  • Welcome back to another day in the life building my community startup in NYC! Today I'm revealing how I grew a waitlist of emails (+ paying pre-order users) for a new app idea I had a few months ago. This is the exact step-by-step flow I used to validate a startup idea before starting the build on it. Other than that, we're just kicking into another regular build vlog! Enjoy!

    The process is sound 👏🏻 one key piece was missing though: driving traffic to the landing page and how that’s done. Arguably the most challenging part for tech founders who’ve never done sales before. Soooo food for thought for a follow up video maybe? 😉 I’ll also release a new video on the topic in the next weeks. Keep up the good work, Jacob!

    You should really make an in depth video about your tech stack. I also love the PERN stack, but am having trouble figuring out hosting, marketing, analytics and I think it would be super helpful to other developers. Love the videos keep it up ❤

    • @JacobSucksAtCode

      Keep it basic. Don’t think about hosting, marketing or analytics until you need to 😁

    What do you think of AWS? How cost effective is it compared to DigitalOcean let’s say. (I know it depends on use case)
    Would love to watch a video where you explain where and how you deploy/manage your services and what does that cost to you.

    you didn’t develop 2:06 the queue system as a separate microservice? Its only for slack now. What if you need the queue system for other integration have it too?
    Let’s use some. rabbitmq, or any.?

      ​@JacobSucksAtCode I was a huge js fan boy but after I got my first job in a Corp environment using c# I just don't think I can trust the loosey goosey nature of js anymore...
      Even with ts, typing is just a suggestion, the code will still run even with errors...
      I like the compiler to punish me if I'm being naughty😈

      Web dev is websites and web applications. Mobile dev is specifically for mobiles such as iOS and Android frameworks 😁
