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.
I wrote a short blog this week: Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal

Don't mistake early-adopter curiosity to try out your product with PMF and real demand. Early-adopters always try new products. How to be sure it's real demand? Look for stickiness and repeat usage over a time period.
