Safari because it syncs my passwords and tabs with my iPhone. And because I do native iOS development with embedded web views - which you can only debug with Safari.

I went solo about 2.5 years ago and Twitter has surprisingly filled that gap for me. I ruthlessly prune the folks I’m following which makes me enjoy the space way more than if I followed a ton of folks. The relationships go so far as to mee

Hey there, I’m the solo-founder of railsdevs! Thanks for sharing my site. Since I launched in November I’ve placed 10+ Rails developers with gigs. About half for full-time roles with salaries ranging from $100k to $200k. For context, cold m

I use Turbo Native on iOS to do exactly this. You render your mobile web view like normal, wire up a JavaScript handler (formerly known as Turbolinks), and push native screens on iOS. It works really well for CRUD and "boring" SAA

I'm in charge of Jumpstart iOS! It's a similar template but for Turbo Native-powered iOS apps. Jumpstart takes care of a _lot_ of the boilerplate code in building a saas. I think it's worth the investment, but I'm involv

Appreciate it – thank you!

Ha, I'm with you there. But everyone I spoke to said it resonated so I kept it.

I'm confident that it will continue to be a successful product. Lot's of the paying customers have been around since the beginning and churn is pretty low, especially for a $9/mo service.

It's supported on any platform that works with Open Graph tags, which is most social networks. Twitter was the primary target because I spend most of my time there and that's where my audience is.

Maybe! I just didn't have the appetite. And I know that the folks who bought it do – so let them grow it to what it can be.

by joemasilotti 5y ago
Huh, that's a really good point. I never thought about it like that! To farther prove your point, my audience is also entirely on Twitter, so building in public worked really well _for me_.

I didn't build this app on it, but if I did it again I would probably use Jumpstart. https://jumpstartrails.com There's also an open source version that handles a good chunk of the stuff needed to get a Rails saas up a

I sold the domain, the IP, the design, and the marketing tactics along with the code. What more is there in a company?

At the time of sale it was doing $218 MRR. And why gatekeep? It sold, right?

by joemasilotti 5y ago
$218 MRR and damn proud of it, too!

I wish I had that data... sadly I didn't time track for this in the beginning when I was working on it the most. But in the end I was definitely making less than $100/hour before the sale.

This new template from Jumpstart helps you "port" your Rails app to iOS, powered by Hotwire and Turbo. We've been working on it for a while and are really excited with how it turned out. The template includes native authentic
