Hey everyone! I'm diving into building two SaaS-style projects, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm more of a UX/product person than a hardcore developer, and I've been coding with React, Supabase, and Stripe to get my ideas up and running. Both apps are live now, but after integrating Stripe and trying to create proper admin tools, things have started breaking pretty quickly.
Here's a quick overview of my projects:
**NumoraQ** - A finance tracker focused on cryptocurrency. It includes a financial coach powered by GPT, and has features like net worth tracking and a gamified system.
- Issues: Stripe upgrades don't sync well, RLS policies causing admin access problems, and lack of robust testing setups.

**AscendOSRS** - A tracker tailored for OSRS players with features like gear goals and AI gear upgrade suggestions.
- Issues: No testing infrastructure and changes are being made live without testing.

I'm looking for advice on a few things: any help integrating Supabase and Stripe more smoothly, tips for building a functional CMS (instead of my makeshift panels), guidance on testing logic for roles, and just general advice on how to keep pushing forward when things get tough. I'm constantly learning and would really appreciate any pointers or resources! Thanks!

If you're struggling with Supabase and Stripe, consider checking for community resources or forums focused on those tools. Often, there are many tutorials or articles that can speed up your understanding. Also, keep it simple; prioritize fixing the most critical issues first, and build up your knowledge gradually!
I get that launching your projects can feel chaotic, especially when you're handling both development and admin tasks. It might be worth trying to hire a freelancer for specific parts of your projects, especially for the CMS setup and Stripe integration since those can be tricky! Just remember, it’s okay to seek help as you learn—no need to do it all alone! Good luck!
That’s a great idea! I’ll start looking for freelancers who can assist with those aspects while I focus on learning more.
Learning as you go is super valuable, but don’t forget the importance of foundational knowledge. Check out Claude Code and MCP for your Supabase/Stripe integration—they can really simplify the process for you. And don’t stress too much about the budget; there are plenty of free resources available as well!
I appreciate that! I’ll definitely look into those options and see how they can help.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll make sure to look for more resources and tackle the problems step by step.
