AWS, cloudflare workers, supabase? What’s yours?

How many of us (I'm obviously in) have built software because we needed it for ourselves? Example: automating scheduled invoicing from contracts, a commenting system, and a form generator. And then...find out that it only solves MY problem. I can count around a dozen times and got a dozen useless domain names to show for it 😲 Then what? I still need the tool, can I generalise it for the market? Is it even worth trying?

So this is - I guess - the first post. Where do I start… Hmm… I was never great at creative writing… Damn… Just write something. Ok… It’s a grey summer morning here in London. Just past 9am. As it’s mid-summer in Britain, I’ve opted for my ‘slightly less thick’ fleece today. I don’t want to catch a cold after all. I have just made the first of 8 cups of tea that I drink on a daily basis after spending the last hour conceptualising and creating this community at my kitchen table. Now I’m just doing that ‘thing’ when you look at the settings of the profile that you just created - fine tuning the commas and removing / adding words. I’m trying to match the fragments of the compulsive vision of the idea for this community that I had in my head an hour ago with the words on my screen. Now - doubt has started to set in, I’m starting to think that this might not work. But f*ck it - at least I’m giving it a go. If it fails it’s just another item in the list of many that no one will ever see - so I have nothing to lose. So…👇 My name is Connor. I am originally from Wales (the town deadpool owns) and I have a wife and 2 dogs. I really like life. I’m definitely not a ‘glass half empty’ sort of person and I am extremely grateful for everything that I have. In short, I count myself as very fortunate. However - I do have this one slightly annoying problem. The only subject that I really like talking about (other than the problem that my SaaS solves)… Is ‘SaaS’. So unfortunately for me, when it comes to discussing subjects like ‘which is the most optimal pricing strategy for a post-trial transportation and logistic SaaS app’ my wife doesn’t share quite the same enthusiasm as I do. Come to think of it - neither do any of my immediate friends! So my only resort has been the r/SaaS subreddit, which I post and engage with regularly. However there’s a new - more ‘recent’ problem… AI. It seems that the ‘hustle bro’ culture has worked out that the narrative of vibe coding an app and marketing it on TikTok makes a ‘technically’ believable story - so full steam ahead they are going.
