newCo Toolkit - Find the best tools to start a side project, without code 🛠

by•

This guide gives recommendations from tools I test and use to build side projects quickly, without code 🤩. If you're looking to build and launch a side project then this site is perfect for you. I release weekly videos showing how I use these tools (and many more) to build side projects and clone real-like apps like Airbnb, Uber, Yelp etc

I love how Ben is lowering the barrier to entry for shipping side projects & MVP's. As someone who spent years writing way too much code and it never being used, I totally see the value in decreasing time from hypothesis —> test. This toolkit is a great little place that I'm sure I'll be referencing as we look to quickly test out our hypothesis at my new startup.

As a non-coder myself, I know how hard it has been starting something new. The tools and content Ben is creating will help anyone at any stage build that idea that's been running around in their head with zero code.

Pros:

Easy to digest content, built on experience with support all the way through.

Cons:

None!

@bentossell This is awesome. This is exactly what I needed when I was trying to complete my MVP for the product I am building. So that I can show it to user and get the first feedback. It would have been great if I could see some sample videos before paying for subscription so that I know what to expect. I am sure you would have that in pipeline.

As a fellow non-technical maker, I love what Ben is doing to help people make their ideas come to life. Nice work Ben :)

This is awesome, @bentossell! As a developer that gets pitched almost daily, I'll definitely be recommending this as a resource for the not-as-technical folks to get their idea in motion. The other side of side projects that I field questions around seems to be coming up more and more as well: incorporation + operations. GDPR is a big one that affects side projects that are published on the internet, so understanding when + how to go about limiting your personal liability is fairly important these days. Is there room/plans in the newCo Toolkit for these things? A few services I've recommended along these lines that might be helpful for others: * iubenda for privacy/gdpr consent: https://www.producthunt.com/post... * seed.co - free business bank account: https://www.producthunt.com/post... * Atlas by Stripe (although $500 might seem expensive for a single fledgling side gig): https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Congrats @bentossell . What did you use to build the newco.app site? Webflow?

@bentossell thank you for adding Tilda @obukhov_nikita in the Toolkit. Tilda also has the great emails constructor, so might be good place in Blog/Newsletter/Podcast, also https://sendgrid.com 😉 And Icons8 team (@visualpharm) has great products https://icons8.com/ https://photos.icons8.com/ https://icons8.com/sounds https://icons8.com/music/

Everyone is going to have their preferred stack, but Ben puts everything in one, easily accessible place. Tools are always evolving; new ones being introduced, old ones neglected. This is a great starting place for modern, easy to use tools.

Pros:

Great summary of pretty much anything you would need to build out an idea.

Cons:

None

Always impressed by your ability to ship products without being an engineer, love that you're helping others to do the same. 🙌

Wow. This is amazing. Thanks a lot, Ben. Keep doing what you do best. :) I made a community management related job board (and I'm getting great traction as well) and it was totally inspired by your idea of building MVPs without even have to code. Next up on my list is curated resources thing.
