Just wrapped up AI Imagix — a credit-based AI image generation platform I built solo. 🎨
Full-stack build: Next.js + TypeScript + Tailwind on the frontend, Clerk for auth, Drizzle ORM + Neon PostgreSQL on the backend, Stripe for credit packs, and Pollinations.ai powering the actual generation.
What's inside:
Full dashboard — Generate, History, Favorites, Collections, Gallery
Role-protected admin panel with Recharts analytics
Glassmorphism-styled auth pages
Stripe-wired credit system, ready for production
Biggest lessons were in the deployment weeds — chasing down env variable mismatches, a Next.js prerender crash from useSearchParams() outside Suspense, and a Clerk webhook sync gap that only showed up once I moved off localhost. The unglamorous debugging is where most of the real learning happened.

One of the more fun websites we’ve built at Formeta.studio
Dulce Oro started with a brand we built from the ground up, and the website had to carry that same thinking into every interaction.
We built the site architecture around the brand story, wrote the entire website, created a scalable CMS for their US store locations, built a custom age gate, integrated accessibility support, and connected the shop directly to purchasing.
There’s a lot happening underneath what looks like a fairly simple spirits website.
And honestly, that’s our favourite kind of work.
The finished site feels calm and considered, but there’s a proper system holding it all together.
Here’s a little walkthrough of what we built ↓
Fantastic!!
