    In this video, I'll share my thoughts on Indie Hacking, and the superpower that we devs have though never use.
    We code for our employers but never for our own business ideas that could generate extra income monthly.
    I'll show you one project that I found quite fascinating that generates the creator of it $50k per month, AND it's something that you or I could have built, probably in a few weeks time.

    I’m not going to lie. I was stuck on the hamster wheel for app development. Marc Lou gave me the motivation to push through that and make a SaaS. In the process of making that SaaS I ran into another issue. Paused that SaaS to make another SaaS that solves that issue. That’s how it works! Find an issue in your life you can solve with software. Solve it. Ship it.

    Would you consider doing a video on Tauri? It's basically Electron but written in Rust, and it's extensible if your write your own plug-in APIs in Rust too. It's not as mature or well-known as Electron, and since the trend seems to be towards Rust, maybe some spotlight on it might help bring some contributors. Thanks!

    This is a fantastic idea, but I'm not a huge fan of either DB option. Either I'm locked into Supabase as a service (I know they have an open-source ORM), or I'm locked into the NoSQL server MongoDB. Would love to see the Auth JS option opened up to more traditional (SQL) DBs.

There are many laravel dashboards templates but none of them are actually easy to setup with the basic like authentication, db connect or even components ( tailwind can be used too ). if you can automate or speed that up, you are in 👍
