I decided to create a newsletter to help entrepreneurs / founders to learn code, cloning features from apps and systems from famous startups.

Some examples of projects we can build:
- Stripe checkout feature (React, NodeJS, MongoDB)
- Twitter/X Feed (React Native)
- Doordash restaurant profile (React, NodeJS, MongoDB)

Context:

First of all, I want to express my sincere gratitude for all the feedback I received on my last post, which unexpectedly “went viral” right here on r/Entrepreneur. As a newcomer to Reddit, I’ve come to understand the incredible value a community can bring to one’s life.

🔗 View My Previous Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/17h0dv1/as_software_engineer_how_can_i_make_5k_additional/

Among the HUNDREDS of ideas and feedback, I engaged in numerous conversations through comments and messages. I meticulously analyzed each comment, considered every suggestion, and even scheduled meetings with potential partners (some are already lined up for next week).

In this relatively short time, a strikingly common issue has come to the forefront – an issue that originally inspired me to become a Fullstack programmer: the desire to innovate and create with technology, yet lacking the coding skills to bring those ideas to life.

I’ve received hundreds of messages, each offering proposals to collaborate on developing an idea or to join as a partner or CTO for early-stage startups with nothing more than a vision.

I firmly believe, and this sentiment is shared by the folks at Y Combinator, that great founders should possess the capability to build and launch their ideas without solely relying on hiring programmers.

Unless you’re fortunate enough to have a CTO partner or a trusted team member handling the technical side of your project (which is not the case for most), I invite you to read on.

It was during this period of reflection that an idea took root: The creation of a weekly newsletter. This newsletter would be dedicated to sharing my knowledge in a PRACTICAL manner by replicating features from major apps and systems created by well-known startups you’re already familiar with.

Now, you might be wondering:

👤 “Who are you to teach me?”

Allow me to introduce myself. I have over a decade of experience in software development, specializing in the following technologies:

- Frontend: React/NextJS- Backend: NodeJS/NestJS- Mobile (Android & iOS): React Native- Database: MongoDB / Supabase

These are the very technologies we will be using to clone and build our applications.

In the past, I had a YouTube channel in Portuguese (yes, I’m Brazilian) which I deactivated due to my inability to keep up with the demands of video recording and editing. However, you can still explore the projects I worked on, all created from scratch and streamed live:

- Uber Clone - DriverX:

- App for gamification of physical activity - Money Runners:
- 🎬 Full Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0EcYv-RhZ4&list=PL_Axpn7FrXHQgSCzyudTUngSnfb-PVeli

I won’t list them all here, but you can explore all the videos and playlists on my old channel 🙂

Now, the most exciting part:

💰 How much does this cost?

- It’s absolutely FREE! Of course, in the future, there might be some subtle announcements interspersed between email sessions, or the creation of a community where I delve deeper into the intricacies of each cloned or built feature. Perhaps we’ll discuss scaling as well, but that’s down the road…

🚀 Already, we’ve garnered over 100 members in just a few hours!

Join us and unlock the world of programming to turn your dreams into reality once and for all!
