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"
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
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 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
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
Finally!! someone get the things done, without complaining and chasing shinny objects. Nice work!!
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.
"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.
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!
best video in youtube for software engineers hands down and I have been doing SE for 10+ years. Bravo!
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
So much packed into one video, you sir will get a subscription.
What the heck. You are the living embodiment of “default to action”. Kudos to creating so much.
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?
Your videos are so transparent. Simply great!!
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.
Very encouraging to see you using the techstack I used on my Bootcamp, as a beginner.
Thank you for this. It's a real dose of clarity.
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.
the editing is good marc... keep trust the editor works
Great video as always Marc! Just signed up to your newsletter, looking forward to reading it.
The muscle analogy at the end nailed it 🎉
as always great video, love your pragmatic & no-BS approach
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
Awesome approach about telling how to get things done in the easiest/right way. 👍🏻 nice video dude.
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.)
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
Loved the video Marc!
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 😅
can't say enough thanks for the informations you share, keep it up bro!
Dude. This is epic. Just started my Dev journey. Thanks!
Great video. This is the most helpful video I have watched for a while! Thank you so much for sharing!
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 👏.
Question: How do you organize your day and week to get so much done? thanks for sharing, love your content and your spirit!
Amazing video thanks Mark! Keep it up!
Great video as always Marc!
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.
Nice! This is very insightful. Thanks for sharing, bro! 😀
Thanks friend, good to see you here!
"Customers don't care about the tech stack". Picking a tech stack was a big daunting factor that bogged me down. I'll remember this advice, thank you!
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.
I love daisy ui combined with tailwind and next! great stack
Thanks for the insightful video! The video editing was good, i liked it.
this is one of the best advice out there for beginners
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 :)
well said, thank you for sharing, and congrats on your success man!
Awesome , viery inspiring man. Just ship.
I think the editing is great.
Awesome video and nicely concise
Wow! Man, you knock my all tech stack confusion.
Very insightful! I hope you can also share your story Marc on how you learned how to code. Thanks 😊
A Very Great video Marc, can you make an in depth tutorial on making an application with this stack?
On point. straight forward. loved it.
Hi can you make a video about what to learn as a beginner. A road map to reach your level. Thank you
Abusé quand même, tu es un gros exemple pour moi.
Force à toi, tu le mérites 🔥
Marc, you are an inspiration.
Love the video, and yes the editing was great :)
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?
Your words worth gold, thank you!
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.
I left a comment on another video, wanting to know the guy's tech stack... and was just recommended this video :) subscribed!
wow lots of value in this video, editing was good
Thanks for the insight into your techstack. Really awesome apps you have created 🔥
That was very practical advice and very helpful!
Editing is spot on and this video is very inspiring! I can't even build one project 😥
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!
Excellent vid! Thank you.
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.
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.
"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
Thanks bro for the transparency, I am an app developer and looking to learn some new things, thanks for this very informative video
Great content! Would be nice to know how you got started learning how to code!
This is great.
How do you manage to make sure that the code isn't just stolen or shared?
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.
do you edit your own videos? I love the simplistic style and wondering what your workflow for filming, ongoing video file storage, and editing looks like. Great stuff brother!
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.
really smart thoughts! Totally agree. Just wondering - do you use anything for automatic testing?
Marc, thank you!!
Can you make a video for begineer in Freelancing to show How to use this stack simply and make a product
Really nice now I am getting where I need to correct myself
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.
Hey Marc! I just want to say I am extremely grateful that you are sharing all your knowledge with us. You make the daunting task of building startups seem very simple and achievable.
I got someone to help with the video editing, what do you think? 🤔
It’s really simple editing and if he added some transitions with adding elements like pop or fade, it would look more smooth 🙂 Love your content
Please don't zoom in out, don't make movements right left too much in videos. It is distracting and i can't focus :/ But rest is cool appreciate
It is simple and nice editing. How much are you paying?
Really good!
love it. these videos are improving every single time. been following you for about 6 months, i'm becoming a big fan.
As someone who wants to get the basics of making web front ends to make my backends friendly, I would like to know what made you decide to not use bootstrap at all?
Love it. Subscribed!
Thanks for sharing! Great video. Keep your video editor, they did a good job. :)
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.
and suddenly, after over a month of procrastination and doom scrolling, i feel motivated again. Just like that! . Thanks man!
THANKS BRO , you are a inspiration .
I just found you channel and I think is great! thanks
I promise myselft to work really hard and boost my skills on these techstack. You made me realise it's not worth it to know really deep to earn my first dollar.
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?
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 ?
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 ! :)
Great video, I think that it would be nice if you make some course on how to make production ready app/product with this tech stack.
