Thank you - It uses AWS Lambda. I started out using remotion, but I ran into some issues and just wanted control over it so I wrote my own rendering engine similar to remotion targeted towards my use case. This part took me about 1 1/2 months and still needs work with the UX.
but this will cost you money, you need to charge users. Maybe give a number of renders for free (like 50 render every month for free) and charge for extra renders
Indeed. I think a number of free renders or something like that would be a great idea once it becomes cost prohibitive for me. I hope that becomes a problem ;-)
I think SaaS platforms will increase year after year, so the real skill a founder needs to learn is not how to build or how to come up with the perfect idea, but how to market.
imo, the quality of the product doesn't need to be so perfect, only the necessary what users are expecting is enough, but if you had a perfect marketing strategy you can sell anything, and I learned that from "stanley water bottle", they managed to wash people's minds to buy a f*cking water bottle for 70$, or I guess it was even more than that when it was trendy
bro you feel depressed and you have built a successful business that pays x2 your salary, I'm wondering what successful business could you build if you were motivated.
I'm not a depressed person and I never had success with building a side project that actually makes money.
I came to conclusion in the last months that it's not about loving to do a thing to become successful in it, it's just doing!
2 years ago I started my journey as a solo indie hacker, but I never succeed in delivering a product, I have a computer with +20 half finished apps.
I decided to start small this time, instead of making a huge app, maybe I start with something very simple just to see how things are working and get a little of motivation.
So I created ReactEmojis, a ReactJs package to integrate animated SVG emojis into your landing page or react app.
Not sure if people would use those on their landing pages, if I am likely to use them, it will be inside my apps (after customer purchases, when they perform an action, when they get a notification, etc.).
