I was frustrated with the feedback collection SaaS... So I built mine.
Introducing Insighto - A free (and super-duper-simple) tool to collect customer feedback and ship features your users (really) want.
In this video, I'll share everything from getting the idea, building fast, and launching a micro startup.

Thanks for the reminder to just build simple products to ship fast; I needed it. I so easily get sucked into bigger ideas with more and more features. I build fast, but never ship. Time for that to change.

Thanks always for your videos Marc! You have inspired me to learn React which I have been wanting to learn for a while but have been putting off. I started posting study session content while I learn React to hold myself accountable and I have been getting feedback that the videos have helped some people to stay focused and productive together too which is a big plus. ☺

Very interesting Marc ! Personnaly, I usually get my ideas when reading a book, or when I do nothing. But here is the thing. I get new ideas only when I take action. When I wasn't programming, i didn't get ideas and felt very bad. So guys, as Marc mentionned in the video, how can you start (because to take action you have to have an idea) ? Ask yourself what do you like, and start a project about it. Try to make it a SaaS or not, but start by something that is genuinely interesting to you.

This is great advice. People sometimes they need to come up with the greatest idea of all times, but nothing like just build something and have your friends to use it, once that app is out there your very friends who used the app and liked it will start giving you other ideas for features or other products to develop.

The just build and ship tip to get ideas was pretty good. I've stuck in a rut for a long time with not being able to come up with ideas. About 4 days after the video and I'm about to launch an emberassingly low functionality mvp app soon that I've had on the shelf for months, just so I can get it off and move on to the next project.

The hardest part for me is providing an intuitive frictionless UI. I always go super over the top with multiple pages that dont need to exist. So now im just tearing down a bunch of UI and putting them on the dashboard on a single screen. I probably wasted 2-3 weeks of dev time working on pointless components + styling & design. Meanwhile my backend logic & infrastructure took less than that. Anyone have any good actual UI "templates", I see a lot of them for generic dashboards, but not for more nuanced things like file uploads followed by text inputs in multistep forms.

Ta chaîne est géniale, là je suis chez mes parents depuis quelques mois avec mon diplôme d'ingé en poche : je suis passé par ta phase 2016 en construisant une start-up REVOLUTIONNAIRE avec mes potes (50 users, dont des investisseurs mais visiblement ils ont pas kiffé...), puis j'ai eu une errance de quelques petits mois à me chercher, en faisant des trucs à droite à gauche. Puis le mois dernier je suis tombé sur levelsio et toi-même : la première chose que j'ai faite c'est me remettre au code en codant n'importe quoi pour me remettre dans un mood productif (mon portfolio, des trucs IA que j'ai même pas launch...), et là ça fait une semaine que je suis sur mon premier produit en mode indie hacker (l'algo est fonctionnel ! Manque plus qu'une interface sommaire et une landing page !)

@NirBenita
@NirBenita 27 дней назад
Some points to consider 1. Understand the basics (Consitent margins and padding, 1 or 2 fonts max, find a color palette online and stick to it) 2. Collect a few examples that look good on Dribbble/Pinterest 3. UI is not where you want to innovate - stick to familiar UI patterns, keep it simple. 4. Make sure the overall flow makes sense (Google "Shapeup Breadboarding")

This is an amazing video and congratulations on the launch. But I have a very simple question coming from a non-coding background, I am learning how to code with python all with the help of AI. While you are using JavaScript to build your products, can you recommend me a tech stack that I can stick to for development in Python and yes, is it ideal to use Python or JavaScript for building basic web apps especially with the use of AI embedded to the web app. Thanks!

But i still think its really cool that you are at stripe. The front end team there is doing great work!

Hello. Great work. Just discovered your channel. The Shipfast is talking to developers but the demo seem to me I can use it if I get a step by step guide. I am not a developer but I know some HTML, CSS, Python, and Java. I can read and understand basic codes. Just a little to feel like a coder :) Do you have a guide for someone like me. I surely want to shipfast too. All the products you have are SaaS. Does it work for startup offering services? Thanks for your great work for the community.

Salut Marc, je me retrouve quasiment dans la même situation que toi avant 2021.. sauf que je n'ai absolument aucune connaissance en code. Est-ce que c'est vraiment possible de lancer des SaaS profitables avec uniquement des outils nocode ? Est-ce que tu pourrais faire des vidéos/live sur la recherche d'idée, comment savoir ce dont les gens ont besoin, les processus de validation que tu implémente etc. De tout les business model que j'ai pu trouvé le SaaS est de loin ce qui me convient le plus mais je pars de très loin.

What stops me from launching anything is that I'm worried about commitments or responsibilities. After all, I store customer data. To what extent am I liable if this data is deleted? Is it because the database provider has made a mistake or I have installed a bug? After all, someone has paid money for this service. Are there any tips or things to bear in mind in this regard so that I don't score an own goal? I don't want to be legally prosecuted.
