#BuildInPublic

One of the Laravel's features that I love most, is that testing feels wonderful. 🔧

It's easy, it's fast and it's very intuitive.
I simply love it. ❤

#Laravel #BuildInPublic

Would you be interested to learn how much I earn with @Rule34App?

If you don't know, it's a NSFW web app to browse image boards.

I know that being NSFW might turn some faces around, but I think it's quite interesting.

#BuildInPublic

Next step for @Constant_Link is the “Demo” page

Let's see what I can build…

#BuildInPublic

I haven't been tweeting because I was in a weird mood

No one signing up for @Constant_Link definitely affected me more than I though

Anyway, I'm back
If you need help or would like to chat about anything, I'm here

#BuildInPublic

As a #BuildInPublic developer, I celebrate both: wins and loses…

And @Constant_Link BETA launch was a complete fail.
Not even one user registered. 😅

Anyway, I'll try to launch on ProductHunt and see if that works out.

#SaaS

I have created a tutorial for #Laravel

“How to build a free plan in Laravel Spark”

#tutorial #beginners #buildinpublic
blog.akbal.dev/how-to-build-a…

I fixed a serious bug just today, on @Constant_Link's BETA launch day. 😅

It was an error with relationship counting:
It was counting total projects as every user own projects.

#BuildInPublic #Laravel

Hey! Are you interested in trying a BETA version of @Constant_Link?

Starting tomorrow, I will publish the site and enable registration!

All you have to do is sign up and play with it.

I would appreciate if you could give some feedback. 🙌❣️

#BuildInPublic #SaaS #Laravel

This is the current state of @Constant_Link's “Dashboard” page. 📊

It's simple, but it informs you of everything you should know.

Would you change anything?

#BuildInPublic #Laravel #SaaS

Wondering how @Constant_Link is sending emails? 🤔

I'm using @Mail_Gun!
I tried using AWS SES, but I didn't like the experience.

Yes, mailgun is expensive compared to SES, but I'm on the “Flex” plan, so the first 1k emails per month are free. 😋

#BuildInPublic #Laravel #SaaS

I'm going to try to Tweet a lot more from now on!

I hope that you enjoy my content. 😆

#BuildInPublic

@Constant_Link @anasdraws_ Today I've been working on the subscriptions!

I've completely switched from Stripe to Paddle 🥳💸

This change was much easier thanks to Laravel Spark
… And a lot of tinkering to “create” a Free plan

#BuildInPublic #Laravel #SaaS

I'm very proud of how I'm handling all my infrastructure:

All my apps/websites run containerized and managed by Dokku 🔧

I like it, it is clean and secure, plus deploying is a breeze

#BuildInPublic #DevOps

@Constant_Link @anasdraws_ Aaand this is the pricing section 💸

I keep wondering if the prices are all right, or if I should increase them 🤔

What do you think?

#BuildInPublic #Design #SaaS

@Constant_Link Back to the juicy parts…

This is how @Constant_Link's landing page looks 😍

It explains how the process works using @anasdraws_ beautiful illustrations

I'll show more in the next days, so stay tuned 😉

#BuildInPublic #Design #SaaS

And Continuous Integration (CI) too!
But only on the “staging” branch

This GitHub Action builds @Constant_Link and runs its test suite every time I push a commit

It's awesome, isn't it?

#BuildInPublic #DevOps

And now back to DevOps…

As I mentioned before, I have a system to deploy @Constant_Link directly to my server

And now, I have automated it!
Whenever I “git push” to “main”, the website gets built and deployed

All thanks to @github actions 💪🥰

#BuildInPublic #DevOps

Don’t know how, but I have reached a funny number of followers, nice! 🥳

Thank you everyone, I hope you’re enjoying my #BuildInPublic journey 🥰

@Constant_Link @anasdraws_ @ZenkitHQ @getsentry Just registered constant.link on Google Search Console!

This is the first step in building SEO

Next is… an actual website 🤣
