Dear fastlaners,

do you want to watch me build a project/startup live?

In the following 12 months*, I'm going to build multiple APP/SaaS projects** and I will use this thread to document my progress and learnings along the way. This will help me stay accountable for the next 12 months of my progress.

You will be able to watch me build this as I'm going to set up a private live stream on YouTube where you can witness every action I take along the way and listen to my comments. I'm going to work for 4 hours a day Monday to Friday. If on any given day I cannot invest 4 hours, I will catch up on the remaining days during each week.


*I won't be working the full 52 weeks on this, and am planning on 4-6 weeks of holidays during this year
** I do have a background in engineering but I'm new to web development, so in the beginning this will be mostly basic apps and projects

Here is yesterday's second work session (2hrs):

Watch Me Build an App (S01-E01)


What I learned:
  • Still not sure if React Native is the way to go for my project
  • Could not manage to set up AWS Cloud9 to work on my project (maybe later)
  • Could set up Expo CLI to run a test project in browser

Next steps:
  • configure Expo so I can run test projects on multiple devices
  • start coding my first project

Here's today's session Part 1:

Watch Me Build an App (S01-E2 Part 1)

Thank you for your kind words. I'm a beginner so everything that seems basic takes forever. I took a basic web dev course last year and am now expanding on that knowledge by starting my own projects.

No need to watch the whole thing, I'm just recording this as an accountability measure. I will probably create a time-lapse video at some point.

Yesterday's top learnings:
  • Finished the basic course on React JS. Sadly I found out the course I did was 4 years old. Features have moved on so there might be even better React JS features today. Especially using and setting state. So I won't recreate the app I built for now.
  • Started the course on React Native (2 years old, should a good start for now)
  • I should write down more in my personal notes (Obsidian), because I keep googling the same basic questions. I plant to take more notes and build my own knowledge base.
  • Set up iOS Simulator. Working. Nice! :)
  • I keep putting too much on my plate for one day. So I want to plan less.
  • FUN
Today's goals:
  • Go as far as possible with the React Native course (important, as I'm building an App)
This week's goal:
  • Finish courses by tomorrow at the latest and finish the first app project ASAP (Update: Not sure if this is feasible)

Just discovered this topic and thank you for doing this, I will try to watch your content as you are doing exactly what I am planning to do once I learn coding.
Just one beginner question, you went from react to android studio and maybe swift (for IOS), is it hard to do the transition from webapp to android/ios, are you building a native app for both environements or will your mobile app be a web app displayed on mobile ?

Most React Native (RN) applications will not require you to venture outside of the comfort of React/JavaScript. It is only when you are looking to extend functionality outside of what RN already provides that you will have to start using native languages for iOS and Android.

As a beginner it is not expected of you to be messing around with Native Java/Swift, especially if you have no prior experience with either of those languages. If you really never want to touch native code then Expo is they way forward, it is a much larger RN ecosystem that includes support for numerous community packages that allow you to streamline application development, but with limitations.

RN allows your JavaScript code to interact with the native API's provided by the OS, e.g. Android/iOS. It's too large of a topic to include in a forum comment, but it is worth taking a look at the React Native Architecture Overview page if you are interested in learning more.

As @sailorssoot wrote, it's not something to discuss or learn in a forum. I suggest you watch the first couple of minutes of this introductory video to React Native to see what it does. I'm currently in the process of doing this mini course.

What SaaS masterclass are you following ?

My SaaS / App / Software-Project resources are:
For coding:
  • The Complete Web Developer Course 2.0
    Completed this last year. Great to get a basic overview. Plan 60+ hours including exercises. Easy at the beginning. Challenging later.
  • React JS - React Tutorial for Beginners
    Did this last week. Great for modern Web Dev (Frontend). Plan 4-5 hours including exercises to get all basic concepts of React JS. Challenging.
  • React Native Tutorial for Beginners - Build a React Native App
    Finished just now. Great for iOS and Android App development (which is something I'm trying to get into now. Easy. Plan 3 hours.
  • The Ultimate React Native Course
    This is basically a continuation of the Beginners Tutorial above. This I will do next. Plan to finish by the end of this week. I need this to be able to finish my current (and probably my upcoming app projects).
  • Currently looking for a good resource for Python, to be able to do a bit more demanding backend stuff. But this is something for the future.
  • Also, I have very little clue about databases (MySQL) and I think this might come in handy in the future. Nothing planned. Probably going to learn about this when I come across the need to learn it.

