Not sponsored by anyone in any way for listing these tools, this is just the toolkit I’ve personally pulled together over time from trying out different tools and approaches. YMMV.

Something to keep in mind when building - if you have a validated idea and are confident people will pay you money to use it, don’t waste time designing a stack based on free tiers. Your time is more valuable than the , and your first customers will cover the costs. Worst case you shut it down after a couple months because your validation was wrong, it forced you to learn quickly to not bleed cash.

Before you worry about building, keep things as simple as possible. An MVP is not a product, it’s a process - could be as simple as a napkin mockup and talking to potential customers.

There’s a lot of web app builders that provide too much control, so it becomes like visual coding and doesn’t really speed up the process.

These are my favorites to start with because they things like User Authentication dead simple with hardly a thought, and have good balance between customizability and done-for-you components.

Not as quick or easy to get up and running, but these give you a lot of control.

This one goes out to the chronic over-thinkers and over-researchers that get overwhelmed by options and struggle to start.
