constantly innovate is real. You want to give your team the absolute best tools ... ... experiencing today -not a hypothetical problem we might have next year.

... tradeoff is. Would you rather: Use multiple specialized tools and control each part yourself Use one AI builder that handles most of the product end-to-end Start with an all-in-one builder, then move to a custom stack later Also, what would make you not trust an AI builder for a real product? Comment from Viktoriia (@virtualviki): Hey I am non-technical founder and actually went through this last year. Built SelfOS (an aesthetic daily planner ... ... tradeoff becomes control. I m building Traction, and the more connected the product becomes auth, database, AI, leads, content, revenue, payments, integrations the more important it is to know what is really happening behind the scenes.

I m curious how many makers, given the rather sedentary lifestyle, actually invest in healthtech, and what kind of products they usually choose? Share your health tech stack.
