You are not my average tech bro. you became fancy tech bro.

[@HantuKepalaBuntung]

Big respect. You’re talking about the whole process in reverse, making it look like it was a smooth and easy journey. But I know it wasnt, making all those decisions on what to use what to have, etc, while pushing yourself to keep moving forward must be hard and uncomfortable.

[@Bob-bl1ey]

Build your own custom backend in Java, best choice for backend, will never die

[@ArchitecturalAesthetics2046]

You're an inspiration bro. Keep going. Keep sharing.

[@cristianfigueredo566]

You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me. - React Native

[@YourAverageTechBro]

Lmfaooo react native catching strays

[@and0v]

I love your videos! So much value and thank you for sharing revenuecat! 😸 I also do fullstack web, but I was wondering if you’ve ever considered a low-code/no-code tool such as flutter flow? As you value speed and one repos for 3 apps. Do you think flutter-flow is a doable technology for the frontend for mini apps in prod?

[@YourAverageTechBro]

I use retool for a couple internal admin tools but haven’t played enough with flutter flow to have a strong opinion but I have heard pretty good things about it!

How do you validate your ideas?

[@YourAverageTechBro]

I don’t personally validate my ideas. I choose to build products in markets that are already validated and have existing competitors/products so they do all of the validation for me.

[@Energism]

Can you explain your saas in detail like how your app communicates to supabase. I mean how you trigger edge functions from the triggers or direct command from mobile app also how much it costs to run supabase in detail for realtime and edgefunctions. Also if it is self hosted or using serverless PAID plan or free plan.

[@YourAverageTechBro]

Triggered directly in mobile app and on the paid plan on their hosted version. There are a few webhook triggers primarily for metric tracking (tracking user sign ups) but nothing special. It’s pretty simple.

[@smart0758]

Have you tried using nextjs API with the Expo codebase? Will that be better than copy-paste app logic?

[@YourAverageTechBro]

I haven't. I built out the mobile app first w/ supabase backend first and then built the NextJS application second, so for now it works and I don't want to mess things up for now haha

[@MrAvelino2010]

@@YourAverageTechBro sure, if works don´t touch

[@sadiqqqqqq]

you’re the 🐐 bro - do you have a discord community? I think it would be great to have a place for us with the same goals and ambitions in this field

[@YourAverageTechBro]

I don’t! Maybe some time in the future.

[@tananga_dev]

Maybe Flutter next time?

[@YourAverageTechBro]

Ehhh no plans for now. I’m more comfortable with react so sticking with react native for now probably!

[@par_zar]

as a programming beginner who want to start career in IT field now, do you recommend to study web development than iOS native development? i want to be a indie dev.

[@YourAverageTechBro]

Well I think you can learn both in the long run. But for which one to learn first I’d say if you want to build b2c apps do mobile and if you want b2b do web dev.

[@MrJustJib]

What’s the difference between react js and next js, like why does Marc Lou say he uses both when you have to use either one

[@YourAverageTechBro]

nextjs is essentially built on top of react. it's react with some additional features (server side rendering is a big advantage of nextjs)

[@mrsecretstatus9999]

I am little confuse Between React native vs react native expo

[@CodeZakk]

When you build with supabase at the back and next on the front. Do you pay for both front and back?

[@YourAverageTechBro]

Yes you pay for both front and back. Supabase doesn’t track front end vs back end usage. They just track total usage and charges accordingly for total usage

[@lazy_bug4246]

​@@YourAverageTechBro Completely, unrelated but which tech domain do you think is the most in demand right now,I have done mostly web development With MERN but I don't like it and I want to switch.

[@tiptrcks3960]

​@@lazy_bug4246 Just learn react native bro.. you will get tons of opportunities for jobs having react native under your belt + recently react native introduced new arch, and that update is a banger, huge performance upgrades you wont regret learning it! Why I am saying all that!? I was in same boat like you 2 months ago, but then started learning RN and is all fun and good now, keep learning...

[@mmzzzmeemee]

what you do you use on the backend? express?

[@YourAverageTechBro]

Supabase edge functions

[@mmzzzmeemee]

​@@YourAverageTechBro a yeah, i did see that but i thought you were using it for more DB-related stuff i'm imagining you opted for this for ease of use/iteration speed? do you plan on using a more dedicated backend?

[@ReuelTeodoro]

Is montee-supabase an express app or something?

[@YourAverageTechBro]

Nope it is supabase edge functions

[@RatherBeCancelledThanHandled]

Based

[@funscape23]

wow
