- Hey friends - Welcome back to the channel for another week of building out my side SaaS: Bench Box!
Truthfully, I started hand-jamming stuff into the app and felt like I was pushing forward, but on the wrong parts...So in this video I take a step back to finish designing out flows & screens to realign myself with the MVP.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the video! ❤️

I love that you said “Start with the crawl, and level yourself up the ladder.”
Heck yeah, Coach! Big believer that all journeys are marathons and not sprints …if you want it to last forever 🙌🏼❤️
Old school pen and paper - LOVE IT!!! This video brought so much value to my software development journey. Mad love from New Orleans❤💪🔥
Love to see the old school supplies!😂🙌🏼🙌🏼 I appreciate the support & glad to have you on this journey! See you next week!🤘🏼👊🏼
Sometimes when the tech is too much good old pen and paper are perfect!
Facts!🙌🏼 my trusty pen and paper never fail😂
Yessir just got that book

I'm thinking to build a local first app too, I'd be interested to hear your thought process of choosing a storage solution and why you were going to go with watermelondb and why you decided realm was better
Amazing question! Honestly there was some articles that realm came out with that converted me - medium.com/realm/mongodb-realm-flexible-sync-a-primer-by-an-engineer-for-an-engineer-afe547aa96f2
This article goes over a ton of states I didn’t think about, and realm totally solves it!
Good video, keep it up! 😊💪 I usually just default to Supabase for auth and storage, with the plan to move to aws later if the thing I’m building is scaling 😅 Can I ask, why do you opt for noSQL and mongodb instead of something like postgres w/supabase? :)
Love the brief appearances of Michael here and there 😂
More importantly I felt a real local-first approach was important for this app!
I can think of many times I was at sawmills or out in my garage with no internet service and other apps I liked just had a bad user experience.
Realm with MongoDB does this the best from what I’ve seen so far - and I don’t think I needed a bunch of join-like queries :).
The downside with Mongo is it doesn’t support blob storage, thus S3 or Supabase. I’m leaning towards SB because I’m already planning to use SB auth!
@@_andrewpeacock Ah, that makes total sense! In general it’s good for a mobile app to have a strong offline UX, but maybe especially for Workbench. As you say, people might be woodworking from places with weak or no connectivity. And I’m sure many also simply turn off data to reduce usage 👍👍
Definitely something becoming more mainstream, so hopefully it’ll help reduce my costs too!😂🙌🏼
Explain design step by step 👏
Okay! Is there any particular part you’re looking to understand better?:)
Really like this approach. The “just ship it “ approach is no longer valuable because you end up spending so much time on rework later 😂
I definitely think there’s a healthy balance between!!
But damn, it’s hard to hit at times. You’ll see in this next video (Sunday) I may or may not have gone to far on one and 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Clean your screen maybe? :)
Hahaha you caught me! You’re right - I need to be better about cleaning my screen😂
