    SAAS Product Creation - Successes and Failures

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I used to feel this too. I think it comes from the industry that we follow like always trying to be ahead and better than we were yesterday. My issue is the more I stayed up and got bad sleep the worse my health and work got. So now I just focus on working and setting proper tasks that get me...

    SAAS Product Creation - Successes and Failures

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I want to create this process thread to as one, a way of documenting the growth of the product and two, to help others who maybe looking to create their own tech product. For obvious reasons I will not be disclosing the product until it is out of beta and fully released. Back story: I am...

    WordPress is USELESS...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Wordpress does suck if you don't know what you're doing. I look at coding like playing Piano, anyone can play chopsticks but it takes years to be a concert pianist. Same with coding it takes years and years to get really great and understand what works / what doesn't. I've created hundreds of...

    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    I'm glad Etherium is being spoken about here. When people ask me why it will change the internet I give them this analogy. Say I have a dog walking business and I tell you that I'll walk your little fluffy for 5 miles a day. Right now, I take your dog for a 2 mile walk and charge you for 5. You...

    Newbie already being talked down by friends :(

    INTRO 
    This is not really a business story but should help. When I was 22 and broke I decided to learn to code as a way of making extra money. I told my family, which my stepdad replied, 'why are you wasting time, become something good like a postman?'. This carried on to the point where my stepdad...

    I just changed the css slightly and think it looks a little cleaner with a white header and the logo a little small also:

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I haven't read all this thread, so sorry if I repeat, but the only advice I can give is: 1. I would put up a landing page and test people actually want what you're providing. Rather than thinking about fancy yachts, I would focus more on how your SAAS product can really change people's lives...

    Not sure about that. People pay for the product... If you say i'm going to build you a simple HTML / CSS site when I do all the work then they will get paid for that. If you build someone a fully fledged platform with proper security, article upload, product upload etc and bespoke features then...

    Nice, If you learn JS on the front end anyhow you can easily transition to back end using Nodejs.

    Honestly this is the difference between 5-6 and 7-8 figure deals. I've worked with companies that have paid £20m+ for a whole site re-vamp. It's super helpful to know backend even if you don't want to write backend code 24/7.

    I want to thank MJ for this post. I have been using this spreadsheet and it's really pushing me to change. Thing's i'd usually put off through laziness I now pull through. One thing I have found useful is, for example one of my goals is to be able to do 100 push ups (as I recently had got an...

    Just a quick question, when you first get in contact do you previous work you have done for other companies via a sales deck / PDF?

    So I said in the thread before I would add a simple boilerplate which makes building HTML easier using Node / Handlebars. I will leave the link here. It looks a little crazy at first but is easy to get your head around an makes it super simple once you know it. Hopefully speeding up your...

    Yea I get but you're assuming that everyone in the world is using google... The HTML will load... make a http request to get your <script src="> then will initialize the js. So will a flicker will occur also if a user returns from another page and has scrolled down the browser will try to return...

    Yes! So this will help you massively. Change it one place and it'll change it across all the pages. Also say you have a button you repeat you would just drop in the template and if it changes it will change everywhere. Also someone said about injecting template with JS/JQuery, I personally would...

    This is an awesome thread. I would also say you should learn some kinda templating package like Handlebars and Node (and NPM) for the backend. Handlebars/Jade etc because they easily compile to HTML. This way if you have repeat code you can just drop in partials and it also means you don't have...

    So to add an end to the story... I had to end it. She started to moan all the time about money and how she couldn't earn it. I offered to help her out on many occasions each time she would refuse. I would work on projects in the evening on my laptop and she would tell me stop so we could watch...

    How does Britain possibly leaving the EU effect the world?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't know if this has been said already but the worst bit about this brexit stuff is if you're in 'out' camp, like me, people in conversations call you an idiot, racist etc... But like ChickenHawk said it's in our best interest to control the in's and out's like a business, hense my out vote...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    As someone that code's professionally in the slowlane i'd just like to say it is both a blessing and a curse. In the UK you get paid well which is ultimately good and you get to work on huge projects which means you gain knaaaawledge on where other companies suck (hidden needs). What sucks is...
