Hello, World! Introducing PyNuxt

Building a SaaS product from scratch is hard. Not because shipping features is hard, but because everything else gets in the way first. You need authentication, billing, emails, admin panels, database migrations, CI/CD, deployments, monitoring — and that's before you've written a single line of your actual product.

PyNuxt was born out of frustration with that setup tax. We kept starting new projects and spending the first two or three weeks rebuilding the same foundations. Every time. So we decided to build it once, build it properly, and make it the starting point for everything we do.

The stack is deliberate: Nuxt on the frontend for its excellent developer experience and SSR out of the box, FastAPI on the backend for its speed and clean Python typing, PostgreSQL for reliability, and DigitalOcean via Terraform for reproducible infrastructure. Everything is production-ready from day one — not "works on my machine" ready, but actually deployed, monitored, and maintainable.

We've also designed PyNuxt with AI-assisted development in mind. The project structure is clear and predictable. The conventions are consistent. Every part of the stack is documented so that you — or your AI pair programmer — can jump in and contribute without spending a week learning the codebase.

This blog is where we'll share what we're building, what we're learning, and where we're taking PyNuxt next. If you're building something with it, we'd love to hear about it.
