Solopreneur AI SaaS Toolkit: My Tech Stack as a former CTO of a YC backed startup

Hi! Quick intro– my name is Matt. I'm a former CTO of a YC backed startup that built an AI education tool that helped students study for their exams. Because of difference in values between my co-founder and I, I decided to leave my startup and start afresh.

Before moving onto my next startup, I wanted to take a step back, reflect on what I've done and create a good base for future startups. Which is why I've decided to write down my tech stack and create some boilerplate code for my future startups. I hope sharing this can help you build your startup!
