SaaS Project Kit with Rails


from Zero to Hero by building 7 projects
made for Startup Founders, Solopreneurs, Marketers & Freelancers





Inspired Indie Hackers who turned their ideas into profitable startups with Ruby on Rails

Josh Pigford
@Shpigford
  • . Josh is most famous as the founder of Baremetrics - an analytics solution for SaaS companies with recurring billing.
  • . He created a Ruby on Rails app connecting to Stripe APIs to analyse customers' transactions and tried to ship it soon to validate his idea.
  • . Less than 6 months, he made $14,000 MRR (monthly recurring revenue).
  • . In 2020, Josh sold Baremetrics for $4,000,000 in cash.

Jon Yongfook
@yongfook
  • . Jon quit his job to pursue a more entrepreneurial life in 2018. He decided to try and launch 12 startups in 12 months.
  • . And the #8 seemed to worked out and that was the BannerBear - a Ruby on Rails app that creates APIs for image / video generation and processing.
  • . As of now, this startup is making $48,000 MRR with 500+ subscribers.

Laura Roeder
@lkr
  • . Laura was a digital marketer and she had a problem of posting different Tweets at different times to maximize exposure. She had to do this manually by hand, using spreadsheets and this process was time-consuming.
  • . That’s when Chris - Laura’s husban, who happened to be a Ruby on Rails developer - suggested that they build an app to automate the process. That’s how MeetEdgar was born.
  • . MeetEdgar generated more than $100,000 in MRR and was acquired recently for a 7-figure deal
Nathan Barry
@nathanbarry
  • . Nathan had an idea to build an email marketing tool built specifically for authors/bloggers like himself in 2013.
  • . That was where ConvertKit come from. To validate the idea, he hired a contractor to build the first version of ConvertKit as a Saas application in Ruby on Rails for the whole back-end and he himself worked on all the design and front-end code.
  • . It took him 10 months to reach $5,000 MRR. But now, after 9 years, it’s making $2.6M MRR.






Rails has done more for startups than a whole boatload of Venture Capitalists. Rails has had an incredible impact on the startup ecosystem.

Why is Ruby on Rails ideal for Startups?

📺 Ruby on Rails makes it easy and fun to build apps.

🧨 It is one of the best framework to prototype or build an MVP and ship faster so that it reduce the time-to-market of valuable products. It is the ideal for new startups which are looking for a startup friendly, cost-effective, flexible solution, especially for rapid application development.

🌎 Another super helpful thing is the flexibility and extensive open-source code libraries and projects (known as gems) in the Ruby community. This is a huge part that helps developers reduce the burden of coding everything from scratch.

Product-Oriented-Approach Benefits

In this brand new series, I will walk you through steps from design to develop different apps for different real busines idea with core functionalities from scratch.

You don't need to learn everything about Ruby, Rails, HTML, CSS, Javascript, or React Native to just create an application.

In my methodology which I called POA (Product-Oriented-Approach), you just need to learn what you need. This approach is far better than just boring theory of coding which leads you to nowhere.

Doing this way, it won't make you a superstar developer but will get you something REAL quickly and efficiently, especially for Entrepreneurs & Founders.



SHORT timeframe for your learning curve

You learn only MINIMUM tech stacks

You finish with a COMPLETED end-product
