[@matiasvalor01]

After a couple videos I want to say I appreciate your value focused approach. The Tailwind video was more "fun" to watch but these others look just as valuable. Well done.

[@victorbuikem]

Funny thing just started building my sass out too

[@perfectbase]

Cool! When you have something to share, show it to us. Feel free to reach me on Twitter too! Good luck to us!

[@TruthseekerGM]

You will do great iA.. You are honest and following a very clean method. You have a clear vision what you want to achieve. It will be a great inspiration for people like us who wants to build up a saas business for themselves but didn't got the courage yet.. 🙂👍

[@perfectbase]

Wow! Thank you for the encouraging words! 😊 I’m really glad you feel that way! Because I also feel that I am getting a lot of courage and motivation from all of you! Thank you!

[@garudkardnyaneshwar3426]

[@perfectbase]

Thank you for watching! ☺️ Glad you are enjoying the journey! I’m also excited to build it!

[@developerpranav]

Really admire you sharing your execution process and your thoughts in the public! Very insightful, and I got to learn a lot about things like idea validation. Keep the videos coming, and all the best for Edge Store!

[@perfectbase]

Thank you! ☺️

[@bombrman1994]

I’m working on my own thing now, and it has a nice market that I can tap into.

[@EnglishwithNate]

this is awesome. I'm just a beginner but I'm excited and inspired by you!

[@perfectbase]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!! The project is making some good progress recently. Soon I’ll release another video update. 😉

[@jonathanhammond5563]

Wishing you the best of luck, bud! Love your tailwind CSS ideo

[@perfectbase]

Thank you!!

[@px8977]

Turned on notifications and waiting for the next video update on your journey!

[@perfectbase]

Thank you!! 😊 The next startup video will come out tonight! (9PM JST) Hope you like it!

[@upByNune]

Hope all goes well with your product! i too just launched my first SaaS product as a solo founder. But tbh I think I am going to take on the investor route to get the product scaled quickly because I have too many features I would like to integrate in such a short amount of time hahaha. I've tried to do it all myself but for the sake of the business and the potential I would rather accelerate the development process. Somehow I'll try my best to not lose any equity in this investment but who knows? hahaa Good luck my boy!

[@perfectbase]

Awesome man!! Good luck on your journey! Yeah! Taking VC is defined the way to go if you wanna grow quickly! Hope everything works out for you!

[@sahnb]

I will also read those books that you have mentioned in your vlogs, follow your vlogs and journey, and offer my best wishes for your startup. I will make sure to watch all of your vlogs from now on.

[@perfectbase]

Thank you a lot for the support! I really appreciate it! Hope you all the best!!

[@perfectbase]

Thank you!!

[@aldo_negri]

Nice Video! I’m going to subscribe now. Are you Brazilian or some like that?

[@perfectbase]

Thank you for subscribing!!! 😊 Yes! I’m Brazilian but living in Japan.

[@Vladik614]

I think it's a cool idea the AWS S3 setup is very tedious work 😂

[@perfectbase]

It is, right!? Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

[@Vladik614]

@@perfectbase totally! Every single downside of S3 described in video is true. Especially when it comes to security stuff. It may be very difficult for beginners. Like your videos hope this idea will work or at least you get good insights on making your ideas work 👍🏻

[@AbhishekKumar-in6mc]

Best of luck man.

[@perfectbase]

Thanks!!

[@webdev.eduardo]

About the logo, you can buy from a fivver freelancer, its mutch more cheaper. Ghost can also be a good option for building a landing page. Also smart move, asking an investor for money is equal to sell your soul, you will never get rid of that weight.

[@perfectbase]

Yeah! I was thinking about that too.. But the thing is that, from a freelancer, there is a chance that I won’t be satisfied with the result.. but from this AI service, I can see the result before, and only pay if I like it.. so I’m kind of undecided here..

[@perfectbase]

I never tried Ghost. Thanks for the suggestion. Will definitely take a look at it!

[@victorbuikem]

For the website builder you could try out versoly

[@allenjones8208]

This is nice. How different would it be from cloudinary?

[@perfectbase]

Thanks for the comment! Yeah… I’ve received other comments on my other posts telling me about cloudinary. I’m actually releasing a new video later tonight (Japan time) where I talk more in depth about the idea. And I also mention cloudinary in the video. I haven’t used it yet.. still need to try it out. If you are a cloudinary user, after you see the video, I would love to get your opinion!

[@igor9silva]

Hi, I just started watching your videos. A little late. How is the project going? I'm a potential customer and love the whole idea. What's your long-term vision? After solving image upload & hosting, then what?

[@perfectbase]

Hi! Thanks a lot for watching! The project is still in a closed pre-alpha stage. I’m trying to focus more on it this month to make it ready for an open beta soon. I plan to make it very easy to use for some specific frameworks. I have some ideas for the vision, but I’m planning to try to get feedback and find what people need to try to improve over time. Its gonna be a very community driven service.

[@XEQUTE]

images? what do you mean by that?

[@perfectbase]

Hi! Sorry if I didn’t explain the idea well enough. You would use it if you want to build an app that uses images in some way.. Maybe your users need to upload profile pictures, or upload food images for a restaurant website, etc… I’ll be releasing the second video of the journey this week. I explain the idea in more detail there.

[@crugg]

About the pre-paying part: What would you do if you decide to not release the product? That would be a massive loss. You'd need to refund it for everyone, but also still sit on payment processing fees etc.

[@perfectbase]

I wish there were that many people pre-paying the service to cause me a problem.. 😆 But the truth is that I actually didn’t even charge them. I used a strategy where you say you are going to charge but you just see who is checking it, so you can validate the idea and find the people that are actually interested.

[@gabrielfono844]

So funny Currently building a social network for engineers and entrepreneurs

[@perfectbase]

Nice! When you have something, show it to us!

[@treyrader]

dude we are on the same wavelength lol

[@cmaxkratos]

Massa

[@guidobit]

Wait.. So you are launching an s3 service build with s3?

[@perfectbase]

😂 yeah.. I think you could say that! But you could also say that Vercel launched a lambda service built with lambda. I would be abstracting most of the infrastructure and code setup to make it work.

[@syedbilalchand1766]

Is your project open source?

[@hakuna_matata_hakuna]

there's an influencer doing someting like this he calls it uloadthing , watch out for that

[@perfectbase]

Haha!! Yeah, I know! You might want to watch this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2KXZZSMjbmqhsU There was no one when I started, now suddenly it feels kind of crowded.. But it’s ok.. I’m still getting a lot of experience as a first startup!
