Save Code Snippets
It’s frustrating to dig through old projects trying to find the one piece of code that worked last time.
Why not create a Chrome extension to store your code snippets?
Example: thiscodeWorks is a great tool for this purpose.
If you’re a beginner, break the project into these manageable parts:
- Select and fetch text from a website.
- Store the text in a database.
- Apply syntax highlighting specific to programming languages.
- Offer options like copy, share, edit, etc.
Platform For Creators
Imagine a platform that combines everything a content creator needs: a website, blog, podcast, video tools, payment system, and customer support—all in one seamless interface.
Your platform would handle admin, billing, and tech, so creators can focus on their work.
Examples: Topmate and Substack are excellent inspirations.
Beginner Steps:
- Set Up a Basic Website
- Add a Blog Section
- Integrate Podcast and Video Hosting
- Set Up a Payment System
- Implement User Authentication
- Add Customer Support Tools:
- Contact Form: Start with a simple contact form that sends messages to the creator’s email.
- Live Chat Integration: Later, you can integrate live chat tools
- Combine Everything with a Seamless Interface
Next Steps:
- Add Analytics: Integrate tools like Google Analytics to track user engagement.
- Expand Features: As you grow more comfortable, consider adding more advanced features like content scheduling, marketing tools, or community forums.
Now, I know there can be 2-5 hour-long videos for each of the steps I listed. I am just trying to make it less intimidating for you.
Getting And Managing Feedback
Getting honest feedback can be a real challenge, especially for startups.
But what if you could simplify this process by creating a platform dedicated to gathering and managing feedback?
Goal: Build a platform where startups can easily collect, manage, and showcase feedback, like testimonials, from their users or clients.
An example could be testimonials.
A few starting steps could be:
- Build a dashboard for startups
- Create a feedback form
- Allow startups to select the feedback they like the most
- Provide an embed option for these liked feedbacks.
I hope you found these ideas useful. I’ll be building these too and will share my process and codes here.
Stay tuned and Keep coding.