Yesterday's top learnings:
  • Structuring my project
  • Passing properties to child components and using them
  • Accessing Objects by name in React Native "object[name]" (although I don't fully understand this tbh
  • Not sure if I'm wasting my time with the course(s) I picked. So, I decided to go through it much faster and only code along if I think I will need this in the near future. It's more important to finish my first project now and release it ASAP, show it to users and track usage over a couple of weeks. Find out if users are returning and if the user base is growing organically. If so, try and monetize. In parallel to this, build my second project.
Today's goals:
  • 4 hours of solid programming along with the Mosh course on React Native.
  • 2 hours of SaaS Masterclass.
  • Stay focused and do not answer phone calls during work sessions.
This week's goal:
  • Finish React Native Course

Yesterday's top learnings:

Tech:

  • Structure React Native Project using folders for
    • assets (images...)
    • components (reusable throughout the app)
    • screens (basically the views for the user)
    • config (reusable styles like colors.js)
  • Structuring project is important especially when working in a team (wich is something I might want to do later) and to be able to reuse components / screens (which is something I definitely will do later, as I'm planning to stay in the SaaS game for longer)
  • For handling swipes import Gesture Handler components like "Swipeable"
  • IMPORTANT: DO NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL!!!!!
  • Use resources like React Native UI Toolkits:
SaaS:
  • Outsource development to Indian Dev using Upwork
    • Fire fast, if it's not working out
    • If something goes wrong during communication, IT'S MY FAULT for not explaining in a way the dev guy can understand this
    • Asynchronous working hours (place task in the evening, get results in the morning)
    • superior work ethics compared to EU / US Dev
    • 15-25 US$ range per hours
    • Have extensive interview with indian dev, ask questions, look for Github repo and ask what they built there exactly (What exactly is Github?)
    • 2.000 $ - 5.000 $ per project
    • Find guys that already work for a US corporation (Amazon)
  • For now, I will continue my learning progress, as I still don't have a good understanding of coding. In the future outsource more to teams in India but be able to understand what they do and to do quick bug fixes, changes, and more advanced (IP) stuff on my own.
  • DO NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL FOR SaaS!!!
  • Rip off code from Github whenever possible
  • Use the following resources instead:
  • Find products that already are working but look likes shit, make them beautiful
  • Find products that are being used sold a Excel Template or whenever a whole industry uses Google Sheets or Excel to solve a problem => This is a business opportunity for SaaS
  • B2C: HELL NO! Very high number of customers needed for 10 $ / mo product!
  • B2B: BAD! This takes forever to close as decisions in Corporations / Companies take forever
  • B2H! Business 2 Hustler: AWESOME! Think: Freelancers, Consultants, Investors, e-com guys, Agency Owners,... Huslers. Whenever someone is looking to improve the way they make money and grow their income. THIS is a great niche to be in. Why? Willing to invest! High ticket price. Look at 200-500 $ / mo range!
  • Tools to use while building SaaS:
    • Use Logging and log every user action. Helps see what people are doing and helps understand users
    • Serenity (track broken code)
    • AWS Cloudwatch (no clue what this does, really, something about open S3 buckets... wtf?)
    • Intercom (let users give you feedback, expensive)
    • A feedback button is needed everywhere

Today's goals:
  • 2-3 hours of solid programming along with the Mosh course on React Native.
  • Stay focused and do not answer phone calls during work sessions.
This week's goal:
  • Finish React Native Course
  • Build and release my first App
  • Finish SaaS Masterclass

Will upload my session later. Wifi is bad.

