broke college student to running my own apps, here's the stack no rich parents, no investors. i learned a few apps and started shipping: 1. Claude: an AI assistant I think through ideas with, it even helps me build my apps 2. checkvibe.dev: a security scanner for websites, paste a link, get a report of what to fix in 30 seconds 3. Railway: a hosting service that keeps my apps' behind-the-scenes machinery running, zero headaches 4. Cursor: an AI code editor, I describe what I want in plain English and it builds it with me 5. Vercel: a hosting service, it puts my apps live on the internet with one click if you're young and broke but want to build, this is your shortcut. tools first, momentum second. save this. follow for how i got my first users 👇 #foundertok #buildwithai #indiehacker #startuptools #sidehustle
