Hi Courtland and Everyone,

Newbie here! Just curious, what language/framework was used to build IndieHackers for the frontend and backend? If I want to learn how to build nice websites like this, what should I learn?

Thanks!

    How was Indie Hackers built?
    Indie Hackers is an Ember.js app on the front-end. On the back-end, I'm using Ember FastBoot for server-side rendering. The app runs on a Node.js server managed by AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Most pages are cached via CloudFront.
    I did all the design myself, and I built the forum from scratch. The forum uses Firebase to store the data and accounts. The interview and article content is stored in Firebase as well.

      Firebase? Isn't that super expensive?
