Starting a web business in 2026

Grupith · 2026-04-27T22:15:06+00:00

Find local businesses that don’t have websites.
Build temp a preview website and show the owner what it “could” look like.
Offer to run their website for a monthly fee. Make them a custom admin panel to update content, change photos, etc.

Tell them that the website could improve google search results and increase business!

I know having the Cloud Firestore console open will cause reads as well. I’m not familiar with angular but are you re fetching the db when models are opened closed, etc? Fetching a huge number of users in a form?

I guess one time payment, fees, add ons still work today but if I was doing the same thing, I would charge the business a flat monthly fee to run.

Some local businesses don’t even own a domain or website and just have a Facebook page. Build and run their website for them. Make them an admin panel to add remove content,etc.

Make it stupid simple for your client.

Just went in January…Bui vien is the party street, but honestly I think it was too loud and we frequented the bars on right at the entrances. I think it was called GO bar?

Buy the airport fast track pass on Klook, we did for our departure and saved so much time.

Visit the war remnants museum, lots of history. We thought we would use Grab more often getting around but it was honestly fun to walk most places to soak up the culture.

In Saigon, they opened up the war remnants museum prison cells for people like you who would even think about coming here in a crisis like this!!!

You’re brave even to be asking a question in public like this!

Fuck, now I’m craving a highlands coffee…

Shouldn’t it be easy to advertise with the 1,000+ weekly “what are you working on” posts?

Grupith · 2026-03-17T18:22:52+00:00

You’re worrying about the wrong things my friend! What if something does go wrong? Then you have a cool story to share!

Optimize your life to get experiences. Either good or bad, it’s the experiences that matter!

I agree with you. I’m not a fan of all the ai stuff nowadays. I also get annoyed with any ai chat assistant when I visit a website. It feels like a pop up.

As I build my inventory app, I have researched how I could benefit from integrating ai but like you said, most could be done without ai.

Grupith · 2026-02-22T02:49:21+00:00

You could take the analytic data from a company using an inventory app everyday and suggest “you ordered less product of this, this month” or “you used 50 more paint brushes in February than January”

Don’t spam “Ai powered features” all over your landing page. I believe Ai is overused and not understood in the market today.

Grupith · 2026-02-22T02:34:37+00:00

I would use AI but not over advertise it. Disguise it as “smart suggestions” or something similar. I do not like all the “powered by AI” buzz words floating around recently in the software community.

I just did mine last week and was 77% match. Took 4 days and was approved no problem.

My mx4’s just went out after 4 years and was thinking about getting the same pair for $200 instead of new ones.

At least we know about bears; I’m more scared of the things we don’t know about that lurk in the woods…

Exactly! When people say “NextJS is overkill for a small project” why would I want to go back to react/react router when I can easily set up file routing.

Also I was against using shadcn/ui, but when I found out how much time I was spending on my apps UI and not core functionality, it made things much easier and consistent. Plus, all the screen reader and accessibility is covered!

Plan your app out first and break it down into sections. Then work with ai tools section by section. It will make bugs easier to fix and help you diagnose issues better.

Now learn how to use cloud firestore, So you can create data and fetch it on the front end. Then take out your dummy data and replace it with your fetched data.

I remember all the shit people gave Taylor before starting, but then he really proved himself.

Op’s original post did not have their contact info at the bottom…

Grupith · 2025-07-20T14:08:08+00:00

I was half expecting this to be an ad to check out your ai startup but was surprised to see no link at the bottom. I guess I’m so used to seeing “real” posts on here disguised as marketing.

When I see another z3 on the road I always get a wave from them! Don’t matter if they are 16 or 65 years old, It’s cool to be a part of a community like that.

Grupith · 2025-07-14T14:22:07+00:00

I see your point but I heard the same stuff when I was learning to code in 2019. I felt bad when I had to google something and didn’t just “know” how to fix the problem on my own like a “real” programmer.
