I created a SaaS in 6 hours

[adamhendron]

Last week I felt a pain. I had an idea of how to solve it. After 6 hours of thinking and coding and ignoring all best practices for starting a new project I just deployed it.
Prior to that I just did a quick research and secured the domain https://nps.ninja
No clue where this is going
I know for sure that I will be using it. Maybe some of my colleagues as well. Will let you know when I hit 1m ARR

@adamhendron Wow 6 hours is impressive. It took me months to build a simple AI wrapper. That's because I spent a significant amount of time overthinking everything. I envy people like you who can make a decision and then ship.

 

[adamhendron]

@carose Basically, it was just some coding. Downside is I never think about if anyone needs it

@carose i built a free, open-source saas starter to solve that problem: https://opensaas.sh

@lovelife34 That's very nice of you, however I can't stand React and so I did something similar with Sveltekit SSR

@613jono cool

@adamhendron I clicked the link and it looked like you spent 6 hours on it.

 

[adamhendron]

@kmfm0122 Thanks for confirming my claim that I only spent 6 hours on it. Looking forward to the next 6 hours

@adamhendron PHP, what a legend.

 

[adamhendron]

@marcobritton legends never die

 

[lazyitis]

@adamhendron your the second person I seen use php for saas, legend

 

[santana27]

@lazyitis What are the most used languages for SAAS?

 

[lazyitis]

@santana27 Python or JavaScript, but different frameworks are used for each language. Such as next or astro for javascript.

PHP is an old language and its rarelly used in todays world but is so much better than javascript. People use javascript or python just cause its easier to use and learn, also there is many frameworks to chose from.

 

[santana27]

@lazyitis Thanks for the details.

Python and JavaScript are also easy to scale.

I am a Rails developer. Developing web application in Ruby on Rails is very fast.

@adamhendron you build a page to do NPS surveys? isnt this something that 80% of businesses do already with sms, mail, web, phone?

@splendidseraphim You’d be surprised how many businesses don’t do it
