After several React projects, I recently went “back to the roots” and created an app with server-generated HTML using the ages-old Mustache templates. For interactivity, I added a bit of HTMX, and to have beautiful forms, I added the web co

As a solo founder, I know perfectly how difficult it is to market a product. So I thought: Let's work as a group to make our products look awesome. Let's find customers and convince them to buy. And let's discover how to gain

As software engineers who run a startup, we disregard or even look down on marketing. I wrote a blog post about a change in mindset that I needed to make in order to get my SaaS startups off the ground. What are your ideas about this?

This is cool. Could you please add a LICENSE file so that it's clear what people are allowed to do with your code?

Should I add my tool to the site? ;-)

Yeah, you're right. It really depends on how far they are on their journey.

No, of course not. I'm a big fan of Susan Cain's book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking". Introverts are not necessarily shy or anti-social – these are qualities found in extroverts

Ah, there is food for thought and learning, here. Thanks for sharing, I will try to understand what's going on there.

You're right. My tool (in its current form) is for people who know what they should do but simply don't do it. However, if it's more like "how???", then you might like this popular blog post: https://2q

Cool thing. Guess I shouldn't reinvent the wheel here. Is there an open source example that I could learn from?

Build a model? In the sense of machine learning or in another sense? Cool idea, what could that look like?

So true. I can totally relate because I had the same problem. Whenever I write code, it either runs, or does not. It’s my fault, or I could say: it is my responsibility. This is different with marketing. It depends not only on me but on oth

Why doesn’t this platform offer a “like” button for answers?

No, they want to build and not do marketing, if they could get away with it. Similar to someone who wants to lose weight without exercising. Yes, maybe saying "exercise more" is dumb because it would scare people away or make them

Exactly. Busy, solo introverts deserve to have as much success as extroverts with a team.

I'm targeting people who don't love marketing and are totally busy with something else. At the moment, that's mostly solopreneurs and small startups. It's up to them whether they wanna go down the lifestyle business or t

No, you're not snarky at all! These are great points. AI changed the landscape totally within a few months. I played with AutoGPT 2 weeks ago, and it's absolutely amazing, already today in its (still) raw form. "Brain dead si

Hey, jaggs, thanks for your feedback as well! Of course, the things you mention are all super important, but I thought they might confuse someone who does not have experience in marketing. But on the other hand, I could add them as further

Wow, thanks for those cool ideas, mrieck! I already added AI to spice up the copy that the user enters (it's part of the Advanced plan), but your other ideas go way beyond that, thanks! Indeed, the AI could suggest what to do. Regardin
