- UI Styling: Tailwind CSS – A utility-first CSS framework for responsive and modern UI.
- Authentication & Database: Supabase – An open-source Firebase alternative for authentication, database management, and real-time updates.
- Backend: Next.js API routes – Eliminates the need for a separate backend, making API handling smoother.
