I love your Startup, it's so different from everything else you see on youtube
It's really refreshing to see a neat and useful startup idea! Wishing you the best of luck.
I really like your videos. It gives me drive to stay on my chair 1-2 hours extra every day. And hearing about the way to go about building a web app really good. Thanks.
This guy must soon be a billionaire, each video, each multi million dollar startup build 😂.
😂
The world is changing very fast. I think your long term goal should be to become the CRM for creators. Every industry need to operate at 100% efficiency. So, general solutions like Hubspot Salesforce and so on, are not bring the special requirements with.
continuity, perseverance is the perfect mann You give inspiration other ent.s
Bro i really love your videos, they motivate me a lot to continue studying, I'm in my last year, I keep uploading videos like this!
It is super cool to follow your story in relation to your thoughts and ideas etc.
I love those videos, quality really improving! Keep it up!!!
Loved this one. More focused on the actual work and building, good stuff bro!
i really love yor startup videos, they give me a new way how to live as programmer
I recognise that office! Really miss working there, especially the trips to floor 2 for coffee and a game of pool 🤣
LITERALLY one of the highlights of my day :))
tysm for such good and creative content
you have got platform risk, lot of people went out of business with reddit and twitter api changes. That is why people build their own platforms. Think of this as a pull to get users and make sure your revenue is a split between different platforms and possibly something native too. Good luck great project and thanks for sharing
Shot from 2 different meeting rooms, that was dope!
You got me with that Subbb pop-up, went to reach my laptop to close an application
This is dope, looking forward to more vlogs
The free tier question is an interesting one. Personally I would consider using a ratio of free users based on plan level and have them not count against the total. Giving your users the chance at growing their income community while using free as a promotional tool would, I feel, net the highest opportunity to convert that user to a hire tier plan.
I would also want to offer users the quota to run a completely free community if that is their model, but that would mean they are still paying for your service.
There could also be the potential to have add-on models that allow you revenue options from free tiers that may allow you to expand your free plan quotas.
IMO, spending so much time on Free tier is just waste of resources, people either willing to use your product or they will never pay for it.
We been there, spend so much time for Free Tier onboard, upgrade/downgrade Free tier people who try to downgrade while they were using above Free tier limit...
For what? :D Free customers were only burning our resources.
@@dfsafsdafsdf800 When you have a direct path to value or an amazing offering skipping the free tier is 100% a great idea.
When you have such a low acquisition cost and at least outsider math says resource costs are low as well you have an opportunity to use the free tier as marketing, brand growth, activation, etc.
This becomes a different conversation at a later stage or if there isn't a conversion path, but again outsider looking in, seems like a very low cost investment to have opportunity.
jacob this is a very interesting idea but you do have competetion so making it free is a really good idea also i will be waiting for the telegram feature
This might be a bit random but it would be great to see what your routine is like outside of work, like how do you wind down at the end of the day, get all your beauty sleep, gym in the morning, that kinda stuff.
Quite possibly the best part of my day - Keep it up
There's a nice recording app for Mac, which is even called screenflow. One time payment and a good editor for not too fancy stuff.
Your videos and your startup are amazing.
lovely start up man
Hey mate, love the content. One thing that has been bothering me: creators aren't completely in control of when their communities take off. Your product's tiered pricing system creates a poor end-user experience if a creator approaches a pricing border and they're not immediately available. Suddenly they're turning away paying customers just because they've unexpectedly hit a pricing border. I know you mentioned in earlier videos that the users will get warning emails, but sometimes communities pop off (ie. some sort of viral moment) and your new pricing structure can cause them to lose potential sales forever. I'd suggest giving them a buffer of X amount of days once they've passed a pricing border before you stop allowing new members. This offers the best end-user experience, although it opens your platform up to a slightly higher risk of abuse.
Potentially could even add an auto upgrade function! ❤️
The amount of coding you get done while also maintaining this channel is impressive. What app did you use to make that demo video?
Custom edit! Just overlayed a video
I was here the other day! 🚀
Hi man, I have been following your documentary for a while now, I checked the site today, I think you might want to give a one liner explanation of who the platform is for, and how it works on the hero section, It took me while to fully understand what subbb is about until I went to the FAQs section.
I love your channel bro.
amazing bro, thanks for sharing your day with us
dont charge for free unless high amount - up to creator to monitze which is in there best intrest - only count paid - thats your customer / demo
- free subs dont charge as thats good top of funnel
for the free plan, dont limit to 15 users. Says 15 users free but if you have a free group charge one off fee per transaction. for example for adding/removing etc. Think spotify model
Another great vid Jacob! Aside, but I really love the tone / pacing / shots in your vids btw. Like casey neistat for dev tubers. Where did you learn how to vlog? :D
Cool, ngl man i just love your energy.
not the fridge raiders!! xD
Do you create the Ui yourself? It looks amazing. If so what do you use to create the Ui? Figma??
Loving the new page. Which UI Lib did you use ?
Suggestion: for the free tier, why not just keep it separate from subscriptions and not count it under the number of members the creator has? and then also just possibly bypass the whole payment processing flow and just give them instant access to whatever platform.
Love your vids sir
Just spilling water everywhere 😂
Bro I didn’t even know until the edit 😂
yuuh, a clean landing page
If I want to build a stock trading webapp in the future and I just started learning python, what is the best pathway to follow?
But do large creators use CRM? I thought thag was more enterprise clients or businesses.
Hi, Jacob! You use a paper notebook a lot. Have you considered replacing it with a modern device like Amazon Kindle Scribe?
Nope. I don’t like digital
What tech stack do you use if not a secret?

Were you working a normal job as developer before the startup? Did you have a part-time on both phase? Thankss
Full time developer
Hi, Jacob! How do influencers find Subbb? Through TH-cam or you have any other methods?
Would be interested to buy this if you add an integration for Telegram.
The current landing page is painfully slow. I can't even scroll in some sections. The animations have to go.
Awesome content! What kanban board are you using?
Notion

@@JacobSucksAtCode ty so much, i know you have a video how you plan your startup and features but you have any Notion template you are recommending to do it \ something changed from this video (almost 7 months ago).
Again ty for your comment!!!
First video I've seen, great vid! I'm a uni student looking for a technical founder for my business. How would I go about finding a cofounder? are there any platforms for this?
I see my city on your t-shirt, so of course, I will give you thumbs up and subscribe!!
Hi, im kinda confuse about what Subbb is about.
Does it works like Patreon?
Similar, except we connect platforms instead of

Hey man. Love your content. Do you think someone can get into coding right now with all that's going on in the industry? Thanks for any feedback.
Yes, absolutely
@@JacobSucksAtCode thank you.
a $10M startup?! did this figure appear to you in a dream?
Yesssir a very insightful dream
@@JacobSucksAtCode always trust your dreams
Hey Jacob, how do your clients find about your project?
You just did

Looks like he's touching the Nest.js. Go go go don't stop :)
what camera lens do you use mate?
This one is a 1.8f Sony 16mm
How do you even come up with an idea like this, surely the likes of discord and whatsapp don't allow this just via an open api?
Hey Jacob, I would love to be in your discord, I want to join your discord, though I'm getting some errors, think you could help with that?
What errors?
@@JacobSucksAtCode yeah, sorry to not mention it before, my MasterCard is getting declined, why could that be or do you think you can get me in?
@@yutishg ah that sounds like stripe blocking it!
@@JacobSucksAtCode Alright, hopefully, I'll see you in!
