How I built my SaaS in 2 weeks using NextJS and Supabase

I always say that the best tech stack to build your SaaS is the tech stack you already know. Because there's no need to learn a completely new technology and waste time in that learning curve when you don't have a profitable product.

For me, I usually use NextJS for the front end, Postgres for the database, and Django for the back end. This tech stack already works well for me and I built 6 SaaS apps with it.

But this time, I decided to go another route with Dymolab. I wanted a route that would let me launch my MVP fast. I already know Firebase, but I decided to go with Supabase because it's open source and more affordable in the long term, plus it has pretty good reviews from other developers.

And thanks to this new tech stack I was able to build Dymolab.com in just 2 weeks. Including the MVP core features, authentication, database, and payment.

So right now, here's my tech stack:
Frontend: NextJS
Backend & DB: Supabase
CSS: Tailwind with Flowbite
Payment: Lemon Squeezy

    Love this stack, I built Zenovay on Next.js + Supabase too. The real-time subscriptions are amazing for live analytics dashboards. One thing I'd add: Cloudflare Workers for the API layer. Sub-100ms response times globally with no cold starts. The Next.js + Supabase + Cloudflare combo is the best solo founder stack in 2026.

    Looking to learn next.js for this purpose. Nice product by the way and a good way to promote it <3.

    Hey!! with this tech you recommend to have at least knowledge of basic programing? i am not a programer but a designer and i am in need of a software for my company! but want to do it myself

    Gj, I used a similar stack for Remotescouter.com. Do you experience any friction with FlowBite as you scale? I've found DaisyUI to be a better tool imo, but always looking for alternatives.

      I don't have problems with Flowbite but I think I will give DaisyUI a try because I heard a lot of good things about it

    Curious about the lifetime subscription, doesn't it reduce the LTV?

      The lifetime subscription is limited to the first users. I did that to get early adopters and build the product with them.

      Since it's still an MVP, I'm going to talk directly to potential customers in order to validate the idea.
