Mate you are a legend, so many tutorials I watched focused so much around vercel, supabase etc and not actually setting up the whole process, your tutorial is the first one that I successfully connected to my own locally hosted postgres DB. Thanks so much.

The way you explain every step of the way is just brilliant too.

This is fantastic! I've been looking for such bite-site tutorials no longer than 15 minutes because that's just how much my brain can handle. State-of-the-art tech stack and clear cut explanation, are you kidding me. Your channel is way too underrated! I sure will build saas with you, Ethan!!

Haven't been a dev very long and I've been wanting to try and practice some fullstack skills to better communicate with the backend devs on my team. This was a great tutorial to help me get started and I appreciate the time and effort to show both the /app directory way and the /pages way! Thank you!
