Day 7 of #ShipSpeed

The MVP of ShipSpeed is now complete!

It took way longer than I thought it would, but that always happens.

Although this is the MVP, it is JUST the beginning

I plan to add...
-Website generation
-More automation
-And more!

P.S. beta waitlist is coming soon!

Day 0(4) of #ShipFast

Today I did nothing.

That’s it.

I could tell you the excuses “I didn’t have enough time” or “I was too busy”, but I wouldn’t waste your time.

I messed up. I will do better tomorrow.

Day 0.02 of #ShipSpeed.

I feel like I’ve gone backwards.

If you’re new, I’m building ShipSpeed, a platform to ship apps faster.

However, I have SO many bugs.

AI debugging was a mess, and I felt stuck.

I managed to:
-Finish and fine-tune metadata creation
-Start implementing auto submission

Day 0.1 of #ShipSpeed

ShipSpeed is a platform that automates the process of shipping apps

Today was mostly proof of concept

I..
-Setted up auth with Clerk (was super easy)
-Integrated Supabase for the db
-Started creating the metadata creation

I plan to...
-Complete the metadata creation feature

Am I the only one who's annoyed by this?

Imagine you just finished your SaaS app…

Now you need to worry about:
-Marketing
-ASO
-Distribution
-User retention
and so much more

Post-dev sucks.

I plan to change that.

Another day another startup

I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel each time I created an app, so I forked Jaseyacey’s repo and created github.com/AlexThyCoole...: The Shipfast for Expo apps

It includes:
-Supabase
-Expo
-Resend
- and more

It’s still in the beta stage and contributions are welcomed

Didn’t realize how long it would take to launch.

It’s been weeks since I finished my MVP for Rezippi, my app that creates recipes from your ingredients.

I kept telling myself “one more day” for 2 weeks.

Learn from me: launch your half-baked product. Fail fast, ship faster.

People will use it.

Just create it.

If I had a penny for every time I or someone said “one more feature” or “I don’t know how to…” I’d be rich.

If you are waiting, procrastinating, or doubting, this is your sign to create that idea you always had. You’ll learn 10 times more shipping than stalling.

Just create it.

I’ll start first.

When I was coding Rezippi, my newest AI-powered SaaS, I ran into the death spiral. Luckily, it was not my first rodeo so I was able to handle it well.

My solution to this is to use Git to save you previous versions of you code so you can revert to them.

What problems or challenges have you run into while vibe coding?

It can be something small, like hallucinations or messy AI output.

Or something big, like falling into a death spiral of bugs and rewrites.

Drop your challenges (and your solutions if you have them) below👇

Just finished creating my 3 week long project: Rezippi. An AI powered recipe creation app using YOUR ingredients.

Plan to launch it soon, but the wait list is ready:

rezippi-waitlist.netlify.app

I plan to make it paid, but the first 50 people wait listed will get early access as beta testers.

In one hour, I just created a site to solve your SaaS idea creative block.

The site collects data from research papers to Reddit, so the ideas are things people would actually pay for.

I have a new appreciation for software “updates” that are just bug fixes.

Because that’s exactly what happened to me.

On #DevDash, the profile editing page broke in every way possible.

It took me a week to fix.

Let me know if I missed anything: getdevdash.vercel.app

It's sometimes not what you want to hear, but always what you need to hear

I need feedback for #DevDash.

You can view it with this link: getdevdash.vercel.app

**PLEASE GIVE ME BRUTAL FEEDBACK.

I need this feedback to improve the platform.

Just deployed #DevDash to the public!

It is in alpha, and I plan to drastically change the platform soon.

MVP for DevDash

Devs overthink all the time and just don't ship (me included)

So, I decided to create DevDash, a platform that turns green squares into rewards

So, what do you think? What should I add/remove/modify?

I want to reach out to my target audience before I add any unnecessary features ;)

My code on Zed

Very basic landing page of my app

Almost finished with my Flash version of ShipFast, a boilerplate codebase to ship products faster for indie hackers.

Not sure what to call it, but if you're interested in the code, I can share the repo.

Tech stack:

-Python (for Flask and backend)
-HTML
-Tailwind
-Supabase
-Mailjet
-Stripe

This year I decided to start Indie Hacking.

What tools/resources do you recommend I use to kick start my journey?

Hey, just joined Bluesky. Excited to see what it brings. Hopefully related to what I actually want to see and not just politics lol