Yesterday's top learnings:

  • Tech:
    • Dove deeper into passing properties from parent to child
    • passing function calls from parent to child components (the parent should implement the function)
    • Rendering FlatLists with custom render components
    • At the moment I'm moving very slow with my RN course. Go much faster! I want to stop understanding everything 100 % and just know where I can look up stuff
  • Biz:
    • Got some pretty decent ideas that need some kind of validation
    • Interview former colleague with buiz idea
Today's goals:
  • 3-4 hours of solid programming (GO FASTER!)
  • 2 hours of SaaS Masterclass
This week's goal:
  • Finish React Native Course (won't succeed)
  • Build and release my first App (won't succeed)
  • Finish SaaS Masterclass (maybe will succeed)

Today's session:

Watch Me Build an App (S01-E15)



Today's learnings:

Biz:

  • Process to creating a successful SaaS
    • FIND AN EXISTING SaaS, study it and find out everything about it: How many users? What's their revenue? What's their cost structure? Do they spend on ads? Do they have an affiliate offer?
    • If SaaS is successful (researched metrics look good) JUST COPY IT! Do not copy super hyped VC backed startups, that are far away from break-even-point and just pumping money at Google and Facebook Ads). This is not something you want to do. You want something that's already working.
    • ADD YOUR OWN SPIN ON IT (find something that's bad about it and make it better; if it's a desktop app, make a cloud app out of it; if it looks shitty, make a nice design; or just build an amazing landing page)
  • KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID (no extra features, clear value)
  • Draw out exact user flow and logic of SaaS to copy (except the standard stuff covered by boilerplate) and the backend-calls
  • Hire developers (I'm ignoring this for now, because I want to be able to develop my own stuff. Also, I think it's fun. I think it's fun and I don't have the funds to outsource atm. So outsource later.)
  • Figure out traffic BEFORE launching. Get feedback from top 100 users
  • Launch your SaaS, as soon as possible. People spend way too long polishing their SaaS.
  • Never get married to an idea! If it doesn't work out after 3 months. DROP IT! Hahah, I think I definitely made some mistakes here in the past

Today I did not do any dev stuff. I invested >7 hours intensely investigating the Fitness influencers market. Reached out to a friend of mine who’s an influencer to understand the market better and to step into personal contact with fitness influencers. Hope to start conversations with potential partners (influencers) soon and understand their problems and how I can help them.

Today's top Dev learnings:
  • Today was maybe the worst day since I started. I'm stuck at a problem I couldn't solve today. Will start again tomorrow. Feel free to watch the shitshow of React Native (link below)
Today's top Biz learnings:
  • I identified my top 50 potential customers in the German-speaking market. Initially I wanted to find 200 potential customers but took way longer than expected, so I stopped the list at 50. Will continue tomorrow
  • Found a massive competitor with an incredible solution for my market and actually something that I wanted to build. So this is a very good sign. I appreciate the healthy competition. The competition is pretty strong and of my top 50 customers, 14 are already using their solution. Good to see this. The market is huge though.
  • Found a software that helps me identify customers systematically. Happy about this.
  • Got in touch with a friend of mine who's well connected to potential customers. Hope she can help me with getting the first discussions.

The shit show continues. However, I was finally able to continue my progress so am now back on track.

Watch Me Build an App (S01-E17)


UPDATE:​

  • I will start with my product development soon. Therefore, I'm switching my reporting from a daily to a weekly basis and will no longer include live streams/screen recordings to protect my intellectual property.
  • My commitment (see the first post) still remains stronger than ever.
  • All future updates will be posted in the INSIDERS section

Sad to see this thread being moved to the INSIDERS area as I think a few people were enjoying keeping up with the progress, but I can see why you've made the decision.

If you're wanting to protect your idea for the time being, have you considered anything for after release? You could continue to record the progress you're making and then look at condensing it into short form video, i.e. timelapse for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Youtube etc and voice overlay it? Then you can potentially create another audience which might be interested in following the project, or have some interest in using it. If you're using a Mac/Macbook then Quicktime is included and enables screen recording capability.

Good luck!

I'm reviving this thread to show everybody what failure looks like.

But not any kind of failure. The worst kind of failure: Giving up!

My original commitment was 12 months of building SaaS products. I gave up after the first month.

Never shipping a product.

Never even finishing my first product.

Never fully admitting my failure but simply moving on.

What happened? I'm glad you ask. I could start looking for excuses. It would be easy to say that I got tangled up in a promising startup project that went nowhere (shiny new object syndrome). I could say that my original business got some traction (see the INSIDERS section). I could even say that my day job demanded more time, or my health declined. While all of these facts are technically true, it still makes them nothing but excuses!

