Sunday Coffee - Sunday Coffee ☕️ #0040

Good morning

Welcome to the 40th edition of Sunday Coffee ☕️

It's always exciting to try something new. I'm doing that this weekend - a new video tutorial series about Webflow.

A lot of people reach out to me after reading my blog asking "what tech stack do you use".

They're surprised when I say, "it's just Webflow".

Them: "Must have taken a lot of time?"

Me: "Nope, actually 3-4 hours on one weekend."

Them: 🤯

So I thought - why not show you?

Sankalp and I talked to Diego Rios of Markeko about Micro-SaaS, Shopify apps and Programmatic SEO. We discuss:

• Designing your life from Ramen income to bigger problems.
• Use Google or Shopify autocomplete to come up with product ideas.
• What is Micro-Saas?
• Problem > Distribution > Product
• Why we don't write a single line of code until we know the needs/customer.
• Listen to your customers first before building new features.
• The best hack is hard work. If you roll the dice enough times, you will get lucky eventually.
• Programmatic SEO: how to build organic traffic and validate landing pages for B2B.

Sankalp wrote about managing API permissions using Django.
