ViteNext Generation Frontend Tooling
5.0 (52 reviews)
Maybe one of the most beautiful dev tools ever. It's just so nice to work with. For the frontend of WriteRush, I needed a modern, blazing-fast development environment and build tool. Vite was the obvious and perfect choice. The instant server start and HMR made the development loop incredibly fast. It's a tool that provides all the power of a modern bundler with none of the complex configuration. Thanks Vite team!
Tailwind CSSA utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development
5.0 (213 reviews)
I have so much to say about Tailwind. It's just incredible. If you're not using it, use it! It's the single greatest tool for UI I've found. It allowed me to build a polished, professional, and fully responsive UI for the WriteRush website without ever having to leave my DOM. It's so intuitive and fast that it feels like you're sculpting a design in real-time. I could never have achieved this level of design quality on my own without it.

NeonServerless Postgres: Now Generally Available
5.0 (48 reviews)
I knew I needed a robust Postgres database for WriteRush's user accounts and subscription data. As a solo dev, the idea of managing a traditional database was daunting. Neon's serverless Postgres was great! The setup took literally 5 minutes. It scales automatically, the developer experience is fantastic, and the ability to branch my database like I branch my code is awesome. Neon gave WriteRush a production-grade database with zero overhead, letting me focus on building the app itself.
TiptapDeveloper toolkit for building collaborative apps
4.9 (60 reviews)
WriteRush uses TipTap for its rich text editor and it's awesome! It makes the content editable dev experience so simple and easy. I considered lexical and even codemirror, but went with TipTap as it was perfect for my needs. I also use marked and turndown (npm) to convert to and from markdown
Next.jsCreate web applications with the power of React components
5.0 (430 reviews)
Next.js is the backbone of the entire WriteRush backend. It's the rare tool that truly delivers on the promise of a full-stack framework. I was able to build the marketing landing page and the entire secure backend API for payments and user auth all within a single, cohesive codebase. Next.js gave me, a solo developer, the leverage to build what would have once required a whole team.
VercelThe frontend cloud. Creators of Next.js.
5.0 (701 reviews)
WriteRush is hosted on Vercel, because of how simple and easy it is. Not just that, it's incredibly powerful to use. Vercel builds in such incredible and powerful tools. I'm very grateful for all the hard work that went into making Vercel!

HeroicTesla of Personal Development
5.0 (1 review)
This might be an unusual shoutout, but it's an important one! While building WriteRush, I relied on many of the habits and skills I'd learned from Bryan and everyone at Heroic. I even used some of the ideas from Heroic in WriteRush (ex: celebrating small wins). I can't recommend Heroic enough!
