PageForge
description :
A full SaaS landing page builder — users can visually create, customize, and publish landing pages with a drag-and-drop editor. Complete with authentication, Stripe billing, A/B testing, and a publishing pipeline.
key features :
- Visual drag-and-drop page editor with real-time preview
- Stripe integration for subscription billing and plan management
- Auth.js authentication with multiple providers
- A/B testing engine to compare page variants
- Publishing pipeline — edit, preview, publish to custom subdomains
- State management with Zustand + XState for complex editor flows
- Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL for type-safe data access
How I built it :
- Zustand + XState combo — Zustand for global UI state, XState for the complex editor state machine (drag, resize, select, undo/redo). Keeps editor logic deterministic and testable.
- Drizzle ORM over Prisma — needed raw SQL escape hatches for the A/B testing analytics queries without sacrificing type safety everywhere else.
- Custom publishing pipeline — pages render to static HTML at publish time, served from a CDN. No SSR cost for published pages.
- Stripe webhooks for billing state — all plan changes flow through webhooks, not client-side. Prevents race conditions between payment and access.

FlowChat
description :
A production-grade Slack alternative built for real-time team communication. Features channels, direct messages, threads, and full-text search — all running on WebSockets with Redis pub/sub for horizontal scaling.
key features :
- Real-time messaging with Socket.IO and Redis pub/sub
- Channels, direct messages, and threaded conversations
- PostgreSQL full-text search across messages and channels
- JWT authentication with refresh token rotation
- Turborepo monorepo — shared types and utilities across packages
- Dockerized development and deployment pipeline
How I built it :
- Redis pub/sub for horizontal scaling — WebSocket connections are sticky to one server, Redis broadcasts events across all instances so messages reach every connected client.
- PostgreSQL full-text search over Elasticsearch — simpler ops, good enough for team-scale search, and avoids syncing data between two stores.
- JWT with refresh token rotation — short-lived access tokens (15min) + one-time-use refresh tokens. Compromised tokens auto-expire without a token blacklist.
- Turborepo monorepo — shared TypeScript types between client and server eliminate an entire class of contract bugs at the API boundary.
