I got tired of the constant churn in the modern web ecosystem and missed the simplicity of the "good old 2010 days" (Request → Loader → HTML). I assembled a little repo boring-stack because I wanted a point to start from focused purely on shipping features fast and sustainably, rather learning a new framework every six months and handing all the complexity of cool new tech. I am sooo fatigued by now. Goal: maximize developer velocity by using "boring," stable technology that lets me focus entirely on building value and making money, rather than fighting with your tools and throwing away knowledge with every new tool. I want to focus on features.

I used React Router v7 (SSR) to escape the soft vendor lock-in of Next.js, combined with a "Postgres for everything" approach (Data, Auth, and Background Jobs). I drop the API layer and treat frontend and backend as one unit. An added benefit of this boring, explicit architecture (like using routes.ts over file-system magic) is that it happens to be incredibly readable for coding agents, allowing them to handle the boilerplate effectively while you focus on the hard logic.

I have created the repo for myself but thought I share it with you guys in case that anyone feels the same fatigue and needs a starting point :-)
