Speed is important because spending tons of time creating a project with 0 customers is probably the worst use of our limited time on Earth here.
I'm not an SWE by nature and coding is self-taught. So coding for me is pragmatic as opposed to an intellectual circle-jerk. That said, my main goals in building this (and other) projects are:
I built this project with a boilerplate called SaaSPegasus. Great support and not too expensive for what it is. Django + Python might not be the fastest thing in the world in terms of performance, but it's relatively quick to develop with and shoot out an MVP. I'd rather have technical debt with paying customers than financial debt without customers.
For frontend, I just use bootstrap 5. I also installed a theme called 'bulkit' but TBH I would avoid this in the future. My landing page is bulkit whereas the rest of the site is another theme. This made things very difficult.
