Just buy gpt-4 + github copilot/cursor for 2x$20

Yeah, and just let it build your entire startup for you while you sleep. 20 days in, you will have six figure revenue. /s

Aren't we talking about starter templates? Is there anything in the OP's product that makes you think it would attract a six figure revenue?

My worry with this kind of thing is that some random dependency will break and there will be no easy solution. Compiling Python to JS seems like a very fragile process. And if people run into bugs, they will need to debug a very specialized and unusual toolchain.

If you're going to go all-in on one language to build an entire SaaS product, JS seems like a much safer choice. There's no Django-for-JS yet, as far as I know, but when there is, it'll be a no-brainer.

No contact info or something similar? How do we distinguish this from a "scam" site, if we do not have anyone to hold accountable? Social Media accounts do not count.

It's a crypto hustler thing, they create twitter accounts "BowTiedX" and try to grow their following (they follow each other too) and make money online as fast as possible.

The buy-now page doesn’t load on safari (so I can’t check out the price) - but in general if you do the heavy lifting by using existing free Python tools you’ll have a hard time selling a framework that’s supposed to make things “easier”. The promise to never touch html, css and JavaScript usually means you have to learn some other tool that it limited in features or scalability so at the end you invested a lot of ti…

Will need to look into the Safari issue. Thanks for the feedback.

If I can't find even the juristriction I'm entering a contract with I usually bail. I wish at least the payment provider would force sellers to reveal the name and address on the checkout page. Neither on the website or the checkout page it's even clear if '$' is US Dollar. On the checkout page it's not clear what currency my credit card is billed with!

Will certainly clear up the pricing section. Yes, "$" is supposed to indicate US dollar.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

PySaaS uses the Pynecone web framework rather than Django or Flask. This allows you to build the entire stack in a single language instead of having to learn and switch between multiple. You can install and import any Python library as you would with any Python file. The frontend is compiled down to a NextJS app, and FastAPI is built-in for the backend. UI components are fully-customizable, and are actually wrappers…

This sounds very scary :/

4000 followers on twitter with zero tweets. None seem to be software developers. This project is giving me more red flags than it should.

Just did a little "research" on op, it tingled an array of other red flags
