The technology stack used to build this site.

personal: Astro React SSG + Gyoza Theme by lxchapu
GDPR-compliant analytics via Insights
Cloudflare Pages w/ GitHub CI/CD
blog comments with utteranc.es
impressions with Turso


Built on Ubuntu Linux (WSL2) + MacOS Monterey
Cursor | VS Code, Warp, Terminal, git, vi, zsh
Brave | Firefox | Chrome | Safari | Edge


My comfort zone as an early startup stack:
Frontend: Vite + TypeScript + Preact + TailwindCSS + DaisyUI
use Borodutch starter; add 🥢Wouter+RemixIcons; swap out Jotai for 🐻Zustand
pick one: Dynamic, Privy or Farcaster AuthKit
🐸frog for anything Frames, Cast Action, or Composer Action-related
react-farcaster-embed by @pugson (but be aware of the dependencies!)
Backend: Cloudflare Pages w/ GitHub CI/CD, or Hono on Cloudflare Workers
data choices that work well together: Cloudflare KV, Upstash Redis, Fly Postgres.
or, just use Create T3 App on Vercel
I don't f/w MongoDB much, which feels like it's right in the middle of all tradeoffs. IBM Netezza is my favorite enterprise-scale DB I've ever worked with.


Previous work (Starlight): NodeJS + Express + Typescript
React, an ORM + the world's most advanced Open Source relational database
collab via Linear+GitHub w/ Slack integrations
no legacy cruft, only the most productive tools we can find with pleasant DX
