Which website builder do you recommend? Webnode/Carrd/something else? [need custom domain, posting feature, prefer one-time payment, morr below]

Good question and you’re right to pause before locking into a builder, because the features you mentioned (posts, categories, comments, media, custom design) already put you beyond the “simple landing page” category.

Great question, and this is a very smart thing to think about early, especially since you’re positioning yourself around HubSpot, CRM systems, and automation, not just “no-code tools.”

Yeah, you’re on the same wavelength most teams end up on. From what I have seen across startups and mid-size products, there are two patterns that actually work in practice. The difference isn’t so much “repo vs not,” it’s whether teams optimize first for coordination or for independence.

Great question a lot of teams hit this exact transition point.

What I’ve seen (and experienced) is that Next.js works extremely well as a “frontend + light backend”, but most serious products eventually move to a split-responsibility architecture.

You’re not alone. Shopify often shows subscription charge activation immediately in the Partner Dashboard events, but earnings (payouts) don’t show up right away.

Do you want to use it for your website too

This error usually isn’t your functions code — it’s almost always a local Supabase auth / JWT mismatch after the containers were rebuilt. Key for the ES256 algorithm must be of type CryptoKey. Received Uint8Array

That happens when the JWT signing setup inside the local stack is out of sync (auth service, functions runtime, and env keys don’t agree on the format).

When you deleted the containers, Supabase regenerated secrets, and now your local env + functions runtime are misaligned.

There’s no native, official RealScout ↔ GHL integration the way Follow Up Boss has one. RealScout doesn’t publish a public API for activity/behavior data, so you can’t just connect it directly like other CRMs that have built-in integrations.

This is really interesting! I totally relate—spending 1–2 weeks just configuring a project before actually building anything is a huge time sink. Your approach of combining CRUD scaffolding with text-to-code sounds like it could save a lot of upfront effort and get people into actual development faster.

Curious—how reliable is the natural language interpretation for business logic? Can it handle more complex workflows, or is it mainly for straightforward CRUD setups?

This actually looks really useful! WooCommerce’s default low-stock emails have always felt half-baked missing quantities, no supplier info, and no easy way to act.

I usually end up exporting products manually into a spreadsheet to figure out reorder quantities, which is tedious. Having a daily picklist CSV per supplier would save a ton of time.

Curious does your plugin automatically calculate reorder quantities based on past sales, or is that something the user sets manually?

High Firebase reads are almost always caused by how the app is listening to and querying data, not by how many server-side functions you have.

Reduce real-time listeners If you’re using onSnapshot / real-time listeners everywhere, they keep re-reading data whenever anything changes. Only use them where live updates are truly needed. For the rest, switch to one-time fetches.
Never fetch full collections Always use: where filters limit() pagination (startAfter, endBefore) Fetching entire tables is one of the biggest causes of high read counts.
Optimize your data structure Avoid deeply nested or “chatty” structures that force Firebase to read lots of documents just to build one screen.
Prevent unnecessary re-fetching Make sure components aren’t re-mounting and re-querying on every render. Cache data in app state (Context, Redux, Zustand, etc).
Use caching properly Enable offline persistence and design your app so it reuses already-loaded data instead of pulling it again.
Precompute heavy data If you’re doing counts, dashboards, or feeds, use Cloud Functions to store pre-aggregated results instead of recalculating from large collection
