Depending on exactly what you're building, all of these things sounds like one VPS. A bit of maintenance/security burden managing the machine if you're not used to it but as the others have said: Next.js can be selfhosted, unless you need the serverless/edge stuff; then I would go to Cloudflare Workers.

Plunk will run you $1.5 every time you want to send out an email ($0.001/email * 1500)

Plunk is pretty much Amazon SES + an open source tool turned into a product. It's selfhostable but if you prefer software intended to be selfhosted then Sendy might work well for you too. Issue is Sendy costs $70~ upfront.

Not the person you're replying to - but in my experience, it can be easier to put the SVG in a component by itself to make changes to it wherever it may be used by just navigating to the path of the SVG itself rather than digging up the actual component it's used in.

There are very minor differences between what's a valid SVG and what's valid JSX, and web apps like this one will often offer to translate those fields for you as well as add the rest of the "component stuff" to make it copy-pastable.

100% this, it just makes it easier to throw something up on a Worker that may need a little bit more advanced logic or routing.

Hono is fantastic and I will always recommend it to anyone who'll listen to me talk about it. For me, the speed doesn't really matter - most of my apps are deployed to Workers - but the developer experience and the ease of using Hono is in my experience unparalleled.

I agree entirely, it's important to remember you're not alone in the struggle and it is 100% not personal. I started logging the jobs I've applied for and how they're going with a slightly modified version of the Notion template[0] to track what titles and companies I get best the responses from to help track the numbers.

Rezi looks awesome and I love pages with personality ("Total Users (this is annoying to update)"). Giving this a try now.

Update: I've been moving my resume over and I love how well made the website is, even little things like selecting a state and having the cities localized. This is really cool!
