My failed startup: Why it failed and why I’m releasing all the source code
- AJRF 6y agoAuthor here - Thanks for posting ve55! I decided to write this after reflecting on a failed project I created, Ottr (a local social network). I think that even though the project is "dead" there is a lot of value that can be built from its ashes. There are a lot of parts to creating a modern tech-stack or business that can sometimes a bit hard to see when you are going through a bunch of tutorials. I want this code to be helpful to beginners to understand how a full deployment fits together from the database, through to the API and how that API can drive client applications. I am currently writing a little bit on how to deploy this to AWS, how to install SSL certs and how to improve application performance in prod. I hope people get some value from it.
