Marc, did you use mongoClient?
Good day Marc, my name is Gideon Akinyele Ogunronbi , i am a Junior front-end developer and my skills include Html,css,Javascript and React , I watched this video and i wanted to ask if i could intern under you to build up my knowledge and become a better developer.
Your article on Code a Stripe Subscription model is not available. Can you please share the link
A lot of people give advices, but very few make actions or any progress. You are a smart guy never listen to them.
Thanks Alex 🫡
I love one thing in particular that you touch on in the video:
Customer's don't care about your tech stack!
They care about how easy/quick/cheaply they can get their job done. 💜
Customers DO care, just not overtly. If you pick a stack that is poor in SEO, you will get less traffic and fewer purchases. It matters to the extent that it is “good enough” for small projects with under 100k users. Then you have to start optimizing.
Small -> 100k .. I mean for any solopreneur (that's how we say it ?) having an app with 100k user is a looot
So yeah for this kind of app no one cares
I needed this guy like 4 years ago, its not about the last trending tecnologies, like literally 99.9 youtubers does, its about the demanding ones who works with business
Hell yeah, that's it.
This. Bleeding edge stuff is cool for nerds like us, but it’s not reliable enough for business. There’s a reason most devs are like, working with Java 9-13 most of the time 😂
His #1 source of income (according to his website) is selling you on this exact tech stack. It's akin to someone saying "I make $1k per month as an author" where their best selling book is "How to Make $1k per Month as an Author".
@@LimitedWard Yeah, it's kinda like "How I became a millionaire with drop-shipping" "If you want to learn how, buy my pdf-book + course just for $45"
Finally!! someone get the things done, without complaining and chasing shinny objects. Nice work!!
"Just ship it". Maaan i cannot emphasize enough how important that sentence is.
Great video!
And 12 days past since your comment. How far are you?
no offense but ...who are you? did you launch something successfully?
@@SacredCASHcow yes
the hell happened here
Of course this also depends what kind of application it is. If it is in Medical or Financial field I think you would want to test things a little more just to be sure you don't mess things up after shipping it.
I get your point bro. Most developers only consider about the next big tech stack. But they don’t know what customers want. You do the opposite and you make what customers want. And that’s why you make money. ❤
key takeaway. i love his content. its not about the next big thing or the latest and greatest tech features - its just about what works for him and some basic frameworks you can get started with.
I mean, a lot of people are also worried about what will be employable 5-10 years down the road too. But if you're getting your own clients, who really cares?
But do keep in mind: until he very recently kinda lucked out and hit it big with shipfast and made 200k in 3 months (2k*$200 sales in 3 months is INSANE btw so hats off), he was making basically 50k a year. And as much as people will talk shit about webdev, making pretty websites is an art (that I personally suck at).
@@shaso567 I suck at pretty stuff too. But I'm getting better, and I've decided to stop being too proud to use templates and bootstrap to fastrack the design process. I have found its much better to just get the first iteration up, focus on the functions, then improve the design as you go.
I can't believe I have been following you on twitter for a while and I'm not subscribed to you on youtube. This video is very underrated, thanks for this.
best video in youtube for software engineers hands down and I have been doing SE for 10+ years. Bravo!
still cant phathom how informative and helpful the content is, the video is fully packed yet somehow its not overwhelming and pretty easy on my mind
I think a lot of engineers get stuck on the tech debt from what they learned in industry. Thats why a lot of us smaller self taught solo devs can outcompete them. We use simple approaches and arent looking for million dollar moon shots. We' re just looking to build small sustainable ecosystem of tools that people in our niche find value in.
Interesting point
Thanks Marc, it really inspires me how you narrow down your tech stack instead of jumping and trying out different stacks. Your work shows a lot. Love from India.
editing was Great and the video was straight to the point! Good Job.
Super insightful! Thanks Marc
You inspired me to just pick a stack and just create projects on it. Bought the shipfast, now I’m just building small projects using it to get used to the stack so when I have an idea I won’t struggle as much.
What the heck. You are the living embodiment of “default to action”. Kudos to creating so much.
loved this overview! really appreciate the transparency with costs and everything that goes into a project
My new favourite channel I think! Not just a list of ideas and or advice but practically applicable with first hand experience and expertise. Super impressive!
00:01 Sticking to the same tech stack has led to successful product shipping and revenue generation.
00:54 Optimizing app development with NextJS, Tailwind CSS, and Daisy UI.
01:50 Efficient tech stack with Next.js serverless functions and MongoDB.
02:42 Using local version of MongoDB for coding convenience
03:34 Utilizes Versal for hosting, MongoDB Atlas for databases, and Plausible for app monitoring.
