    Following specific keywords on the Fastlane Forum

    IDEA 
    I was also thinking more about the Google Alerts idea. If anything will pop up there at all, I think the alert would only trigger if your keyword is in the title or at the beginning of your post. So no alerts if following posts in the thread mention your keyword. Also, not sure how timely Google...

    Following specific keywords on the Fastlane Forum

    IDEA 
    Thanks for your input! I feel like I need 3 more interested people to start building it soon :happy: But I might also just do it for fun someday on a weekend. One concern would be that usually these social places and forums are built in a pull-not-push information way for a reason, so that...

    Following specific keywords on the Fastlane Forum

    IDEA 
    Agree. Still, whether they use the tool or not to solely promote their services, I think the forum will let them know rather quickly to stop doing that. I like your Alerts idea and I have a few alerts set up, but I don’t think you can set up a Google Alert for a certain domain like...

    Following specific keywords on the Fastlane Forum

    IDEA 
    Hey folks, We are all busy, but we still want to stay up to date with our topics and help folks with their questions efficiently here on the forum. So, I would like to follow specific keywords, like "API", "web API", "automation", "coding", "SaaS", etc., and get notified about them accordingly...

    Growing An Automation Business

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Cool, I'll drop you a PM with his contact :) Let me know if you have any ideas around ClickFunnels, I might be able to connect some dots there. Thanks for checking it out and appreciating the funky setup and content :D I used Jekyll for my first tech blog some years ago ({ datagoodie })...

    Growing An Automation Business

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    If you are interested in going down this route: I have a freelancer friend who recently shared with me how he went from web development Bootcamp to Big freelancer on Upwork (Basically, intentionally under-pricing in the beginning and communicating it when doing the bids until you have a few...

    Tech stack when buying a SaaS business as a side hustle

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    That's a fair point, good numbers are rare. And you are right, looking at most code should be sensible enough. Worst case, one can get together with someone experienced in the stack for an hour from Upwork or codementor (might cost like a 100$). Appreciate you laying out your thought process...

    Tech stack when buying a SaaS business as a side hustle

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I’ve recently checked out some portals for buying SaaS businesses: Flippa, empire flippers, acquired.com, etc. I really liked that acquire.com are kind of tech stack aware, so you see from the beginning the stack that the business uses. I know that I should rather look at the business value...

    “Why most of us won’t achieve Financial Independence early”

    Interesting! What do you mean by "without an ideological TMF wrapper"?

    “Why most of us won’t achieve Financial Independence early”

    MINDSET 
    I see this translated to a similar comic for fastlaners: https://thewokesalaryman.com/2022/06/01/why-most-of-us-wont-achieve-financial-independence-early/ “100 economics students, guided by a brave professor, were forced to read TMFL. They met 10 years later. This is their story…” But back to...

    Becoming a developer in 2022: Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I think you underestimate yourself! If someone explained this to you, you’d grok it within a few minutes, especially having dipped into coding now. The screenshot shows a sum loop symbol on the left that sets n at 0 for the first iteration, then 1, etc. Each time you put n into the equation and...

    Becoming a developer in 2022: Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    That's a good one if you are aiming for web development. But OP is more into cool stuff at the moment like data, AI, and games ;)

    Becoming a developer in 2022: Progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I think the suggestion with JS is fine and makes sense, but why do you recommend PHP to a beginner who does not exactly know what they want from their coding learning journey? You can do all the backend stuff just fine with node.js once you need it, so no real need for another backend language...

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    The only way I'd do it, too, keeping a centralised codebase for all of my clients. Otherwise, you make a little change, fix a bug, add a feature and you have 100 clients with clones of your system. How comfortable is it to update all of them? I want to deploy a change any second a client needs...
