    Another CSS framework that has been gaining a lot of traction recently is Tailwind CSS. I have no experience with it and hence no opinion.

    I’ve spent the last 5 years building a software product and want to share my learnings. The tl;dr version is: go old-school whenever you can. Don’t listen to the siren-calls of shiny new technology. Instead, aim to learn the technical fundamentals whilst shipping a product as soon as possible. This is absolutely do-able.

    You should definitely use a CSS framework. I used Bootstrap. Sometimes you will hear arguments that all sites using Bootstrap look the same. This is frankly moronic. No end user has ever said this and no SaaS has failed because they used Bootstrap.

  4. A modern PostgreSQL client for OS X
    I went with Postgres which is extremely reliable and mature. Due to its maturity it has a fantastic array of tools that work with it. To mention 2: I use Postico (Mac only) and Metabase.
