Gadget

Building modern web applications often feels like assembling a complex puzzle with pieces scattered across different tools and services. You manage infrastructure, write boilerplate code for things like authentication and APIs, juggle databases, and worry about scaling and security – all before you even tackle your unique idea. It's time-consuming and pulls your focus away from what truly matters: creating value for your users.
