TypeScript adoption grew 50% year-over-year from 2020-2024. Why? Type safety catches bugs before runtime. The 5 minutes spent adding types saves hours debugging.

Updated Nudgd to include Docker configs. Someone requested it last week. Took a day to implement. Shipped it today. This is the pace I want to maintain.

The first website ever made is still online at info.cern.ch. Created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. It explains what the World Wide Web is. History preserved in HTML.

Interesting stat: 80% of people using Nudgd choose Postgres. 15% MongoDB. 5% other. Makes me think I should focus on what people actually use.

MongoDB was designed for web-scale applications from day one. Released in 2009, it challenged the SQL-only mindset. Today it powers Forbes, Adobe, and thousands of SaaS companies.

Someone asked why Nudgd focuses on SaaS starters. Simple: that's what I build. That's what I know. Better to do one thing well than many things poorly.

SaaS Magic Number = (New ARR / Sales & Marketing spend) x 4. Above 0.75 is good. Above 1.0 is excellent. Measures how efficiently you're growing. Unit economics matter.

That's a fair judgement but I wanted to get my product out with least friction as possible and get actual feedback first before monetizing it.

GraphQL was created by Facebook in 2012 and open-sourced in 2015. It solved their mobile data fetching problem. Now used by GitHub, Shopify, Airbnb. Good APIs spread.

The main priority was that the generated code is easy to edit and takes very less time.

Twilio's API documentation is considered best-in-class. They discovered that good docs increase API adoption by 35%. Developer experience drives growth.

The code Nudgd generates isn't perfect. But it's clean, it works, and it follows best practices. I spent weeks reviewing PRs from popular boilerplates to get it right.

Absolutely

Kubernetes orchestrates containers across servers. The name comes from Greek, meaning "helmsman" or "pilot." Google open-sourced it in 2014 after running their infrastructure on it for years.

Three months ago I had an idea. Today 89 developers have used Nudgd to start their projects. Some days building in public is terrifying. Other days it's the best decision I ever made.

Connect to GitHub button was confusing with no proper feedback when clicked.

Got my first piece of negative feedback on Nudgd today. They said the UI is confusing. They're right. Already working on a redesign. This is why you ship early.

The best SaaS companies have 3-5% month-over-month growth when starting. Sounds small? That's 42-80% annual growth. Compound growth is powerful. Consistency beats spikes.

The feature I'm most proud of in Nudgd? The database schemas. They're not just basic CRUD. They include indexes, relationships, migration files. The stuff you'd actually build.

AWS launched in 2006 with just 3 services: S3, EC2, and SQS. Now it has over 200 services. Sometimes starting small and iterating beats launching complete.

Why Nudgd generates code instead of being a framework: I wanted developers to own their code. No lock-in. No dependencies on my service. Just clean, customized code you can modify.

CAP theorem: you can only have 2 of 3 - Consistency, Availability, Partition tolerance. Every distributed system makes this trade-off. Understanding it prevents architectural mistakes.

Month 2 of building Nudgd. Still not profitable but getting close. 73 developers have used it. Some are coming back for second projects. That's the real validation.
