Build in public: the $0-to-launch stack for side projects
By James Brown · Published · Updated
Ship a site this weekend. The minimal stack for builders who want their own distribution.

Social platforms rent you an audience. A website gives you one you own. Here's the minimal stack:
Domain + hosting
Hostinger bundles hosting and an AI site builder. Static sites like this one can also deploy free on Netlify or Cloudflare Pages.
Security
Use a password manager, turn on 2FA everywhere, and use a VPN like NordVPN on networks you don't control.
Ship it
Post the link. Ask for feedback. Iterate. The retro-futurists were right: the future gets built by people who show up.
