In this episode, I reflect on my journey of building side projects primarily focused on SaaS (Software as a Service) and the exploration of alternatives such as desktop and mobile applications. As I walk along the beach, I discuss my experiences with technologies like PHP and Node.js and how advancements like React Native and Electron are opening new windows for app development. I share my thoughts on the challenges of video processing and storage in my current project, Dan Cuts, and my desire to shift towards building a local Electron app that minimizes reliance on subscription models. This also allows me to incorporate a different business model while keeping everything locally processed. Ultimately, I aim to break free from the SaaS box, explore other app development avenues, and improve my marketing strategy while growing my podcast subscriber base.
