What Backend to use?
So many app builders suggest using supabase or similar for good reason. They do it all, and very well too. I built 2 apps that worked well on supabase. The problem can be the price, if you're just starting out and trying to figure out if your app has legs before you have the capital to find this yourself. There are cheaper free options that you can use that are just as easy to setup and use when you're vibe coding and prototyping. If you're interested in how the options play out, I could post my thoughts in detail for you to decide on what is best for your app.

What are you trying to ship right now?
If you’re here, you probably have something that’s been “almost done” for too long. Reply with: • What you’re trying to ship • What’s blocking the last 10% • What “done” would look like (even if it’s small) No backstory required. Ugly answers are welcome. This is just about getting unstuck.

I just came out of a long "last 10%" stretch, which is why this group exists. What I was trying to ship: A small eat out roulette app to help people decide where to eat without fighting their partner. What blocked the last 10%: The technical backend for the app, database mostly. I tried Supabase, which is great, but became expensive and was probably overkill for the simple data I needed. What “done” ended up meaning: I fought with it for a while but in the end decided to use my own postgresql instance on a hosted server, bc it gave me the flexibility to get the data I needed without a lot of overhead. Works great! If you’re earlier in the loop than this, that’s normal. This space exists because I don’t want to forget how hard that part is. If I can help you avoid some of the unnecessary friction I went through, that’s the point of this place.
How this group works
This group has a simple loop. 1. Pick one app or feature that’s “basically done.” 2. Name the specific thing blocking the last 10%. 3. Make it smaller than it feels. 4. Push it to done. 5. Share what shipped (even if it’s messy or private). That’s it. You don’t need to justify your process. You don’t need to rebuild everything. You don’t need permission to ship something imperfect. If you’re stuck, post what’s blocking you (screenshots or short blurbs help a ton). If you shipped, post what moved. We finish things here.

Welcome to The Last 10%
This is a small space for finishing things. If you have an app that’s “basically done” but somehow never ships, you’re in the right place. The only goal here is to push real work across the finish line — quietly, practically, and without turning it into a big production. More soon. For now, just know: done beats perfect.
