Would you be interested in a series of SAAS project building tutorials / blog posts?

A great course to have a look at to get some idea of what a good saas course looks like, at least in my opinion, is kibi one. Covers marketing and tech aspects just with enough depth to be very useful and practical for beginners

Personally, nope! I’m more of a newsletter guy myself. Though, this might just be because I have a hard time imagining it.

I guess the first problem is you have to sell me on yourself. Are you a dev with 20 years experience giving me industry secrets? Have you previously made courses? Who are you really Diavlo??? There’s lots of tutorials today, and not enough time—why should I choose yours?

For me, a tutorial is planned out in advance and involves coding along. I also I know the foundational stuff, and building something in another framework/library different than the one I’m using means it won’t really be applicable to me. I usually pick tutorials that are focused on solving a particular knowledge gap, like KeystoneJS or something.

I also know people who livestream as they code to stay accountable. They teach as they debug, though it’s often hard to get viewers.

I think a larger, complex app may make for a good series, just not for me. But wouldn’t that mean either a lot of editing or just reviewing the code after the fact?

Hi Diavlo sounds good - can you point me to your previous Saas products ? With any training I tend to look at the end product and see if its what Im looking for and work backwards. Unfortunately most courses use over simplified apps and sites, which look and feel terrible and even though concepts may be valid - I get an overriding feeling of "Meh" - Im going to have put in all this time, effort and money just to achieve that !

I would expect the sample / tutorial sites to look as and functional as the major saas players today (e.g good layout, content, functionality)

As a POC I would present a landing page with two live sites - one built with nocode, one built with code, with all features presents (authentication, payment, landing page, etc). Have sign up / early access button for each course / landing page and see what has the most traction. I would split into two courses - as they are very distinct markets (code / nocode)

In terms of tech stack would just keep pure javascript, html and css. Polluting with other techs at this stage wont help you - (you can provide other versions of course later)

Another nice feature - not done with many courses is to provide links to other courses for suggested background if you dont want to go into this detail (e.g javascript language concepts). This type of course will be weighted towards beginners albeit highly motivated ones.

BTW I would say this is a big effort to do right - prob 1-2 years of development on your side. You prob didnt want to hear that - but then again I havent actually seen a course like this done right yet :-)
