    Progress Thread - Building a SaaS

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Its not quite basic, but I do understand what your saying though and I totally agree. This has really dragged out. I have always found the coding to be the easiest part; its the Networking and security that takes some work and money.

    Progress Thread - Building a SaaS

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    We got the Landing Page re-launched with major UI scrubbing and are going to be running it for a couple of weeks as we get the last pieces done for product launch. We get to have a couple of users test for us and roll out the personal product as the Org version gets smoothed out. Full sights...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Last week I was able to accomplish all of my goals and had my partner kick some tires. It is working as we hoped for this stage. Now that the contracts are up; we are going to make yet ANOTHER pivot, but this makes my life easier actually. This week: Harden DateTimeoffset calls in my...

    Cdn - content delivery networks goid or bad

    SLOWLANE 
    I am not sure I understand your question in its entirety; but a CDN by itself is not an issue. A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is simply a set of services that figure out the closest servers to the request to fulfil the request. In that way; the data has less length to travel and the webpage...

    Progress Thread - Building a SaaS

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    It has been a minute since I have had a reason to update this thread, but last night I accomplished a large personal milestone so here I am. I have my core domain established (one path) and the test environment stood up so my co-founder can begin kicking the tires and showing off the product to...

    Are you using AI yet? (Poll + Steps to get started & up to speed?)

    HOT! FEEDBACK 
    I use Codex and GPT. Codex can be pointed to any big name AI guy though. Its been really great at speeding up a few things and helping debug. Typically I have an ERD that I create first and feed that (via pdf) to my codex agent to understand the relationships and then have it look at existing...

    Progress Thread - Building a SaaS

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    The site still is getting flushed out and backends finalized. I have been slow thanks to multiple Dr. visits, apts. and meds. Today was a pretty significant day as it was my first 'market echo'. It didn't quite turn out how I expected but it did finally happen. My partner has started talking...

    Progress Thread - Building a SaaS

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Haven't updated in a while because its just been grinding. We decided the agreement system we implemented was way overkill and outside of the scope of the core launch we had. And I wasted about 1.5 months on that work. I cloned the repo with that work and plan on re-visiting it and making it...

    Is there a caveat to chat gpt?

    - AI - 
    IDK what your using it for. if your using it to vibe code a startup you will run into hidden obstacles outside of making the code run locally. A cavoite to this would be if you can supply existing patters or structures it can build off of. For example if you have an ERD it can really help you...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    This month was a bit of a curve as the details of the 'cart' were explained and it went from a simple cart and payment to a full negotiation system. I was able to get out of the neg. system for mvp and have a more refined mvp version to start. Since we are supporting a multi to multi...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I have the map and the details pages (Listing Details which is different than last posting 'details' page) set up and working for the most part. I went to finalize the search criteria w/ co-founder and that led to us deciding to pause that work and work on the next pages first. (So map and...

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    An update. I have all of the technical requirements in hand and have been driving hard. I still have some items to expand the CRUD calls to all tables, but all the tables; relationships and hydration of those tables are done. I have the UI well underway as well. There are a few security...

    Should i learn the basics of code & then use A.I to code?

    IDEA 
    You should use AI to learn how to code. Open up ChatGPT and tell it you want to learn the basics of .net core 8 (or whatever) and its going to spit out a bunch of stuff you do not understand. Start at the first thing you do not understand and say, "Explain this to me". Be clear to it that...

    Thinking about it; I suppose it really solves his problems with the industry and will serve his immediate needs when we launch. Some of that existing need/business will apply directly to what he is already doing, but our platform will have extra elements and opportunities for that business...

    I have been lurking on this forum for a long time now. A couple of posts with false starts. This will be a first for me on here as its actual execution time. I can get into the FTE and all the other background later on when I have a bit more breathing room, but I have officially gotten...

    Please read and re-read the books MJ has provided us. This forum is intended for those who want to BUILD mentorship programs, not join them. I would recommend not burring bridges before they are even built. Much of the feedback you will face here may be harsh and to the point. They are...

    Tennis Database Business

    IDEA SOURCING SCALING 
    At the very least, you could look up the business on google via api and determine if the traffic is heavy or light atm. That won't guarantee open courts but a higher probability of being able to play.

    Getting Traction - Consulting and long term SaaS

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Andy, really appreciate your input. Good to hear from you sir! The client brought up the hourly idea. He also indicated if I wanted to present an overall price that was fine as well. It was me being unprepared that brought up the limbo. I admit, I am very nervous with this being my first...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Wanted to create this thread and plan on updating as often as something interesting happens. After much sidelining, I finally took the advice of of multiple people on this thread, and started reaching out to my immediate network to get the word out about what I am trying to do. Did not take a...
