Developing FanAlarm

FanAlarm

Hello I am a laid off developer who is now working on my side project FanAlarm.ca and I decided to blog the whole experience.

What is FanAlarm?

FanAlarm is a site/app that will help you track your fav artists and alert you when they're on tour

What have I done ?

I have started working on the app and I can get you to sync with Spotify, I am currently working on web crawling so I can get artists tour dates as soon as they happen

I wanted to see if anyone was interested in the idea I've gotten

Yes they'd be interested

Theres apparently already some apps that do the same thing

What does that mean for me?

Well I had never heard of these apps and so clearly they don't work that well, and also clearly there is a market for an app like mine.

I recently was listening to the startup podcast by gimlet and apparently there was this guy who his whole idea was to make an app but make it better so he made a Spanish bible app when he's atheist and now he makes 6 figures.

So if I believe in the app and am the target audience and I think those apps could have improvements than I think I could get some success. I have gotten some feedback from people would love more feedback and will be working on my site and the app part of it using that feedback to improve it and sell myself better.

Next Steps: I got approved to start a kickstarter campaign to see if I could make this my primary job. But I am scared to fail (so I haven't started my campaign yet), which I have heard from the indie hacker podcast that I need to fail in order to succeed. But it's still scary especially when everyone can see your failure. I don't even know how I would get enough followers to support me And then it's the fear of succeeding and letting everyone down. I guess thats a big life question that could also be found in the we're not really strangers cards. Are you more afraid of failure or success ?

🤯 Struggling to Find Great SaaS Ideas? Here's My Journey! 🧠

Hey fellow Founders! 👋

I wanted to share my journey of battling the notorious "Idea Drought" in the realm of SaaS. 💡 As someone who's been there, I totally understand the frustration of not being able to conjure up killer SaaS ideas. But fear not, my friends! 🤯

In my 10th-grade days, I dreamt of building an online marketplace - an ambitious endeavor for a young, clueless mind! The struggle for fresh 0-1 ideas was oh-so-real. Fast forward five years, armed with coding skills and introduced to Producthunt, Betalist, TechCrunch, and Twitter - my eyes were opened to the universe of SaaS. 🌌

Ah, the magical Indie hacking community! 🌐 It was here that I truly grasped the essence of SaaS. And let me be honest, I haven't walked the marketing or tech job path. Unlike the folks who discover ideas from their own pain points, my journey was more about immersing myself in the startup cosmos, observing trends, and soaking up inspiration.

The result? 🎉 nicheprowler.com was born! 🚀 It's a SaaS ideas hub and analysis tool that I crafted based on my community experiences. I religiously visit Producthunt, staying in the loop with the SaaS and tech world. 📈

Now, here's the thing – formulating a brilliant SaaS idea takes time. It can stem from work experience, personal frustrations, or even drawing inspiration from the vibrant community around us. 🌍 So, if you're grappling with this conundrum, you're not alone. Share your story! Whether you're swimming in the sea of idealessness or passionately building something remarkable, I'm all ears. Let's ignite this discussion! 🔥

FanAlarm May 27th

This is the blog of a dev trying to develop a concert alert app.

fanalarm.ca Updates on my little site.

Because I didn't want to think about backend programming anymore and how i'm getting the data for my app (I was thinking about scraping but scrapping wasn't working that well for me)

I started working on the front end of the second page in fanalarm. which is once you've integrated to Spotify it show's you your top artists

So my dev branch now has two whole pages. I mean I still have to make the second page responsive but low and behold that as soon as I finished making the page (still not responsive) I got bored and wanted to work on the original problem: How am I getting this data?!?! I already had a bit of data from scraping but I needed to move my mysql db to the cloud instead of being on my local machine. (Because I can't use that if I want other people to be using my site) So I made a mysql db on AWS RDS and I am hoping this solves my problems for now. Although it was a little complicated and I am super thankful to ol' trusty ChatGPT for getting me through some hard times. And now I am back to square one HOW DO I GET THE DANG DATA?? scraping seems smart because I want to get the information first than my "competitors" (aren't I so cool ? I have competitors!!) But to initially get to the same space as those nice competitors I started looking up what APi's there are out there and low and behold there are a lot of APi's with the data I need.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME? 1. always look up what apis are out there cause it might save you a lot of time 2. I might just use all the apis out there and then add onto this data and just use their data as a starting point 3. I am finally getting somewhere More and more as I go through my idea and see how well my competitors are doing in comparison to me at solving this idea the more this looks like a Goliath like obstacle. But then this turns more and more into a passion project than a startup and that apparently is sometimes the best viewpoint to have. Do anything and everything because you enjoy it not because you need to. (or so I have heard in many inspirational podcasts) But I hope that my solution will be THE solution because it doesn't seem like the competitors are a household name or something that everyone knows about. Because there must be reasons as to why I had never heard of them or why whoever has used them doesn't continue to use them and I am here to find out why and then solve these problems in my own app!!!

