👷‍♂️Just Build It. What are you waiting for?
đź’§You're never going to have the perfect conditions, the stars will never align, and the one thing you do have is running out: time.
Time is running out, time to beat the past you and jump into the suit of your future self to create and contribute to the world as best you can.
We're going places because we've always gone places, because it's always where we were going.
Face your shit head on, and let's go.
Note to self.
I've built a lot of things without thinking about whether there's an audience for an idea or whether it can actually solve a pain. Because, as developers and builders we sometimes tend to produce without much thought, but I don't recommend it tbh.
Always start with why, validate your idea, do some marketing, create content, audience, etc., and then start building.
Hey @jakkvega, this is GREAT advice, and something that I always read and never took to heart.
I've recently built the MVP for my newest idea in about 7 days. It was really important to get my idea in front of people as quickly as possible.
Would love to check out what you're building, I've linked my SaaS below.
Cheers :)

He-he. Good for you! Dive in and swim for your life.
Good luck!
thank you, head first lol
Lol, I am creating one too. It seems like it is worth trying to catch some of the tidal wave of interest in this tech.
I am learning machine learning too but the cool thing about ChatGPT is that it is accessible as an API so not really different to anything else, e.g. sending an email from mailgun.
Please drop a link when it is ready. Mine I am slowly rolling out a post at a time:

I actually just took a look at this, great job! If I wasnt using Vue I'd totally try it out, but some good patterns for sure.
Thanks! I am in two minds about whether to continue as having written out the steps (and had some troubles redeploying another project) I am no longer convinced of Firebase and even doubting NextJS! I think the setup is a little too tricky and the gains of using serverless here really outweight the headaches. So I will think about whether to continue.
I am sort of thinking a simpler django/htmx setup might be good for fast MVP development.
I completely agree with you; let's think, evaluate, and start taking action!
Here’s a great tip thats working for me. I had been working on an MVP for several weeks but progress had been slow. Other priorities often stalled progress. Everything changed after I put out a “Coming Soon” page for my product. Haven’t got many leads but knowing that the page is out there keeps me motivated.

Let's go, I have just finished the first MVP for one of my side project ideas today, I kept looking at it, and it feels so good. More to that soon.
Love this. One additional point I would add is to launch quickly so you know if people actually want what you're building.
If you want Auto Generated Phone Number, you will have the opportunity to maintain your anonymity. When you don't want to give out your real telephone number, you can use this to fill out forms instead. Because these numbers are constructed utilizing the documentation from all carriers, they are exempt from any and all verification rules. Get hold of your real-life phone number.

Thanks for the reminder! What’s the app in the picture?
Haha anytime! It's an image generator on top of the p5 engine.
