Nick Launches rebuilds backend after reaching 21k users
Nick Launches said the product outgrew its rushed May backend at 21k users and moved to a cleaner NextJS setup using dirstarter, better-auth, and oRPC. Week 11 updates listed 85 live launches and new directory filters, making it a concrete post-MVP refactor case rather than a launch demo.
