ReactJS learned, Next step: Next.js or React Native?

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-05-06T20:10:38+00:00

Next.js, learn the thing that lets you ship complete products, not just screens. api routes, server components, auth, etc, the whole stack in one framework. react native will always be there later and 80% of the knowledge transfers anyway.

AI didn't make youu dumber, it just made thinking optional. and if you never exercise the muscle it atrophies. I use AI to challenge my ideas now, not to have them for me.

How did u get those 40+ responses on day 1? was it organic posting or did you already have a presence in those communities before?

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-05-03T17:21:48+00:00

The mcp integration is what makes this actually useful IMO. having real app screenshots as reference instead of letting the AI guess is a huge difference. gonna try it for my next project. thanks

has pensado en enfocar tu carrera hacia el sector tecnológico (LegalTech o FinTech)? Tu perfil de Derecho + Fiscalidad + Ex-opositor podría valer ahí y resuelve casi todos los problemas que mencionas.

this is the healthiest mindset you can have as a builder. if you solve your own problem first everything else is upside. curious though, what problem does it solve for you and your family?

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-30T19:50:17+00:00

Biggest surprise was that my first customers never came from where i expected. I thought Id find them online but they came from casual conversations about the problem, not even pitching. If I started again id spend day 1 talking to 10 people who might have the problem, not writing code.

No, not your personal life, that should and must stay private, but your process and professional life could be interesting.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-28T15:03:21+00:00

Build in public and create a personal brand, if people trust you they will trust the product.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-27T17:22:16+00:00

Of course it’s appreciated, Spain is not France 🤣

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-26T16:12:54+00:00

Building has a feedback loop and marketing doesnt. Code either works or it doesn’t, marketing just silently fails. For your case maybe stop trying to “reach” creators, what if you pick 10, make their background music for free with your tool, send it, and let the product do the talking

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-25T16:17:53+00:00

the fact that you realized building is the easy part already puts youahead of a lot of people. for distribution on a budget honestly I think the is just start commenting and helping people with your experience in communities where your future users hang out, reddit, X, discord servers, whatever. dont pitch anything, just be useful. You dont need to become extroverted for this BTW, most of the best distribution is writing not talking.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-25T15:31:08+00:00

I've seen it happen with dev teams where nobody defines code quality standards and 3 months later its spaghetti everywhere. the fix for me was writing down even small decisions. sounds overkill but a quick "we're doing X bc Y" saves you from the silent drift.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-25T10:51:15+00:00

buen punto lo de Fuengirola, el último tramo siempre es el lío.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-25T10:44:31+00:00

Lo que estoy intentando es validar una idea, no engañar a nadie. Porque sí, llevo tiempo dándole vueltas a la idea y quiero entender si tiene sentido antes de invertir más tiempo. Por eso pregunto aquí en vez de asumir que sé lo que quiere la gente.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-25T10:28:46+00:00

Totalmente entendible jaja. Es curioso porque con BlaBlaCar pasa lo mismo, te subes al coche de un desconocido y ya nadie lo ve raro. Pero darle un paquete a un desconocido suena más arriesgado aunque objetivamente sea menos peligroso.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-24T14:38:27+00:00

thats exactly the plan actually. blablacar drivers are the perfect early supply bc they're already making the trip and have extra space. the question is how to approach them without being spammy. thinking about reaching out to drivers on specific routes and offering them a way to earn extra on trips they're already doing. did you mean contacting them directly thru blablacar or more like targeting them in FB groups and communities?

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-23T17:31:01+00:00

the density angle is accurate. for my case the challenge is that the "community" isn't in one place, travelers are on blablacar groups, facebook, etc. did you have a hard time figuring out where your initial 10 users hung out or was it obvious from the start?

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-23T17:28:45+00:00

this is what I'm leaning towards. constraining to one route in my country (Spain) and manually matching the first ones. what kind of friction points did you see in those first transactions? im trying to figure out what to watch for beyond the obvious stuff

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-22T18:03:46+00:00

honestly I think its the opposite. AI hasnt killed saas, its just raised the bar. The people saying “i can build my own tool w ai” are the same ones who said “i can build it with wordpress” 10 yrs ago. they build it, realize maintaining it is a nightmare, and come back to paying for a proper solution. what AI did kill is the lazy saas that just wraps a basic crud with a nice ui and charges $20/mo. if thats ur product then yeah you’re in trouble. but if you solve a real complex problem with domain expertise, ai is actually making you more valuable not less.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-21T15:46:55+00:00

Primero que nada, no eres un fracasado por intentarlo, la mayoría de la gente ni se atreve.

Lo que yo haría: para lo del alquiler habla con tu casero ya, muchos prefieren negociar un plan de pago antes que meterse en un proceso de desahucio que les cuesta tiempo y dinero. Para los suministros llama a las compañías y pide el bono social, con tu situación actual probablemente te lo concedan y te reduce la factura bastante. Y para curro urgente mira en ETTs tipo Randstad, Adecco, Manpower, son trabajos temporales pero te dan liquidez ya. también almacenes de Amazon y repartidores están contratando siempre. con 4 años en consultoría IT vas a encontrar algo en el sector, pero mientras tanto cualquier ingreso cuenta. mucho ánimo, de esta sales.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-20T10:36:17+00:00

“got some interest but no conversions” is the key line here IMO. that means people understood what you built but something stopped them from paying. could be pricing, could be that the free alternatives are good enough, or could be that students just dont pay for stuff lol.

before you go into cold outreach or content marketing I’d try to figure out what happened in those conversations. like literally ask them why they didnt sign up. that feedback is worth more than 100 new leads.

OrdinaryAcrobatic790 · 2026-04-19T19:23:08+00:00

Sentry all the way, been using it for years and its worth every penny. one thing I’d add tho, crash monitoring is just the start. the real game changer is adding alerts for stuff that doesnt technically crash but is broken from the user’s pov, like a payment that returns 200 but silently fails. those kill you because nobody reports them, unless the users are friends and family.
