Hi there,

Thank you for the kind words, you understood the product very well. Your suggestions got me thinking, I didn't realize Auth0 was popular among indie hackers, as to me it was more like a large enterprise solution. I also decided to release second version of FasterNode, this time utilising PostgreSQL as the DB.

You are also right about the fact that I should mention which pages are already built, so thank you very much for your suggestions, this helps me make a better copy and understand what direction I should take with the project.

It's really easy to use but limited to nodejs and Javascript. It comes with an ai assistant, true autocomplete (like you would on vscode or sublime text), and many many features. Compared to Glitch the user experience and code editor are much better. I could go on and on about how it is different, but I guess you could give it a try and see for yourself what are the differences to you, depending on the way you use the tools from competitors.

You're absolutely right! Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that runs on the server-side. While Node.js itself isn't directly used for front-end development, it can work seamlessly with various front-end frameworks and libraries. Popular options include React, Vue.js, Angular, etc.

Thank you ever so much Jogi, this means a lot to me. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them here or on twitter.

yeah you should probably do that. Best of luck in your search.

Just out of curiosity, Why set up keywords for boilerplates? Are you looking for free ones, and if so have you found any on HN?

Hello Diego,

Thank you for your question. I'd say there are many differences between FasterNode and Gravity. In therms of stack however they are pretty similar (Nodejs, express, mysql ...), with Gravity being more bloated and offering more functionalities out of the box which might be a good thing or not depending on what you are looking for in a boilerplate, FasterNode focuses more on simplicity and ease of use, keeping the codebase as minimal and bloat free as possible.

Another key differentiator is that Gravity uses React, but FasterNode does not.

There is also a huge difference in price: FasterNode only costs $99, Gravity on the other hand costs between $595 and $2995.
