šŸšØAttention fellow developers!šŸšØ

So, hereā€™s the deal. As an entry-level developer, Iā€™ve officially kicked off my journey to build the ultimate SaaS Starter Kit. But guess what? The first hurdle Iā€™m facing is picking the right tech stack. šŸ˜…

After lots of thinking (and caffeine), Iā€™ve narrowed it down to a few core technologies to start with:

šŸŒ Backend: Iā€™ll be using Symfony, Laravel, and Goravel (a new favorite Iā€™m excited to dive deeper into). Iā€™ll also sprinkle in some Backend JS for good measure. Fiber will be used for the beta project. šŸš€

šŸ’¾ Database: Iā€™m going with SQL for the first beta (because I like things structured and easy to query) šŸ—„ļø. Later on, I may expand, but for now, letā€™s keep it classic.

šŸ’³ Payment Integration: Stripe for payment processing because, well, itā€™s Stripe. Simple, powerful, and reliable. šŸ’°

šŸ”‘ User Authentication: No third-party dependencies here. Iā€™ll be building custom email verification and social logins from scratch. No shortcuts, just pure dev magic. šŸ˜ŽāœØ

šŸ’” The plan is to keep things simple and solid with frameworks that provide security and scalability. Iā€™ll start with Laravel and Symfony for the first beta and ensure itā€™s developer-friendly for easy future updates. Iā€™m all about security, so no messing around with fragile auth systems. I'll handle it all internally.

āœ… This is just the beginning, but I want to make sure that every decision I make here is scalable and maintainable. My first goal? Get this first version out, learn tons, and iterate based on your feedback.


Now I want YOUR opinion! šŸ’¬

Got any other tools, libraries, or best practices you think I should include? What frontend framework should I start with? React, Vue, Angular? Or something else? Let me know in the comments!
