Thank you, man! Currently, I am not looking for one, but thanks for the offer :)

I have an email address in my profile on UA-cam :)

Thank you, man! I appreciate the support :)

Hi, I am not quite sure if you necessarily need shipfast or if you could just use a (free) boilerplate for Python then. Shipfast uses Javascript or Typescript, and I don't know if mixing them works. Also, if you are already familiar with Python, you can use a Framework like Django and build it yourself (or find a github repo you can clone). ShipFast is great if you have no prior experience in web development or coding in general. However, I am also just a guy on the internet who started learning this stuff a few months ago. So probably not the most reliable source hahaha _-_ Feel free to ask further questions if you have any :)

@@steffenj Alright, thanks for the quick reply :)

Hi, I just looked into it a bit. It seems like a great solution. Maybe I'll start the next project using this boilerplate, thanks :)

@@steffenj Cool :) Ty for the nice response. I update it all the time, adding atm mostly application components like TreeView and stuff. But also features like Multi-factor auth and advanced billing is coming soon.

Thank youu, man!

Thank you!! Yeah, that's right, and they are a lot of fun to make as well :)

I'm glad you found this channel as well :)

🙏

Thanks, man! I wish you the best as well!

Hi, thank you for your comment! I guess I will take it as a compliment :) I have never coded in NextJS before and I only decided to use it for my app because I used ShipFast (which uses NextJS). I wasn't a complete rookie, because I worked with HTML and CSS a lot. I also had basic programming lessons in school 5 years ago and a strong interest in technical stuff. To be honest, I still can't really write code myself, but I am able to understand it and think of the logic behind the code. The actual coding was done by ChatGPT. I just told him exactly what I wanted, made small adjustments or told ChatGPT what I wanted to be changed. I hope that clarifies it. Have a great day!

Hi there, currently not. Thank you!

Hi! It is possible, but you will probably need more time because you will need to code everything yourself (or with the free versions of AI models). The Domain will then probably be your largest expense, as you can host your website for free with vercel (or other servicesas well maybe). Apparently, it gets more expensive if you scale, but that is only a problem if you gain traction, in which case you should have your first paying customers as well. The biggest challenge will be marketing, for which you can use a content marketing strategy. Just post on Twitter and share your journey. You can also post on UA-cam or ProductHunt if you feel comfortable with that. The most important thing is to stay consistent and never stop trying. I also tried a lot of different things before something worked out (at least kind of :) Of course, this is a lot of work and everything, but easy. However, if you have the right idea / enough good ideas, you will succeed. Feel free to ask further questions if you have any. Either way, I wish you the best!

​@@steffenjThank you so much bro ❤

Hi Marc, thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it. (And thanks for your content. it's very inspiring :) I will definitely incorporate your suggestions, and who knows, maybe I will be able to gain some more customers then :)

​@@steffenjSick of manually updating you entrance sign? I think you have a typo on your landing page. Good job & good luck mate!

@finkyfreak8515 oh no, I will change that as soon as possible. Thank you!

I am also not very good

Thank you for the tip! I will definitely try Claude then

That's true, and you can also re-use the code for future projects. However, I like Webflow as well. It just makes building a great landing page soo much easier hahaha. But I have to admit, I don't host my pages with Webflow...I use my own server and export the code (for which you also need to pay....so, expensive never the less haha)

Thank you! That sounds very interesting, I wish you the best of luck for your software! Have you made anything public yet?

Thank you! I think it is hard for everyone. In the end, we all need to practice and learn before we can become successful in anything. So, the most important thing is to never stop and keep improving. I wish you all the best!!

Thank you!! The days were long hahaha, but I had fun learning all of that, so it was still enjoyable. (Happy that you don't roast me for my workarounds hahaha :)

Thank you very much!

HAHAHA I like how you think

Hi, currently I am fine, thanks!

I am currently working on the follow-up video :) You will find it there

Hi, I just published the video on the micro SAAS :)

Thank you, brother!

Hi, thank you for the offer, but I am good for now :)

Started early and iterated quickly :)

@steffenj good to see you having a go. honest feedback though, you need to be less prescriptive when you are young and inexperienced. Keep yourself open and go get some experience.

@rockenOne, thank you! I will always keep experimenting with new stuff (and share what works for me), but I'll definitely try to focus more on my experiences rather than being prescriptive :)

@steffenj well being honest, you have probably demonstrated a little more maturity in your responses vs my comments. Well done

@@rockenOne haha thank you!

Great, I'd love to hear how it works out for you in a few weeks!

Thanks! I really appreciate the support :)

Hey, thank you very much! That sounds very interesting. I have an email address in my Account details / information (only visible on PC). You can write me there, and I would love to exchange ideas :) Please understand that I don't want to post my email address here publicly.

Thanks!

