My #serverless page change watch application is starting to look pretty okayish!

How do you #buildinpublic people get yourselves to release something?
I always feel like... I still need to add this "one" thing.
What happened this week in my side-project sitemynotion.com?

* Codebase & DB Schema cleanup
* Google & Github SSO for users to sign up & in
* Moved the whole thing to AWS
* Basic functionality for user tiers & limits
* LOTS of simplifications

This wasn't as bad as expected.

Moving the new application to an #AWS EC2 instance was a pretty painless experience. My thanks go to docker and certbot for supporting me through this journey.

I just pulled all parts of sitemynotion.com into one monolithic application and started using an ORM (prisma <3).

Is a separate express-based API overkill for an MVP?

From now on I'll just go with one cloud provider.

So far I've used multiple VPS providers, just to save a few bucks. Is this really worth the effort?
I'd rather become an expert and efficient on one platform.

From now on, all my apps just go on #AWS

And the best part about it:
Each step in this list includes all the previous steps.

Everything you consume is learning.

Everything you build is understanding.

Everything you share is marketing.
Adding authentication to sitemynotion.com is so much effort.

It should be so simple. Drop-in passport.js and you're done.
In practice, there is a lot of UI work and many tasks behind it if you cover all e-mail confirmation and password flows.

Don't run into the fallacy of building quietly.

Since the backend management part of sitemynotion.com is still in progress. I just added the possibility to try it out with your own notion pages.

The #backend stuff is also fun.

Currently adding a backend for the admin interface. This will allow per-domain configurations for the layout and displayed sites on the notion site generator sitemynotion.com

Couldn't agree more.
I realized this way too late, but #buildinpublic is just the way to go.
Also really helps to keep yourself accountable.
"How can I learn a new skill?"

Build stuff.

"How can I get leads for work?"

Build stuff and share it.

"How can I grow my network?"

Build stuff, share it and help others build stuff.
@tom_hirst So true.

I realized this way too late, but #buildinpublic is just the way to go.
Also really helps to keep yourself accountable.
Making progress on switchable site layouts.

Today I've added a second layout for the notion site generator. Looking good so far!

#saas #buildinpublic
Pretty convinced the basic concept of rendering notion pages in fast html templates is cool.

Currently trying to figure out which features the MVP absolutely needs.

Let's #buildinpublic a notion website generator #SaaS

Setting up a #landingpage and talking about sitemynotion.com feels already way more productive than 10 days of working on the app in "stealth mode".

#indiehackers #webdevelopment
Let's build a #saas in public!

Today I created the #LandingPage for sitemynotion.com and quickly setting it up and getting it out there already feels like a lot more progress than the "stealth" approach.
