So happy to have been a part of this!

[@TraversyMedia]

Great to have you on :)

[@conventionalfusion6416]

Nice experience meeting you

[@usmanabdurehman97]

Man I just recently found your channel like 4 days ago and here you are 😁. Your teaching style is really great. I watched your netlify deployment video and I got what I wasn't getting for a looong while

[@hernandrew]

Awesome seeing you on this channel! I had the pleasure of attending a workshop you led at GCT in 2015!

[@JamesQQuick]

@@hernandrew Oh wow, HEY!!!! That's so cool :)

[@arjundubey6735]

1. Think about General Idea. Identify target audience. 2. What is your personal goal? 3. Give yourself deadlines. 4. Get someone to make it accountable. Announce it on twitter. 5. Focus on MVP! 6. Breakdown big tasks and Focus on one thing at a time. Use trello or github projects to maintain a list. 7. Dont be afraid to ask help 8. Dont be afraid to watch tutorial. As long as you're learning skills. 9. Sketch it out! 10. Bring people with complementary skills. 11. Ship out MVP and be ready to change things based on feedback

[@cryptofxindia]

What is MVP?? BTW thankyou for this...

[@scottvoyles]

Minimum Viable Product - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product

[@cryptofxindia]

Thankyou arjun and Scott😊

[@redvoltron1937]

@@cryptofxindia MVP is Most Valuable Player, usually goes to Michael Jordan

[@cascadengineering]

There is also Proof of Concept stage (POC) - the raw product that more or less solves the major pain point of your audience while MVP is a more complete production-ready product that can be shown to investors. POC - 1-2 weeks MVP - ~1-2 months

[@pranavkastury9610]

Just when I am planning to start my own react project, this just drops in. Traversy media knows what's going on in your head!

[@JamesQQuick]

Now you're ready to go!

[@kodeDev]

I TOTALLY AGREE! I JUST LEARNED HOOKS, CONTEXT API AND REDUX. I'M SO READY TO BUILD SOMETHING!!! ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS VIDEO!!! RIGHT ON TIME!!!

[@tomhames6884]

This is great because so many tutorials exist on the technical aspects like syntax, implementation etc. But planning and building an app is something that I don't see much of and need help with. Looking forward to watching this!

[@zana9092]

This is exactly what I needed, I don't know where to start and how to plan my project ideas. Great video!

[@SoftwareJournal]

This was really good information especially the MVP part. A lot of developers like it to be perfect but the most important part of an application is getting feedback from the end-user and rebuilding or modifying from there.

[@swapnilwadhankar983]

This channel is getting better and better each day......Thank you so much brad 🙏❤️

Brad, you have telepathic powers. I wanted a video on tips to build projects and this pops in. Love your content !!

[@JamesQQuick]

haha the timing here was perfect!

[@yoyobu1666]

Every day this channel becomes more and more interesting. Thanks Brad!

[@dannyhellavibes2108]

Thanks a lot. Love the honesty about starting and not finishing projects. I think we all do that.

[@legendarytamilan7361]

Sir you are helping your friends in youtube to create video for their improvement. Super Brad your awesome

[@evert-arias]

Excellent video! Thanks James, and Brad for bringing this great content.

[@truejohnsolo]

I can totally relate to being able to easily implement a design but feeling incompetent at coming up with my own designs.. Like 100% can relate to that.

[@abe10]

Yeah totally. Usually I jump into websites such as Behance and Dribbble to find some inspiration.

[@truejohnsolo]

@@abe10 yeah that's a good idea definitely. Check out front end mentor too. There are a bunch of designs to choose from and they provide you with all the SVGs and assets you'd need thus making it more like a real work environment where you'd in theory be supplied with all the design materials up front. I did many of those and it was great practice for me to develop a good workflow with my toolkit of choice, which was in this case React.

[@brianevans4]

This gave me a lot of inspiration. I'm going to try complete a project. Thank you for the tips! I think your point about an accountability group is the biggest one for me

[@ashleysouffrant1320]

I’ve learned a significant amount of knowledge on this! Not that I didn’t know but it was well organized Thanks Again

I use Droper Paper, and Github issues for Full stack web development, and sometimes Google sheets for testing when things are complex to test

[@DineshkumarPuli]

This is very good information. Especially to get out of 'tutorial hell' that Brad had discussed a while back. Thank you guys!

[@josue-cedeno]

So cool to see you on Traversy! You're awesome!

[@blakestansell2785]

Focusing on MVP is extremely good advice. I've gotten overwhelmed a few times by all I wanted to include in a project.

[@ademineshat]

Very cool! Thanks to you and Brad 😊

[@eaglei2505]

this is something i really struggle with. for the life of me, i cant sit down for a minute and think about pseudo code, i'd just rather start building and think as i go. this never works out.

[@nobytes2]

pseudo code is really meant for algorithm ideas without writing actual code. For an app idea just use plain English. App should do this when it launches. If a user clicks here it should do this, and so on. The main idea when designing an app is to have clear steps, not necessarily pseudo code.

[@eaglei2505]

No Bytes I don’t do that either. Lol

[@chadbaker9514]

No Bytes like what do you mean

[@nobytes2]

@@chadbaker9514 I mean for small projects just plan out the big overall points in trello or whatever you like, it doesn't have to down to every single detail, but it needs to be clear on what you want to accomplish. I wouldn't sit down and write down pseudo code for that part though. For actual projects best thing for do is an actual SDD software design document.

Telling people you about to start a project won't be a best idea... It makes you feel you've already finished the project whilst you've not even started the project. Tell, people about it when you are in the testing phase.