Welcome to Moopt

Moopt equips operational researchers with the skills and tools to analyze, model and solve real-world optimization problems.

Hey everyone! I’m Kai. I'm a full-stack developer with actuarial statistics background. I had been building backend systems and web applications for more than 10 years. I’ve worked on all kinds of algorithms for professionals, especially in both logistics and public sector.

I'm deeply passionate about building optimization models and data visualization that help businesses automating their supply chain planning.

I love the thrill of constructing elegant logical creations and teach people about them. It feels a bit more like being in the driver's seat of an alien spacecraft and very engaging.

Previously, I founded CloudStat, one of the earliest cloud-based on demand statistical platform for big data analysis and application deployment, using R and Hadoop. Then, I had been staying with Croakun and CoEnzyme as Technical Director and Technical Sales Director respectively for 10+ years in total before moving on to launch Moopt.

In the last decade, I witnessed many startups, organizations and even small businesses adopting Decision Optimization solutions. But I quickly learned that there was a lot of confusion around how Decision Optimization was being used in business and how to get started.

I created Moopt to be a resource for aspiring operational researchers. Moopt is a platform that educates, inspires and helps each of us achieve our Decision Optimization goals one hack at a time.

My goal with Moopt is to help you learn Decision Optimization through simple terms, plenty of real-world examples and helpful illustrations. Equip you with the skills to analyze, model and solve real-world problems in operations research and optimization.

At the same time, I wish to provide a more user-friendly end-to-end optimization applications development and deployment platform. So that, you can build models, test and integrate as a working application in hours - not days, to start making optimal decision.

Welcome to Moopt. It is just the beginning. Stay tuned!

WOW! Funnel and Persona Analysis for LinkedIn Comments Widget

I created a WOW! Funnel with Persona Analysis for my LinkedIn Comments Widget MVP.

Hi! It's Kai Chew here. I’m Technical Sales Director of Optimiser.com and the project manager for Load Plan Optimiser (LPO). During time off, I'm working on a 3rd party embeddable comment plugin (think Facebook Comments, Disqus, SpotIM, .. etc) based on LinkedIn.

TL;DR

Selling to LinkedIn users through Web.

Having a LinkedIn Community of Customers right on my Web.

I don't know how to embed the LinkedIn Comments Widget!

I don't know how to write high quality contents that will make my customers engage!

Selling to LinkedIn users through Web

I'm a logistics consultant who selling my services and products on my web. My typical customers are the planners or managers of small logistical enterprises. They are professional and LinkedIn users.

Having a LinkedIn Community of Customers right on my Web

By adding a single line of code once, my customers can leave the comment with their LinkedIn account immediately. LinkedIn users are more credible than other social networks. I can know more about them through their job title and a link to their LinkedIn profiles. I can have a community of professional users with high quality comments right on my website.

By commenting, they can share our products/services to LinkedIn immediately, generating more traffic to my website and then possibly sales!

I don't know how to embed the LinkedIn Comments Widget!

The first problem is I cannot code, even though it is just a single line of code and need to do it for only once. I don't know how to embed this LinkedIn Comments Widget on my website even after reading the step-by-step guide of adding this widget to Tumblr or Wordpress.

Kai Chew: I can embed the widget for you! Just give me a one-time access to your Content Management System (CMS). Once it's ready, you can turn-off my access immediately. I will not do anything else without your permission.

I don't know how to write high quality contents that will make my customers engage!

If I don't produce high quality logistics related contents, I cannot attract customers to visit my website, let alone leaving comments and sharing to LinkedIn! However, I cannot run from this, content is the long term way to establish brand and communicate with customers. Else, some competitors will do it for me and take my shares.

Kai Chew: I can help you to create contents that resonate with your readers. If you're in very high technical industry, I can link you to some researchers and content writers.

Besides that, we will work together to drive professionals to read, comment and share your website through many growth hacking tactics. It will take time but the best time to start is Now!

If you’re interested with my progress, remember to follow me and subscribe my mailing list. Leave a comment below or email me personally at kaichew(at)sensq(dot)com to let me know what you think.
