How would you build it in a most simple way - “nocode” tools allowed, but price is an issue, since you don't have any sales.</p> <p>Does this stack makes sense, how would you improve it?:</p> <ol> <li>static site generator, like 11ty (no React, since i dont know it). </li> <li>Firebase for user authentication (and gated content?).</li> <li>Paddle for payments (Stripe does not help with EU sales/VAT tax etc), but does it integrate with Firebase easily? How about Netlify?</li> <li>Jamstack search library - seen a few of those here.</li> <li>Video content stream/download also from firebase?</li> </ol> <p>I'm sure i'm missing something. But more importantly, could it be simpler? (aside from memberstack or gumroad)</p> saas help beginners javascript