I should have ignored shiny new objects.

I should have committed myself to a feasible workload.

I should have planned for unexpected workload in my day job.

I did not. So this is my failure, and I take full responsibility for my dire situation, which is my life circumstances. I am no further than I was 12 months ago. No, actually, I'm worse off today because I'm one year older with one more failure to my name.

But enough crying. Time to man up, cut my losses, pick myself up, and move on.

So, I went back to the drawing board. What had I done wrong? What do I need to change? What can I learn from this failure? How can I make sure this never happens again?

YouTube has always been in the back of my mind. I know other threads question the validity of YouTube being Fastlane. But at this moment, I really don't care. I need to commit myself to something, really anything, and stick with it for a longer period. Develop real skills and turn these into a thriving business. This is why I made 18 simple rules in January this year. Rules that only apply to me because I know my strengths and weaknesses. Here's a shortened version of my rules:

Rule 0 - Never stop, never quit, never give up
Rule 1 - Prioritize your mental & physical health
Rule 2 - Work in Zone 2
Rule 3 - Ignore the woman in the red dress
Rule 4 - Post at least one video per week
Rule 5 - Strive for perfection, and accept that it is unattainable
Rule 6 - Follow the best practice you have learned
Rule 7 - Write the best possible scripts
Rule 8 - Don't change your rules for at least three years
Rule 9 - Ignore the statistics
Rule 10 - Be helpful but know your value
Rule 11 - You are a creator, not a consumer. A Leader, not a follower.
Rule 12 - Do not forget your goal of delivering value
Rule 13 - Maximum speed and no mistakes
Rule 14 - Nobody will save you
Rule 15 - Be humble and self-confident
Rule 16 - Do not question your daily plan
Rule 17 - Confirm your rules every day

Now I know I'm not perfect. As you can see, I already broke some of my rules. I have not released one video per week. In the past, this would have been a reason to stop altogether. That is okay. I accept my yesterday's failures. Today is a new day.

Why is this time different? Frankly speaking: I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of failing.

I'm sick of giving up.

I'm sick of returning to base-line.

I call this: Fear of returning to Zero.

Zero is the starting point for anything. We start counting from Zero. When we start a business, we start at Zero. When we begin a workout routine, we're at Zero. I have developed a genuine fear of returning to Zero.

I know, I broke this forum's trust before by not delivering on my last year's promise. Why, then, should you believe anything I say?

You're right. It would be best if you didn't believe anything I wrote here. Talk is cheap. This is why I won't promise anything here. I won't keep up with you regularly. I won't update my progress. I won't even share all my new learnings and steps that I make. What I will do instead is: Deliver!

You will be able to witness my progress here.

See you on the other side.

I'm reviving this thread to show everybody what failure looks like.

But not any kind of failure. The worst kind of failure: Giving up!

My original commitment was 12 months of building SaaS products. I gave up after the first month.

Never shipping a product.

Never even finishing my first product.

Never fully admitting my failure but simply moving on.

What happened? I'm glad you ask. I could start looking for excuses. It would be easy to say that I got tangled up in a promising startup project that went nowhere (shiny new object syndrome). I could say that my original business got some traction (see the INSIDERS section). I could even say that my day job demanded more time, or my health declined. While all of these facts are technically true, it still makes them nothing but excuses!

I should have ignored shiny new objects.

I should have committed myself to a feasible workload.

I should have planned for unexpected workload in my day job.

I did not. So this is my failure, and I take full responsibility for my dire situation, which is my life circumstances. I am no further than I was 12 months ago. No, actually, I'm worse off today because I'm one year older with one more failure to my name.

@Kirk84 So what you have demonstrated here is exactly what is needed to succeed ie. The boring, every day random, 'I don't feel like' attitude and feelings we all go through.
Most of the journey as I have discovered, is this mundane persisitence and discipline which are 2 of the key ingredients.
KEEP TO THE RULES is what I tell myself. And take breaks in between.
It's a god damn marathon, not a sprint.

PS - I am beginning to trust that Youtube maybe be quite good to keep you focussed & on track.
