duh. anything that surprised you?

there is a book by wes bush called "product-led growth: how to build a product that sells itself" [1] & also a great youtube channel [2]

you'll also like victor eduoh who nails the topic "product-led storytelling" i read his ahrefs blog & it was gold!

launching a company doesn't have to take years to take off.

just build a scrappy mvp in a week & find people who are willing to pay for it.

you say you are great with automation & making bots. someone just coded up an nft bot & sold it in 17 days [1]

nft is all the rage so you might be able to cook something similar & sell it on microacquire [2] which helps a lot of saas get a modest exit (< billion-dollar exit)

you can build a bunch of micro-saas & sell it on microacquire. of course, it's harder than i'm making it to be but start. hopefully, you might strike gold!

i think web3/crypto/nfts is a good space to be in for bots so find a problem there or check forums like reddit/discord/twitter where people talk a lot about web3/nfts or acquisition marketplaces like microacquire to get ideas as what people are building

Thanks for an interesting idea of building "a bunch of micro-saas", I like that.

> check forums like reddit/discord/twitter where people talk a lot about web3/nfts or acquisition marketplaces

Would you have any recommended links?

ask the guy who i linked to (the buildsell30 guy) but google is your friend. or reddit groups or twitter where people spam discord links. i know one called fractal discord by justin kan (twitch co-founder)

you have to literally do some manual work to get them. it'll be a grind but totally worth it imo.

Appreciated! Found a good starting point here:

Cool to see more competition to Headless UI [0] by the Tailwind guys

[0]: https://headlessui.dev/

There's also https://www.radix-ui.com/ which is excellent.

In what way is Headless UI 'headless'?

It doesn't come with any styling OOTB. The idea is that you're just building a frontend (all the markup, styling etc) around some provided state management

`react-table` is headless. I am forced to create my own html structure and am in control of the markup from the start. `headless-ui` provides those components which doesn't give me full control over markup, does it?

It gives you complete control over your markup and styling. Headless UI is designed to handle everything except what the components look like.

<Component as="some html tag"> is not full control :)

Styleless would be a more apt name.

This came before it I think, and even before that I know ReachUI and Reakit

I'd go for https://www.discourse.org/ if you are hosting a long-term project where SEO & UI matters.

If it's a dev blog, then go https://utteranc.es/ or https://giscus.app/

I use Giscus :)

Duolingo story is fascinating. The guy created a software which then became Google Captcha.

He is a legend in crowdsourcing 2 startups. The best part about crowdsourced startups are they inherently create MOAT.

You can use it to curate listicles.

Imagine your marketing department needs to create a list of websites that have run their PR campaign. They can keep that data in Airtable or Google Sheets.

The developer then displays on a simple webpage in a card like https://nomadlist.com

There are sites like https://sheet2site.com & https://table2site.com that automate this feature.

You can also create custom apps with it. https://pory.io/ automates it.

The next thing is building a full-blown civilization on Mars.

That's why Elon Musk wants to get so rich. You need like $1 trillion to build a sustainable city on Mars.

Rich people would pay $10m+ to go to Mars. It's a once in a lifetime ride.

- Instagram piggybacking off of Twitter & Facebook to grow their own network

- Imgur piggybacking off of Reddit & then grew into their own platform

- Red Gifs piggybacking off of Reddit NSFW sites to post short porn clips (idk if it'll be successful to monetize though)

This looks really good but your site example is down. Looks incredible though :)

thanks dude. fixed it :)
