Show HN: Subscription Magician – Subscription tracker built with RSC

[bgdnandrew]

Hi HN! I've built an app that I really needed. Maybe it can help you too.

Subscription Magician is a free subscription tracker I've built using Next.js 14 with React Server Components.

I got tired of paying random fees every month for services I was barely using. A few months ago, I realized that I was spending over $40 a month on dev tools I never actually used, streaming services I forgot about, apps I downloaded once - this sort of stuff. How much are you unknowingly spending on forgotten subscriptions?

I figured others might be facing the same problem, so I decided to build a solution. But, to be honest, I mainly viewed this project as an opportunity to get hands-on experience with the major changes introduced last year in Next.js 13. We all know it's not a good idea to replace tools that work perfectly for you, just for the sake of experimenting with the newest, shiniest framework. Since this was a personal side project, I was able to afford the luxury of transforming this app, that solves a real problem for me, into a learning opportunity.

Subscription Magician is 100% free to use, and while there's still a lot to improve, the core functionality is there.

I would love to hear your feedback as I continue to work on it.