04:30 Utilizes simple event tracking and cost-effective monitoring tools.
05:22 Using AI models for specific product features
06:20 Consistency with tech stack is key for fast progress
So much packed into one video, you sir will get a subscription.
Thank you for this. It's a real dose of clarity.
Great video as always Marc! Just signed up to your newsletter, looking forward to reading it.
as always great video, love your pragmatic & no-BS approach
Loved the video Marc!
the editing is good marc... keep trust the editor works
"The faster you ship, the faster you get customers" love it ❤, I'm a backend developer trying to land the first job. im trying to improve my skills on backend, but I think if I want to bring others my services I need to learn a frontend library.
Wishing you all the best in this!!
Im the opposite lol
I watched a few of your videos before watching this.
This is mindblowing. Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea all those apps you built use the same tools.
Wow! Man, you knock my all tech stack confusion.
can't say enough thanks for the informations you share, keep it up bro!
Great video. This is the most helpful video I have watched for a while! Thank you so much for sharing!
The muscle analogy at the end nailed it 🎉
well said, thank you for sharing, and congrats on your success man!
Well you make the "45k/month" selling this tech-stack to others.. your apps barely make money
Truth 😂
Salesmen make the most money: nested salesmen who can double dip, even more
Yeah, and what are you gonna do about it?
This is true even in large scale software projects and enterprise companies. I switched from engineering to sales about 7 years ago and my income has tripled. It’s just a more financially rewarded skill to be close to the revenue side than it is to be strictly an engineer.
Everyone always says this as a cop-out, but really it’s just validation that selling means more to people than building does. That’s just how capitalism works.
The title obviously implies that the applications he created with his tech stack are generating him significant money. No one’s talking about whether switching from engineering to sales is good or not, this comment was calling out the clickbait title
@@mannyw_ nobody wants the inconvenient truth that building these apps on your own is never as frictionless on the business side as selling the method. That’s my point. He’s openly building stuff and keeping every idea that makes even a small profit, this is commendable and his profits are realistic.
Does he have to resort to clickbait to get your attention? Everyone does, calling people out on it won’t stop them because that’s just how business is done on platforms like this now.
He's "selling the dream", it's the same shit as people selling courses. "HEY IF YOU BUY THIS YOU'LL BE A REAL ENTREPRENEUR AND MAKE MILLIONS". When there's a gold rush, sell the shovels.
Very good stuff! Tech Stack don't really matter. Once you got one, stick to it and master it in order to be comfortable with.
Thanks for your advices.
Amazing video thanks Mark! Keep it up!
Great video as always Marc!
Nice! This is very insightful. Thanks for sharing, bro! 😀
Thanks friend, good to see you here!
Awesome video. To the point and well explained. I really love your style Marc. Here is a suggestion for a video: How do you maintain all those apps? Like when NextJs changes versions or React has a big update or something
Thanks Marc nice video as usual! The editing was good if it can free up your time why not? Idea for a next video could be how you organize your work, which tools and costs you have (e.g. project management tool, time tracking, how you prioritize etc.)
Your words worth gold, thank you!
Love the vid man, 10/10
The amount of knwoledge i got from this 6 min vid is huge, thx 💖
The editing is also amazing smooth and doesn't make you lose interest
It has been almost a year since I started learning Software engineering and doing projects and I can confidently say I am pretty comfortable with the technologies you mentioned. I am not applying to jobs or doing freelance because I have this feeling that I need to learn more. I am at that point of my life where I am very struggling financially because I study more than 10 hours per day so I don't have time to work. thanks to this video I am going to start job hunting.
Impressive work sticking to a tech stack that consistently delivers results! It’s a great reminder that mastering familiar tools often trumps chasing new technologies, especially when it drives such tangible success 👏.
Awesome approach about telling how to get things done in the easiest/right way. 👍🏻 nice video dude.
I scoffed at the title, clicked it, and then walked away “Oh this guy is like me” regarding attitude to not chasing the shiny things and work.
Earned a sub, nice vid, no bullshit.
That tech stack is pretty shiny tbh
I really love your video, it’s so valuable for a junior developer who wants to create a startup like me :)
Me too i search a good idea 😅
Question: How do you organize your day and week to get so much done? thanks for sharing, love your content and your spirit!
Love how the tech stack you mentioned is exactly the same that I use lol.
As far as traffic on websites goes no clue how you generated that cause that's the main issue for me right now.
SEO can bring traffic but only to a certain extent.
I love daisy ui combined with tailwind and next! great stack
and suddenly, after over a month of procrastination and doom scrolling, i feel motivated again. Just like that! . Thanks man!
On point. straight forward. loved it.
