The best products:
- Save the user a ton of time
- Make the user money

Does your idea satisfy either or both of these?

@philkellr I realised I can't function without github copilot any more :(

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@EliRichmond33 Er can probably just Google, but here's a good tweet for guidance https://t.co/BFUOo3Ympp

You SU*K at design!🤬

Use this hero section layout

for your next SaaS or Product landing page.

It works like a charm.

Ohh I added, 🖋 copywriting placeholder.

Fill it up and you are ready to go.

Simple yet effective.

@donaldklee VPS also means no surprise billing

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@donaldklee It's basically like having your own heroku or vercel, but without the limitations

@stevemeans_rlsy If you make an effort to keep things modular then it's not too bad breaking things out into services later. All our backed code is Next.js agnostic. We only use next to convert the HTTP request and responses. The service layer and everything inside it is next-free

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@stevemeans_rlsy Built an entire B2B product using it!

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@stevemeans_rlsy I architected it as a modular monolith, so I would not go back on it. Was the fastest was to get things working. I had to jump to through some hoops to get fully automated API tests running in-process tho. The file based routing is not really designed for that

@OngDevLab "shitty fix"

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@philkellr Really inspiring story as always Philipp!

@ksaitor @ohmypy Well if you've already coupled your app to the database then there's not a lot you can do

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@ksaitor @ohmypy It's just an interface you place around all your data access so that your business logic is not coupled to the database

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@ksaitor @ohmypy We did it with our v1. The repository pattern saved us there!

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@OngDevLab It led to the creation of typescript

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@OngDevLab It exists?

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@spence_freeruns Rust.. everyone is raving about it

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@t31kx Poor take... Make a page like this as an Indiehacker and see how many sign ups you get

[Mike @artofsoftwareuk]

@startupsharma But what if their day 3 is further than your day 300? 😂
