The App YOU or I Could Have Built... ShipFast

Shipfast Appsumo Deal - geni.us/shipfast
In this video, I'll share my thoughts on Indie Hacking, and the superpower that we devs have though never use.
We code for our employers but never for our own business ideas that could generate extra income monthly.
I'll show you one project that I found quite fascinating that generates the creator of it $50k per month, AND it's something that you or I could have built, probably in a few weeks time.

Selling shovels during a gold rush.

[@TylerN-ce6to]

THIS. The next fad will be a SvelteKit boiler and to a larger extent, AI-related "boilerplates" that get people started on their "million-dollar idea" (HA)

[@ShailPM]

if i had a penny for every time some clown said that... You're still not selling shovels in his example I promise you.

[@Warpgatez]

I’m not going to lie. I was stuck on the hamster wheel for app development. Marc Lou gave me the motivation to push through that and make a SaaS. In the process of making that SaaS I ran into another issue. Paused that SaaS to make another SaaS that solves that issue. That’s how it works! Find an issue in your life you can solve with software. Solve it. Ship it.

[@codewithkin]

Yessir! Good luck building your SaaS! I'd love to hear your story as well

[@blasttrash]

how much money you make so far?

[@Warpgatez]

@@blasttrash haven’t shipped the SaaS yet. Been caught up making a few web applications for some local businesses. Work on the SaaS in my free time between my full time job in the aircraft maintenance business, and making web applications on the side.

I'm currently working on a product that is the result of some issues I encountered when I was a freshmen in college.Problably the biggest project yet in my life. I don't have ressources to hire devs for the App so I went to learn how to code then work on it. I should launch my MVP by december 2024. it's very exiting!

[@cguser]

Thank you travis as always, very sincere, giving us useful ideas and things we can learn from being a software developer. It's all about problem solving, either fixing bugs or solving pain points from users, all the way to making a business.

[@cody_codes_youtube]

This is cool. Thanks for the run down, and constantly makes me feel like I need to finish one of my products! Haha.

[@kolawoleagoro6893]

Great Video Travis, Very Motivating👏

[@liquidmobius]

Would you consider doing a video on Tauri? It's basically Electron but written in Rust, and it's extensible if your write your own plug-in APIs in Rust too. It's not as mature or well-known as Electron, and since the trend seems to be towards Rust, maybe some spotlight on it might help bring some contributors. Thanks!

[@bhp9415]

there is a little bit of video in your Ad....

[@goodtimeswerehad]

This video really resonated with me, and made me a subscriber. I also follow Marc and have been impressed and encouraged by his journey. I feel like I am the person you described here. Time to prioritize my day tasks. Appreciate it, Travis

[@bhargavkumar]

Totally agree with your point

[@daniamaya]

Do you have a video going over the twitter accounts you get inspiration from?

[@paulofreireslaw]

This is a fantastic idea, but I'm not a huge fan of either DB option. Either I'm locked into Supabase as a service (I know they have an open-source ORM), or I'm locked into the NoSQL server MongoDB. Would love to see the Auth JS option opened up to more traditional (SQL) DBs.

[@mohammedanas8637]

Not sure why , it feels like a marketing video to me...

[@FranciscoMarcosMilhomemAbreu]

It is. He is wearing a hat.

[@kuba4556]

​@@FranciscoMarcosMilhomemAbreu What does it mean that he is wearing a hat? It's something secret for his videos to say: "Hey this video is a cap and i am doing it for money" or what? :D

[@FranciscoMarcosMilhomemAbreu]

@@kuba4556, I see that people wearing a cap indoor to make videos generally are doing some digital marketing content. They have the same style.

[@sideone3581]

This should Not be the case when it comes to language and fundamentals specific things or something like : JS libraries and Frameworks , and nowdays even like Runtime are shipped unnecessarily rather than just trying to improve what exists

[@joelcool1027]

Solid advice. Great video

[@EDC.EveryDayCode]

ahhh i had a painful laugh at that chart at 2:17 !

