To be honest. I want to build my company this way only. When I get product market fit and I have insights that we can grow up exponentially by burning money I won’t mind doing it. But this is very hard to pitch to a VC. You want to be honest but that honesty rarely converts into a fund raise.
Hi, you could drop an email to [email protected] and we will be happy to onboard you. Please add target geography like you would like to target Indian market or US market
I feel such comments doesn’t help anybody. A language or framework can make the most difficult part of your app easy, it’s not meant to make overall app development a piece of cake. Ex: Phoenix framework can help you build apps with real-time communication easier. A PHP Laravel can help you get basic SASS crud app faster and cheaper. Building a robust real-time application using PHP will always be harder than Elixir / Phoenix.
For the above mentioned example of warehouse and connectivity issue, I don’t know how elixir Phoenix will have troubles and PHP will make it seamless. With bad connectivity any application will find it difficult to connect to server. Whether you do it over web sockets or http doesn’t matter.
First steps can be to use git diff and select what’s changed. Bulk of the heavy lifting will still be responsibility of ORM (sqlc). Later on this experience can be streamlined.
If you’re not coding and you want an MVP you need to act like a manager. Document everything, do code reviews. These activities will also consume time and will depend on the developer you’ve hired. It will be hard to find a good developer at low hourly rates
I guess the challenge for MS wasn't to make native app on multiple platforms but to beat the competition i.e Slack as fast as they can.
They operated like a startup. Used electron, reached to market fast, gained traction. Now they can thing for performance improvements.
Note: Most of the users using MS Teams are not startups but listed companies. That's a constant source of revenue. Tapping that segment with not so shitty electron app has worked wonders for MS
Flutter won't survive long. The whole point of cross platform dev is to pull better apps with limited resources. An app without backend is nothing. JS is web native language, it will always be easier to code Node JS backend than to code using Dart. 1 indie developer with one skill set can pull off an end to end app. Dart seems to be competing with Javascript only that too in
client side dev, totally ignoring JAVA, Kotlin and Swift.
