My stack.

The tools I use to build Legacies and every digital project I ship. Boring, proven, and fully under my control.

Frontend

What users see. Fast, clean, no framework soup.

Ne

Next.js

App Router. Server components where they make sense, client components where they have to.

TS

TypeScript

Default. I write TS even for small projects. Strictness is free clarity.

TW

Tailwind CSS

Styling stays in the component. No CSS files, no class soup, no surprises.

Backend & Data

The part nobody sees until it breaks.

PG

PostgreSQL

Main database across every Legacies project. Reliable, predictable, boring - in a good way.

Pr

Prisma

Typed schema and queries. Migrations stay sane, DX stays clean.

Py

Python

Occasional. Scripts, automations, the odd ML experiment.

Infrastructure

Self-hosted by choice. Control beats convenience.

VP

Self-hosted VPS

Every Legacies product runs on my own server. No platform lock-in, no surprise bills, full control.

Dk

Docker

Each service in its own container. Clean boundaries, predictable deploys.

Gh

GitHub

Source of truth for every repo. Private by default.
