founder of a 5-person startup. we use like 20+ tools and it gets crazy.

our current stack:

  • Linear – issue tracking (worth every penny)
  • Notion – docs + wikis
  • Slack – comms
  • GitHub – code
  • Vercel – deploy
  • PostHeg – analytics (privacy-focused!)
  • Supabase – database

spending ~$500/mo total. worth it for a team.

what tools are you using? looking to optimize 🔧

student budget over here 😅

but i will say: GitHub Copilot is worth the $10/mo for students.

literally learned so much from seeing what it suggests.

for free alternatives:

  • Tabnine is free for students
  • Figma free tier is enough
  • Linear has a free startup program!
