Shownotes Transcript

On the 12th episode of my podcast Code & Conquer, I interviewed fellow πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ German indie hacker Jonathan Wilke about his product Supastarter β˜„οΈ - a starter kit for building SaaS apps with Next.js.

Jonathan shared how he started by creating Supastarter to solve his own needs. It includes authentication πŸ”, payments πŸ’°, subscriptions πŸ“„, internationalization 🌍, and more for SaaS apps.

He said Supastarter now makes πŸ’΅ more than his day job through one-time purchases, not recurring revenue. We discussed his marketing tactics πŸ“ˆ, pricing πŸ’², competing products πŸ‘€, and future plans πŸš€.

We geeked out over the technical details - Next.js, TRPC, Prisma, Lucia, Radix UI, Tailwind. Jonathan talked about keeping up with new frameworks ⏩ and developer experience issues.

An insightful convo about his journey building Supastarter in the indie hacking community! Tune in to hear moreπŸ˜ƒ