Hi, I appreciate your comment! I might not be on the level of Alex Hormozi or Noah Kagan, but I still tried to make this as valuable as possible. I just wanted to share what I have learned over the years in the hopes that it helps someone else on their path. I am sure I will need to adjust this process in the future, but for now, it helped me to get my first successes (and maybe it will do the same for someone else) :) Have a great day!

lol

Hey man, thank you for your feedback! Currently, I enjoy editing my own videos, but I will come back to you should I ever need an editor :)

looks fine to me

Mans is just German, not much sunlight over there 😂

@VibronicCow HAHAHA

@@steffenj i have some German friends, clear as anything to me 😆 Congrats on your 1st internet dollar 🚀

Hi, I did not want to make the product public yet. However, I will publish a video about the project in the coming weeks :)

just posted the follow-up video :)

Thank you very much!

Oh, haven't read this book...maybe I should do that some time :) Would you recommend it?

@@steffenj absolutely, i think it is perfect book about entrepreneurship.

Just added it to my book list. Thanks!

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with ShipFast! For me, it was a good starting point, but your points are absolutely correct. Marc Lou has a great marketing strategy and can sell the dream of a Micro SAAS to his online following. However, there are probably alternatives that have greater value / cost. In my case, using ShipFast forced me to learn more about coding, which will help me for future projects (that I will probably build without using ShipFast, as building something yourself is even more fun, better for debugging, and more flexible in terms of structure and integrations). Have a great day! :)

It's better because of customization you anyways need to buy themes for premium look

Exactly, you can do a lot with Wordpress, but you need Plugins for everything. If you want to create a web app and have a basic understanding of code, I think you can do a lot more with custom development. You don't need ShipFast for that, but Wordpress was initially meant for blogging and not for web applications.

@@steffenj at some point I think there was statistic that WP taking 70% of web sites out there... ok maybe for blogging or so, but besides WP, there is Joomla, Drupal, and so many other stuff when on few clicks you can have stuff which this template cant integrate in ages. I mean this guy just used another hype after web3 coins and so on. This is just one of the tools which he managed to sell nicely... if you goo bit deeper you can have much cheaper and much better things then this ... but its okay, he earned money congrats for that.

Quick Facts: WordPress Statistics in June 2024 WordPress powers 43.4% of all websites as their CMS. Around 474 million websites are built on WordPress. WordPress dominates the CMS market with a 62.7% share. There are over 30,000 WordPress themes available.6 Jun 2024 So, I think that people who buying this template are very young and uninformed....

Thank you very much, and welcome in the family :)

If you know how to code, I also think coding the stuff yourself is the best way. However, especially in the beginning, No-Code can speed up the process and help you validate the idea before putting in more effort (assuming that using No-Code is actually faster to build, of course)

Defo agree with this. I keep watching the tech stack vids to see if they are as fast / easy as they seem. Often we ignore the fact they’ve previously written 20 other apps in their chosen tech stack so it’s not surprising they can churn out something in days.

That's true. Even with no-code, there is a learning curve, and you need to know some programming principles. For normal programming, you have libraries and ChatGPT, so in the end, I think the fastest way is always to use the stuff you already know. Sticking to one option will speed up the process the most.

Hi Steffen, Thank you, and good luck with your project as well! Marc Lou is a very interesting person :) If you don't mind sharing...what kind of app is it that you are building?

@@steffenj A kind of sucessor to Eventghost with features of Power Automate (Microsoft) and Autohotkey. Basically A automation App for Desktop for Developers , Office Workers , Smarthome , Entertainment .. we will see Im calling it AutomationGhost. I will probably release a Version sometime this year . About 2-3 Months of development datily grind at the moment. Wanted to start my entrepneur journy with a passion project. It can help me down speed up work.

​@@steffenjcan you share what kind of product you already built?

That sounds cool (and complicated to build hahaha)! I wish you the best of luck :) Maybe start documenting your journey on UA-cam as well 🤷🏼‍♂️ might help with marketing your product when you release it.

Hi, I will share it in one of my next videos, I promise :)

I might have to read it then. Thank you for the recommendation!

Hi! Currently, I am still careful in regards of making too much public. But if you Google "SyncMySign", you will find my latest project :) Danke back!

Hi, thank you for your offer, but currently, I enjoy editing my own videos. Maybe some day in the future :)

Hi there, that are some valid points you are making. I was exactly that person that didn't know how to code and now I am learning it (and actually also building out my own codebase for my next project - ditching ShipFast haha). For me, ShipFast was a great starting point, but (as I mentioned in the video as well) there are other boilerplates out there that do the same job and there is always the option to build one yourself. I did not try to promote ShipFast as the "holy grail" of boilerplates, but it worked in my specific situation and I wanted to share that. The reason I don't use something like bubble is that you don't own the code afterwards, so there is no perfect solution. (Well, learning how to code and to properly do it yourself might be...but that does not happen over night :)

I talked about this my channel its sad they are taking advantage of developers without business skills because if you have even an ounce of business skills you would be able to see the madness of launching 24 startups in 3 years, and he confessed he is making most of money from the template and not his other startups and that should tell you something, take care guys

That's true! Also, having an audience helps massively with marketing and driving attention (and customers) to your product...nothing that can be easily replicated.

@@steffenj thank you so much for understanding this, I wish you success in your startups brother , developers lets learn some business skills and make real money

Thank you, man! I wish you all the best as well!

Thanks, man! 🙏