Awesome video. Love the keep it simple strategy. Huge fan of your strategy, it's been inspiring me to kick off side projects outside my corporate job.
Hi can you make a video about what to learn as a beginner. A road map to reach your level. Thank you
Marc, thank you!!
Marc, you are an inspiration.
Dude. This is epic. Just started my Dev journey. Thanks!
Thanks for the insight into your techstack. Really awesome apps you have created 🔥
As a 7 year deep in mostly backend, only recently building my own product with Laravel octane and Vue, I am very impressed with how simple you make all of this.
What kind of market research and brainstorming do you do to come up with the actual product?
Thanks bro for the transparency, I am an app developer and looking to learn some new things, thanks for this very informative video
this is one of the best advice out there for beginners
Abusé quand même, tu es un gros exemple pour moi.
Force à toi, tu le mérites 🔥
Awesome , viery inspiring man. Just ship.
I think the editing is great.
Love the video, and yes the editing was great :)
Very insightful! I hope you can also share your story Marc on how you learned how to code. Thanks 😊
I love the format of your videos. So fast and to the point. How do you navigate the legal side of running these products? GDPR, terms of service, privacy policy, etc?
A Very Great video Marc, can you make an in depth tutorial on making an application with this stack?
THANKS BRO , you are a inspiration .
Great! Thanks a lot for sharing the tech stack internals. Not a lot of them would like to reveal, However you seem to be a good person :)
4:38 Hi, you can self-host Plausible on your own server. It doesn't take up much ram nor cpu power. It's very nice.
Awesome video and nicely concise
I left a comment on another video, wanting to know the guy's tech stack... and was just recommended this video :) subscribed!
Editing is spot on and this video is very inspiring! I can't even build one project 😥
Thanks for sharing! Great video. Keep your video editor, they did a good job. :)
wow lots of value in this video, editing was good
Wow! Nice you're my inspiration :) I want create saas too and idk how to start, this is helps me a lot, thank you so much Marc ! :)
You're an inspiration! I'm currently working with a similar tech stack, although my backend primarily utilizes Python frameworks such as Flask and Django.
Since I'm new to your channel, I'd like to know the specific niche you focus on for delivering services to your clients and how you acquire clients. If you have a video on finding and getting clients online, that would be awesome.
By the way, thanks for sharing, Marc.
That was very practical advice and very helpful!
Thank you for this
Love it. Subscribed!
Merci pour cette vidéo marc🙏🏾
Wait I just realised you made shipfast?! Seen that on Twitter a tonne. Subbed 🤣
bro that is exactly my tech stack as well. nextjs, tailwind and daisy ui
Thanks for sharing this 🙏🏻
Hi Marc, Thanks for this , very inspiring, Can you make a video on programmatic SEO ?
This is great.
How do you manage to make sure that the code isn't just stolen or shared?
Really nice now I am getting where I need to correct myself
I am a newbie, I chose the website to move forward. anyway, it is a hard-working path.Marc, you are good.
Nice sharing Marc! I want to know more about how your products are hosted on Vercel? Correct me if I’m wrong. As I thought Vercel only takes “projects templates” only.
Thanks for sharing ! 😊
This is the Python tech stack:
Stripe
StreamLit
CSS for customization
PyMongo for MongoDB
Render but Im open to look into Vercel.
You dont need anything else unless you have 1000's of customers. But Im an AI engineer with Python bias.
This is amazing! I can't help but feel like even after 4 years of coding, working, I still take so much time to get projects done in my own time, even after optimising my workflow to the max. How long does an average project take for you?
The editing is great
Can you make a video for begineer in Freelancing to show How to use this stack simply and make a product
Hey marc your editor is cool, professional level videos.
Great content! I like that you always tie back to the business and customer part of things. Editing is simple. Maybe some transitions to make things smoother.
Thanks Mattia!
Great video , hope you all the best
but you mentioned an article about stripe API and it looks like you forgot to put it in the description
Could you please provide it ?
Hi Marc great video, just one question about nextjs: are you using app router or older page router?
If using page router, will you move to app router or stick with the old one that sooner or later will be deprecated?
love the information! thanks
i'm curious, anyone using AWS? i know you stick to the same tech stacks so i'm not recommending you switch over but it's what i've been using for my tech stack and i'm really enjoying it. i find it very flexible, and there's options for just about anything you need to do - whether its a simple website with some features or a more comprehensive application with a robust backend. i got started with AWS because we use it at my job and i wanted to get more practice with some of my own projects, but i'm kind of stuck on it. wondering if its a good lane to stick with or if i should consider other stacks before i get too deep.
Very inspiring, I would be curious to know how you handle the marketing part for each of your product. I feel the most difficult part is to manage to put your product in front of people.
