I have created a tool for talking characters simlar to what are being seen on tiktok and youtube etc. Used lipsync models for getting them.

True, any new task even though how tiny it might be, needs few hours to understand and get the local environment up. The onboarding of a new client requires some effort even if the same devs remain the same. So in the long run it comes down to niching down to specific workflows which are profitable and which is nothing but PMF. Given, most of the devs who I work with are from my network, the real challenge of confidentiality issues are a bit too early now. But at some point an NDA and his recent work ratings are some factors which could help in avoiding those issues. But again nothing is foolproof.

But stealing the codebase is going too far.

Good to know that you had a try at this. Thanks for the insights. True, I agree on the part that finding PMF is the biggest challenge and on the other hand the distribution part. Unless, we find and do better than the other players in atleast one aspect such as quality or pricing, it would not be straightforward.

Hello, Kiran here.

We have been working for the last few weeks on building TinyApps. A lot of us have come across situations where in we want to offload some of our work but at the same time we don't want to take the pain of finding developers, agencies and the cost that comes with it. This would help in focusing on our core work and at the same time get some bandwidth.

So, we are launching a platform where in you can post your tasks which could be just a bug fix, a simple infrastructure setup using terraform, a dashboard in react or anything related to software development for a fixed tiny price similar to the price of a coffee.

Unlike upwork, we only focus on software dev.

Would love to get any feedback and thoughts.

Hi All,

I am a solo founder with a decade of experience in front-end, backend, recommendation engines, observability systems, infrastructure setup etc. From October 2023 I started working full time on my dev agency to scale it. Given there are many dev agencies, to pick a niche and stand out from the crowd is no easy thing. One thing that we have did consistently is to push content, refine our target audience, change our landing page to focus our niche.

Marketing is something which takes up a lot of my time. I felt there was a need for something more specific and started building out MVP's for clients. makers and solopreneurs. jetspeedstudio.com is in that direction.. Here, I build MVP in flat 2 weeks at $999. Of course if you have a complex app, that varies. This journey is going to be interesting and I look forward to see how it goes.
