Technical Lead (by default - there's only one techy!) | Building a SaaS to goal #1 : $1k MRR | 🇬🇧

I need to complete my profile in Stripe but it requires my business website which isn't live yet because that's what I'm developing - i feel like lots of people would come across this so I assume there's something obvious that people do, can anyone enlighten me please? 😂


What I'm currently building might be a total flop, and that's okay! I've learnt so much just getting this far. The biggest thing I've learnt that I didn't do properly was planning from the outset. I didn't know what or how to implement authentication, had no idea about…


I've been looking at the Vercel pricing and I feel like I'm definitely missing something, especially with the drama over the last few weeks that I've seen on the timeline. At first glance either the free Hobby or $20/m Pro plan would suit me - but I've seen people's shocking…


Guys, I'm getting nervous now! Development has been going really well and I've started working on the features for different subscription plans. Once the features are done I'll be redoing abit of the UI, but then I need to integrate payment. But after that and a bunch of…


Feeling really burnt out and overwhelmed, I know I need to take a night or two off. I'm working my day job 7-4 then building my project 4.30-1/2am (ish) with minor breaks. I didn't realise how much I've been stuck to my laptop lately, but I'm obsessed. I NEED to finish this to…


Looking for suggestions please 😇 I'm getting a bit caught up trying to implement a tier system in my app (free, pro etc) I've not even implemented payment yet, but the tier limit will account for how much data a user can fetch and save to DB - and I've just about finished…


Why is development such an emotional roller coaster!? 😂 This past 24 hours alone my emotions have gone something like: 🥳- YES I can't believe I've done it! 😬- Wait, I didn't think about ... and now it's all broke 🥳🥳- Omg I fixed it and got ... working too! 😭- damn, it…


I'm pretty sure I was the only person to think README files were overrated. Well, I used to think that. Creating and maintaining a README file during development has been a game changer for me 🤯 These are the main things that I'm keeping track of 🧵👇


Another successful night of coding! 🙌 Got abit too excited last night when I finally cracked the big issue and forgot I needed to implement authentication of some form - I got stuck on this for a week and gave up so I didn't have high hopes. A few hours in and a huge help…


I was so close to giving up 😓 Tonight I thought I'll have one last crack at my chrome extension and if I fail, then maybe take a couple weeks off and rethink whether this will work. And I've finally done it!! My chrome extension is getting the data I need and it makes me…


Is anyone using something other than Stripe for subscription management and payment? I'm nervous about getting to this part of development. Is Stripe beginner friendly and does it come with any prerequisites? 😅


My project comes in two parts: a webapp (and hopefully soon mobile app) plus a chrome extension. I have the webapp sorted-ish, but in order to populate real data now I need to develop my chrome extension. I thought this would be the easiest part but its had me stuck for days so…


I'm determined to make it one day. If not for me, for my mom. She's my biggest supporter and always asking how my little projects are coming along. One day, I'll have the money to buy a house with enough ground floor rooms that she can just move into 🤗 Motivated more than…


I don't suppose we have any firebase authentication experts in the community? 😇 Made a big pivot recently and thankfully made alot of progress with a webapp but I've hit a huge hurdle trying to create a chrome extension that uses firebase authentication...I'm not able to make a…


This is a shame. My product was reliant on this plan and it was already difficult having to decide to pay $100/m to get going but I can't justify the ridiculous increase 🤯 I guess it's back to the drawing board for me!

X is trying to kill all its smaller developers... ONE BY ONE. It's already tough to evolve in such a competitive market but now I'll have to pay TWICE the price for the SAME (very limited) API access!! I'm doing my best to make Snowball the best X product for everyone here at…

Hit a brick wall. Someone please save me! I've rebuilt my app 4 times now using different authentication methods, and each time I haven't made any progress. I'm using React Native and Expo to build a cross platform app that allows users to login with their X account and…


Subscription models seem to be the talk of the town! I've seen alot of posts recently, questioning the best subscription model. One thing I'd consider but wouldn't know how to implement is a credits based model, where users pay a few dollars for X amount of credits. Anyone here…


Yesterday was a tough day. I ran into hurdle after hurdle and I haven't been able to get past the current hurdle. Maybe I'm over extending trying to develop a mobile and web app at the same time, since I don't have any experience with mobile dev. But I know that's going to be…


Day 1 - building has begun! Slow but steady progress. Mainly focusing on backend implementation to get the logic working. I overlooked something pretty big and it's quite disappointing. I need to use the X API and the access I require costs $100 per month. I wanted to keep…


Please help! 👇 I begin coding tomorrow. I'm building a web and mobile app so I was I initially set on using React native so I can deploy a web app MVP to gauge interest, and soon after launch the mobile apps. However I'm having second thoughts on React Native based on some…
