# ⛽ I Built a Cross-Platform Fuel Finder with React & Supabase: The Indie Dev Journey
An indie developer created a cross-platform fuel finder app using React and Supabase to streamline the process of locating fuel stations during road trips. The app features fuel logging, trip cost estimation, and multi-country support, all while avoiding high costs associated with Google Maps.
