Why Build in Public?
Building in public isn't just a marketing strategy—it's accountability. When you share your wins and failures openly, you attract people who resonate with your journey.
My Stack
I'm building everything with:
**Astro 7** — Zero JS by default, perfect Lighthouse scores
**Tailwind CSS 4** — Rapid styling
**Cloudflare Pages** — Free hosting, global edge
**DodoPayments** — Merchant of Record, India-friendly
**Turso** — SQLite at the edge, free tier
The Portfolio Approach
Instead of building one big SaaS, I'm building 24 small products. Each targets a specific niche:
**NameAPlanet** — Name a star for someone you love
**BuyAMoon** — Claim a fictional moon crater
**StartupGraveyard** — Tombstones for dead startups
**FlipAFate** — Let fate decide your decisions
And 20 more...
Revenue Model
**One-time purchases:** $4.99 - $79.99
**Subscriptions:** $1.99 - $19.99/month
**Target:** $50 MRR in 4-6 weeks
Lessons Learned
**Start with SEO** — Every product needs a keyword strategy
**No free plans** — Marc Lou's lesson: free users don't convert
**Automate delivery** — Webhook → download, no manual intervention
**X is distribution** — One tweet after each completed task
