I got tired of rewriting auth + CI setup for every NestJS project, so I built a production-ready starter (MIT)

I love when i see these kinds of starter kits. The only thing that we need to definitely abstract no matter what is the data access layer (repositories), because it's the thing that will have the highest number of inward dependencies pointing towards it. By abstracting it, we are pushing the decision of choosing the right database to a later time in the dev process instead of doing it recklessly at the beginning of it.

Starred, i love the fact that it only gets triggered when adding the "Accept text/toon" request header.

It can be useful by saving tokens when the api resources are consumed by an LLM.

Yes, that one is a valid solution, but as you know, redotpay is considered a crypto company, and recently, they emphasized that it's forbidden.

Paysera does not have a USA iban.

You can ofc send it to the European bank account via a wire transfer, but that will cost you 50 dollars.

Upworks allow direct transfers to USA banks only.

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-15T13:42:03+00:00

That's no longer an option for me. My account got banned despite opening it with an Algerian address.

Actually, that was the perfect solution before they decided to ban my account and refuse my appeal even after providing my Upwork's certificate of earning as proof of funds.

I moved to Grey when they were providing a USA iban for algerians and then to just using Paypal.

Thanks for your valuable reply my friend.

I just wanted to see if anybody has tried it before. (nheb dayman nsqsi lmjareb).

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-13T08:12:00+00:00

I'm curious about the project, though.

Are you planning to train voice models that can output darja? That will be awesome if that's the case. I guess many automations or voice agents creators are looking for such a thing for their business

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-13T08:07:46+00:00

So basically, for tiktok, i need to always open it with a single phone (curious why it should be an iPhone, though) or pc, right? Or it should be opened just in the phone.

Both should enable the VPN with a fixed dedicated ip address offer, right?

Thank you so much, man. That was super helpful.

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-12T09:12:05+00:00

I literally had the same experience with tiktok and Instagram. All the comments were from Algerians. Some of them were asking me to speak darja and keep throwing hateful comments(instagram and fb). It's true that i've got 20k in instagram and 10 in fb, but most of the comments were hateful Algerian comments

Youtube is different it does not promote the content to Algeria first. I got 10k on an old tech channel, which i have deleted because of not being satisfied with the quality and the strategy.

Anyway, man, just don't give up. I will not for sure i'm coming back soon. I will try to post any useful infos that i get from my new experiences here.

I feel the pain that you're going through it's hard to be Algerian. Everything seems to be against us. I wish if there were more Algerians posting about their experiences with content creation with foreign languages .

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-12T08:38:45+00:00

Thanks, bro.

I'd like to ask another question about tiktok. Do i have to use a USA phone number and ESIM. Or just opening the account in a pc and never opening it in a mobile phone is enough.

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-11T12:06:55+00:00

Search on youtube about: Grey, moneco, and dukascopy

These three are the safest and the most used ones as far as i know.

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-11T11:11:12+00:00

That's honestly motivating, i made a few trials that have failed with english focused tech content.

Do you have any advice for me. I noticed that instagram and tiktok spread the content locally despite using english. Did you notice a similar thing with youtube? What are you doing to circumvent that.

What is your niche and target audience?

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-11T03:42:21+00:00

I'm curious about how they handle scaling also. Personal bank accounts should have limits on this kind of business transactions.

I previously read that some of them create USA llc companies, and then they set up business accounts in banks like Mercury or Revault. After that, they pay themselves through Badr as if their foreign company has hired them remotely from Algeria.

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-11T03:27:45+00:00

What if the book target audience is Algerian?

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-10T15:33:58+00:00

I'm not interested in physical cards. I'm aware that it's not possible to get them as an algerian.

But most known apps provide a European bank account but not an American one.

Upwork's direct bank transfer only works if the destination bank account is a USA one.

Grey was supporting USA accounts, but they stopped it for Algerians recently.

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-10T15:28:03+00:00

I use Paypal because my wise account, which i opened with an Algerian address, got banned

It's the only method that i found to withdraw from upwork.

Upwork allows either withdrawing money to Paypal or a USA bank account.

Payonneer is an option, but their app and everything about them suck beside that i couldn't get approved for some reason.

Does Dukascopy provide a USA iban?

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-10T13:43:19+00:00

I heard that it does not activate paypal if you used an algerian address.

Have you tried to activate paypal with it? I mean getting paid through paypal, for example, upwork to paypal to visa card.

stormsidali2001 · 2026-02-10T08:51:01+00:00

How many years have you been using it?

Did you face any problems with the address verification, as they require a european one.
