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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

[michalguy]

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

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.

[GabrielSestrem]

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

[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?

[benditovicentecosta]

The truest part of this is probably:
♾️ hours of Overthinking

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

[mohammedanas]

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

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.
