Building a side project

Along side starting this blog one of the things I am doing in 2025 is building a little SaaS side project. The project is going to be little budgeting app. There are a ton of them out there but none of them fit what I want so I figured why not make my own for myself and my friends and improve my dev skills. Another inspiration for this is Internet of bugs, I enjoy his videos and watched enough to push to try this.

The stack I have decided to go with golang, templ, tailwind, and htmx (GOTTH). From what I can tell it should just enough of what I need without being as overly complicated as a full js stack (node.js, react). Also for work I am in js land all day, might be nice to work on different stack in my off time, look at things from another prespective.

The thing I am looking at next is authentication, how to do it, how much I should actually build from scratch and what libraries I should use.
