Hello dear HNers. Each year for the last few years I have asked companies of one, meaning companies that consists of only one person of what tech stacks you use. Include as much and as little information as possible but the more the merrier! Feel free to link to your site or project for show case if you want.

What is your tech stack?

Why did you choose it?

Do you think your choices had any impact on your success or failure?

Next.js (v15), React (v19), Auth.js (v5), shadcn/ui, Postgres, Hetzner.

Choice had a big impact, because I don't have to context switch, only have to implement validation once, can re-use a lot of the logic between frontend and backend and the UI part also looks neat. Furthermore with React server components and server actions a lot of the boilerplate code for an internal API is just.. gone. Super easy.

Now with Next.js 15 RC 2 and stable coming out next Friday, I'm in a very good position. Using the app router with Next.js 13 or Next.js 14 was like having warts. But now with Next.js 15 caching is good again and the speed improvements for dev mode were good enough to not bother me anymore.
