whats going on bro! amazing content thank you!! So im using typescript for an MVP im shipping, do you reccomend taking the time to do a course since i've only used JS/React in the past? I also have experience for over a year. I just dont want the learning curve to eat into the progress of my dev time to build features for my MVP.
if you build it with passion it is no hussle - because it will come naturally. You're an inspiration buddy! keep it up!
Congrats on the insane fast build of your startup! Very inspiring to see your progress for someone who is learning react and wanting to build their own products. Keep it up
It's coming out great! It's always so motivating when you actually start to see the project come alive!
This is such a great video. I am a ar/vr dev in unity/ art-technologist and i just love love love your videos. I literally wait on them to come out. This video here and the build break down really makes me want to have the skill set of full stack dev. I just love your breakdown of the way you solve problems you love it so much that the way you talk about it comes of poetic to me lol. Keep up the good work we are watching you and supporting from afar whether you fail or not.
love the design. Amazing job jacob.
love these longer videos! Keep it up beast💪❤
Finally my favorite moment, new videos of Jacob!!!
Man your timing is amazing....i just opened youtube to watch your video for motivation....by the way ...please make a video on what topics are to be understood in javascript before jumping onto react and typescript along with next.....
Quality of the video man is 🔥, perfect time that you uploaded cause I am studying coding as we speak!
Great video as always! I like when you show your code and you explain it!
best motivation to work on startup even after hard work day
You're my idol when it comes to discipline, hard work, content and positivity. Thanks man for everything. love your videos!
I just checked it out and I think its amazing! The idea is perfect and I hope it does well! I'm a junior in high school and I'm learning Next.js in my mobile applications class and this definitely gave me a lot of motivation. Thank you and keep up the insane work!
This is sick ! Congrats man incredible product built really quick
another video of jacob very hype!🙌. keep up the work man!
I really like that kind of practical people, have an idea, do it and show it.
I really love this channel and what Jacob has come up with, this man has really inspired me to flex my idea muscles and start building, I have 2 big project ideas because of you. Cheers mate, keep on going🌠

Great to hear!
Hey Jacob. Great videos but I personally would love to hear the other side of the story briefly too which is the part about how you sustain your life in NYC without having a full-time job. I think it'd be quite beneficial for a lot of people to understand how things work if they have the dream of building a start-up without having a job but still being able to make a living. E.g. is this "dev hackathon" helping you out financially or are you currently getting paid by kiki? I think that part is a little confusing so it'd be amazing if you could give us some insight on that. Cheers!
This is so good Jacob build first then iterate learnt from you
omg im so hyped this is such a great thing to wake up to
Hey mate, I love your videos and been watching them for a while now. It's so interesting for me as a student to follow your process of shipping products. Big thumbs up from me in Denmark🤩
almost 30 minutes that didn't feel at all! Nice vid man keep up the grind, you're on the path to be a hugeeeee content creator just for the amazing things that you show up and teach to everyone here! Hope the launch goes perfect!

Nice tech stack 🤩
Juat a suggestion, but when soft deleting just have a column that says isDeleted instead of checking a column to see if a date is null or not. With the isDeleted column you are being explicit as well as using the appropriate tool for the job. If you need to keep the most recent date for a user then the column updatedAt should do the trick. Great video though!
Let's goooo Jacob!!! 🔥
Good luck Jacob with your project. Loved you showing the code and what each segment did. Stripe is king, paypal is poo poo.
Love the content! Instead of making an existing user leave the server and join back which causes them to lose any other roles they had, get them to link their discord account to your service. User pays -> asked to link their discord using discord’s oauth -> you save their user info -> provide invite link. That way you’ll be able to grab whatever info you want directly from discord.

Yeah 100%! Defs adding this, just gotta prioritise MVP launch 😂
One big question: How do you handle EU payment? Basically all EU countries would have the tax included in the price i as a creator would choose there and the user would also pay the price i choose there, while in the US it would the tax on top(?). It also would be nice to set a certain date as payment interval. Because it's much easier for tax purposes to have a single big "i got X€ on the 1. of the month" position in the report.
As someone who knows fuck all about coding. It's so interesting how writing stuff makes a Web page look so smooth.
Such a great UI 😁
watching me this made me enjoy my knowledge
this is sick , I want to make something like that , can you share what tech stack did you use for this
I'm wondering how did you do the types from nestjs with swagger. Can you share some article or documentation for it? I also want to connect my nestjs types to nextjs front end

This is super awesome I and every other dev dream of doing this! But I must ask why are you writing your back end in TS I am familiar with nestjs. I just don't see how writing your back end in TS makes any kind of sense maybe someone can take the time to explain why it may or may not be a good idea

First time watching your videos, I'm also a SaaS founder, you have a good product here!
hi Jacob, just wondering if you want to university and got a degree and if so do you think it is worth it in order to be a software engineer.
Really love your progress! Just wondering, did you talk to other creators prior to building the platform? Being the user of your own product is a big plus, but having only one data point could be risky. I am also an engineer, so I totally understand the urge to prioritize building. Wish you luck with the startup, wanna see you succeed!

I'm going to move to a rural apartment that I own in a small town. I've been living in the city for almost a year and half paying rent, and renting that rural house for not more than 15-25% than the rent I'm paying in the city. Obviously I have to work a lot to sustain myself, also because of my country regulations(Cuba) it's not easy to have a good long term job with contract and so on, so basically I've been jumping from project to project not always increasing my salary/benefits. Rn I'm in a burnout of working fast paced until the point code quality/good practices is absolutely discouraged. I've been thinking of going full solo for a while now. These videos inspire me a lot although our life conditions are so different.

I assume you will abstract the service's APIs (Discord, WhatsApp, ...), so that you just need to connect each via that "abstraction layer" instead of rewriting half of your app for each service. I don't have a lot of experience with such things, so I'm curious to see how you handle this, and how much of a struggle this could end up being.
