Vercel

Vercel is built for Next.js and removes infrastructure management. You connect your GitHub repo, and every git push to the main branch is a production deployment. Every pull request automatically generates a unique preview URL for testing. Your API routes are deployed as auto-scaling serverless functions with no configuration required.

Tailwind CSS

For UI, I use Tailwind CSS to avoid context-switching and write styles directly in the markup. For complex components like dialogs, forms, or data tables, shadcn/ui is my go-to. It's not a library you install; you use its CLI to copy the component's code directly into your project. This gives you full ownership of the code, making customization straightforward.
