Hello fellow indie hackers.
I am an Applied Math university student with an idea that I want to develop.
Basically I want to create a subscription based webapp that lets user prepare for medical school admission exams here in Italy.
The web-app would include PDFs of the theory, video lessons, tons of exercises and exams simulations. I feel there is space for this because the only options are:
Now onto my question. I am currently building the frontend with Bootstrap.
But I am unsure about the backend, probably Django?
I will integrate the payments with Stripe/Paypal and let user login with OAuth so that I do not store any sensitive data at all.
I am bit unsure how I will be saving what kind of subscription the user has, but maybe stripe already handles that?
I am just open about your opinions on this. Any tips is accepted! If you also have some resources that you want to share on how to learn how to do this I would be grateful! I know how to code but I only focused on Advanced mathy algorithms <_<
A basic answer which is often mentioned elsewhere too, the best stack to use at a time/stage like this is everything you're already familiar with. Whilst other platforms/languages may be better, being able to develop something now and get it out for feedback is best. Use what you already know.
Honestly, if you're not already familiar with a stack, I would look at low/no-code options. Check out webflow.io or browser makerpad.co and that will let you get up and running much faster.