[@bullet009]

do a video on microsoft Applied Skills

[@RockCYP]

Lets be clear that he is not the first guy to release a boilerplate. He was just potentially the first to make it this big.

[@EduardsRuzga]

Love the topic of soloprenours and indue hackers. Like abd sybscribef in hopes of more such things.

With Full-stack knowledge, You can whip things in no Time. I use Laravel. Has prebuilt common thangs. Which work and maintained by their team. If you know those properly you be flying

[@joelisaiahbobai4331]

This video was very helpful 🎉

[@techpiller2558]

2:17 Overthinking, overanalyzing, over-designing, overengineering are the culprits of why people don't get results in their projects.

[@cod3knight]

yes dude!

[@kenwarner]

I've seen this project too. Feels like there should be an open source version of this out there. Maybe not complete feature parity, but a decent starter kit. Anybody know of any good repos?

[@pyroghost11]

there are tons... and to be honest, it's not that crazy difficult to setup projects for a senior engineer, it just requires a bit of time and research... I usually spend one week or so when starting a new big project gathering the potential libraries/components

[@3ladeZ]

​@@pyroghost11I think the idea of that project kinda went over your head when you said "I usually spend one week or so when start a new project" lol.

[@haiffy]

Leaving ward here so i can get notified for that particular starter kit

[@josephgardner6667]

[@tulijunior]

would be interested as well :D

[@Ayoubased]

why resubscribe if you get everything at the beginning?

[@benmahdjoubharoun1467]

I've seen this funny French dude using ship fast on his projects, I thought his app was free like Shadcn ui

[@michalguy]

dude made SaaSes for so long he made a Saas about building Saases. Sassy.

[@ApexJnr]

Lets see

[@tacorevenge87]

Credit to the French guy who built it

[@user-ji3vy4yz4f]

Cool 🎉

[@jamesjenkins9480]

My trouble is figuring out how to monetize it. I can build stuff, have built stuff. I just don't see how to monetize them.

[@abbcc555]

so who cloned this already and offers this for free?

[@dev0_018]

no one ???? probably real developers aren't watching this channel

[@yourlinuxguy]

I heard you say, You get access to code, So how is he stopping people from redistributing the code?

[@nunooliveira954]

I was thinking the same!

[@paulofreireslaw]

It's out there if you want to find it for free, but then you're kinda defeating the purpose by investing time in something other than shipping.

[@osku388]

Most people don't have the pirate mindset and just making your own boilerplate doesn't take too long either but for a lot of people, a day or two of their time is easily worth the $200

[@aimademerich]

Phenomenal

[@KorhalKk]

Why should I use TypeScript, exactly?

[@TravisMedia]

Because regular JS is dangerous

[@KorhalKk]

@@TravisMedia Do you have any video about it? I really would like to know these dangers because I really prefer JS over TS.

[@TravisMedia]

TS is just a superset of JS and it's optional and can be used as needed. Maybe this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqPCo6ZticyeaZo

[@TheGuillotineKing]

I've always wondered why developers don't just build apps and make billions why work for anyone

[@ryanvelbon]

Because the majority of us suck at sales and marketing

[@gomo5628]

3hours dns records? lol Most of indie developers dont need these, because they probably have done them and just reuse them? :) The whole website looks like " Pump it and dump it" with clickbank-ish design, with a tons of blah blah blah about how setting up this and or that takes tons of time, which for half of things enumerated is completely untrue. I mean its more then obvious bro is targeting the newbies devs with "I have an app idea" mindset, that will throw their pocket money to anyone that can convince them rather than sit and learn stuff lol. I mean I cant blame bro, aside of coder he is also business minded, saw the sheeple and built the way to shave it...I mean he literally built an Bootstrap out of Tailwing lol :)...... Now lets not forget the video content and delivery ...its like woah can you believe this blah blah blah lol...ok bro we got it, you got paid and now you make a video you even squeeze few affiliate links...I mean if I was you i wouldnt even going to offer free Ebooks. I will get that sheep pay even for them ebooks, maybe even make my own video platform so youtube wont give me peanuts for the tons of content I create :)
