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

[@VideoGerm]

Selling shovels during a gold rush.

[@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.

[@berkerdemirer7982]

Not really, tbh. All the shovels are accessible and free in the world of app development. This is more like a jump starter

[@berkerdemirer7982]

@TylerN-ce6to i mean, depends on your perspective i guess :D

[@winb_]

So you'd rather mine some iron by hand, refine it, smelt it, learn how to be a smith to make your shovel before you can actually do the thing you initially set out to do??

[@melamelawen]

@TylerN-ce6tolol

[@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.

[@terrymcchesney383]

I just stumbled across Marc in the past week, and was as intrigued as you. Love hearing his story, how for 5 years he struggled, and kept grinding, and ShipFast hit...great story!

[@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.

[@Dom-zy1qy]

It's seems like a common thing in different entrepreneurial communities that the people who are at the top are actually just selling the "way to make money" to those on the bottom.

[@Jd7172g]

Not really, it’s just that you’re searching for that topic. So if you’re search for ‘how to launch a saas’ then obviously you’re gunna get videos from a guy who shows you how you launch a saas.

[@Ibra_its_him]

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!

[@BadShowChannel]

what is this project about? some links maybe?

[@savingday]

Good luck brother

[@jarbodj]

Where do you start?

[@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.

[@techpiller2558]

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

[@codesaif8075]

true

[@Limestarz]

For sure. But I always think I can build something, but then when my pen goes to paper I magically forget what I was so excited about. Or I start to realize my idea is just a todo app with extra steps and is a waste of time.

[@bhp9415]

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

[@ksinghj]

I get that this was a marketing video for ShipFast as much as anything, but I think it's giving most people too much credit when you say "any single one of us could have done". Whilst I agree that most capable developers could have coded this, actually launching it and marketing it correctly was vital to its success and that's not easy for most developers. The indie hacker that makes money must also be an entrepreneur at heart.

[@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.

[@weakinsane]

While typing my comment here about what I encountered for my all 3 products on hold, I found that I can develop the solution for that. Thanks Travis. Brb I'm going machine-mode.

[@michalguy]

[@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]

[@ob34915]

I can’t believe people pay for a nextjs boilerplate 😮

[@TravisMedia]

It's much more than a Next.js boilerplate

[@GabrielSestrem]

Best stack: NextJs, Vercel, Supabase (for Auth as well), Tailwind

[@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!

[@enricd]

why using auth when you already have supabase that can handle user authentication?

[@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

[@kolawoleagoro6893]

Great Video Travis, Very Motivating👏

[@sanketsaitawdekar4440]

The only thing stopping me is the questions like, do I have to register my product, or copyright it and do I have to declare it to some government organization if it starts earning money. How will I handle my taxes.

[@wtf-is-this-974]

Sound like overthinking to me. Start earning money from it and then you get to worry about all those things you mentioned. If you past the barrier of "earning revenue from your product' phase, all those problems are good problems to have. Trust me

[@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

[@berkerdemirer7982]

That's an ad. But nevertheless, this is a good boilerplate and support group. Docs needs more work to ship as fast as possible.

[@Brocollipy]

Great video. Glad I’m not the only one. I make a few personal projects in my off time but nothing that would actually generate an income.

[@WebDevJapan]

I have a really good idea but I’m just starting out with web dev. I can only build basic websites and apps right now.

[@tacorevenge87]

Credit to the French guy who built it

[@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.

[@mazen.alsenih]

You can write your own adapter in few lines of code to handle the user session and refreshing logic for auth.js, it would work with any database. It is a versatile tool.

[@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.

[@Ihateteenagerstheyrecringe]

Your problem is not a coding problem. It's business knowledge problem. So stop coding and start watching Y Combinator videos

[@EDC.EveryDayCode]

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

[@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

[@Investmentpunk1]

Hi nice video! I am a data scientist and I am starting to get into Web and Software development. Can you tell me what I need to learn to use ship fast effectively? For example - I am very proficient in Python - can i build the backend / API in Python and still use ship fast?

[@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

[@marcialabrahantes3369]

He does recurring "launch" discounts on 'low' seasons - there's one currently going on for 100$ off (yes I bought it - pay me for my marketing later Marc ;P )

[@thesirpython]

An engineer with an appreciation for design. Which means beautiful websites is a marriage made in heaven. Good design will never go out of style. So it's a bummer if an engineer wastes his idea because of crappy UI or bad marketing. Don't be a right brain only person!

[@Ayoubased]

[@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

[@samybenhmouda1168]

Hi man, I wanna lunch my saas but I don't how to code can I use shipfast, and what other tools do I need?

[@wtf-is-this-974]

You still need the coding knowledge to launch a product online. Hit me up if you want to collaborate. I have years of coding knowledge from initial design to production launch but to put it bluntly, I do not have the entrepreneur mindset to actually earning money from it. So, if you have a great idea and in need of a developer, I am your guy.

[@yolxanderjacagonzalez5177]

I use laravel too but I disagree. Most companies I worked use Laravel for admin stuff or dashboards. There are many laravel dashboards templates but none of them are actually easy to setup with the basic like authentication, db connect or even components ( tailwind can be used too ). if you can automate or speed that up, you are in 👍

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.

[@standa-yt]

​@@TravisMedia I'm pretty sure you've seen some of the discussions about the huge security flaws in ShipFast and how Marc Lou "handled" the situation.

[@TravisMedia]

@@standa-yt I've followed it. I've also followed the outcome of it, which was good.

[@standa-yt]

@@TravisMedia That perspective seems rather shortsighted. By the same logic, one could argue that the outcome of WWII was "good" simply because it led to the Turing machine, advances in civil rights, and numerous inventions. But that doesn’t make WWII itself a good event. The same applies to ShipFast; yes, Marc addressed some major security flaws (after acting very arrogant), but the product remains fundamentally flawed. After everything that’s happened, it would take a leap of faith (be a lunatic) to trust it, especially once you consider alternatives, pricing and what it offers. I have nothing personal against Marc-I’ve followed him since his Habit Garden days, back when he had very few followers and almost no income. But the product itself is still subpar. I could list multiple issues, but I’m sure you already know them. It’s just that you’re interested in making some money, which I can understand. Still, I think it’s more ethical to steer clear of promoting problematic products.
