I found the video to be dishonest. "Watch Adrian build a booking app in less than an hour" is the title but if you actually watch any part it's clear that it's at best going at 2x the speed. Probably more like 10x honestly.
- adrianthedev 4y agoThe real-time building of the app was an hour and 10 minutes. I posted a screenshot with the recording below. That recording contains also some setup on my part, it's not just actual coding on the app. https://share.cleanshot.com/hPUskT https://share.cleanshot.com/hPUskT The 10x speed-ups were actually data-entry which definitely nobody wants to see in real-time or would benefit from. The 2x-3x speed-ups were for the generators and slow typing speeds. I know the tendency is to exaggerate things, but I'm not for that. I like honesty because it's not complicated. When one lies they have to keep that in memory for the next time :P So yeah, the video is sped up, but the message is correct.
- gls2ro 4y agoI don't understand your assertion here: If it is about the video on the homepage of the product, I just check it as it is a video with a total length of 15 minutes. It includes also an explanation of the problem he tries to solve. I really don't find it dishonest. I am not sure what speed is the code writing presented (could be 2x like you say) but really for me, it feels like knowing how to use Avo one could write that code in under 1 hour.
