Developing FanAlarm

FanAlarm

Hello I am a laid off developer who is now working on my side project FanAlarm.ca and I decided to blog the whole experience.

What is FanAlarm?

FanAlarm is a site/app that will help you track your fav artists and alert you when they're on tour

What have I done ?

I have started working on the app and I can get you to sync with Spotify, I am currently working on web crawling so I can get artists tour dates as soon as they happen

I wanted to see if anyone was interested in the idea I've gotten

Yes they'd be interested

Theres apparently already some apps that do the same thing

What does that mean for me?

Well I had never heard of these apps and so clearly they don't work that well, and also clearly there is a market for an app like mine.

I recently was listening to the startup podcast by gimlet and apparently there was this guy who his whole idea was to make an app but make it better so he made a Spanish bible app when he's atheist and now he makes 6 figures.

So if I believe in the app and am the target audience and I think those apps could have improvements than I think I could get some success. I have gotten some feedback from people would love more feedback and will be working on my site and the app part of it using that feedback to improve it and sell myself better.

Next Steps: I got approved to start a kickstarter campaign to see if I could make this my primary job. But I am scared to fail (so I haven't started my campaign yet), which I have heard from the indie hacker podcast that I need to fail in order to succeed. But it's still scary especially when everyone can see your failure. I don't even know how I would get enough followers to support me And then it's the fear of succeeding and letting everyone down. I guess thats a big life question that could also be found in the we're not really strangers cards. Are you more afraid of failure or success ?

🤯 Struggling to Find Great SaaS Ideas? Here's My Journey! 🧠

Hey fellow Founders! 👋

I wanted to share my journey of battling the notorious "Idea Drought" in the realm of SaaS. 💡 As someone who's been there, I totally understand the frustration of not being able to conjure up killer SaaS ideas. But fear not, my friends! 🤯

In my 10th-grade days, I dreamt of building an online marketplace - an ambitious endeavor for a young, clueless mind! The struggle for fresh 0-1 ideas was oh-so-real. Fast forward five years, armed with coding skills and introduced to Producthunt, Betalist, TechCrunch, and Twitter - my eyes were opened to the universe of SaaS. 🌌

Ah, the magical Indie hacking community! 🌐 It was here that I truly grasped the essence of SaaS. And let me be honest, I haven't walked the marketing or tech job path. Unlike the folks who discover ideas from their own pain points, my journey was more about immersing myself in the startup cosmos, observing trends, and soaking up inspiration.

The result? 🎉 nicheprowler.com was born! 🚀 It's a SaaS ideas hub and analysis tool that I crafted based on my community experiences. I religiously visit Producthunt, staying in the loop with the SaaS and tech world. 📈

Now, here's the thing – formulating a brilliant SaaS idea takes time. It can stem from work experience, personal frustrations, or even drawing inspiration from the vibrant community around us. 🌍 So, if you're grappling with this conundrum, you're not alone. Share your story! Whether you're swimming in the sea of idealessness or passionately building something remarkable, I'm all ears. Let's ignite this discussion! 🔥

💡 From Hackathon to Startup: Turning Ideas into Real Ventures

Some of the world’s biggest startups were born at a hackathon. What starts as a weekend project can become your full-time business—if you know what to do next.

If your hackathon project solves a real problem, has potential users, and creates real value, it might just be your entrepreneurial launchpad.

Let’s explore how you can take that idea beyond the hackathon and build something that lasts.

🔍 Step 1: Validate the Problem, Not Just the Code

Winning a hackathon feels great. But before you jump into “startup mode,” ask:

Who is this really for?

Would people pay for this solution?

How is this different from what’s already out there?

Even if your hackathon idea is awesome, startups need product-market fit.

🛠 Step 2: Refactor & Polish Your MVP

Most hackathon projects are rushed—designed to demo, not scale.

Post-hackathon, take time to:

Refactor the codebase

Improve the UI/UX

Add missing features that matter

Fix bugs and performance issues

You’re no longer racing the clock. You’re building for real users.

📣 Step 3: Pitch to Accelerators, Not Just Judges

After the hackathon, explore:

College startup incubators

Local or national accelerators (like Y Combinator, Startup India)

Product Hunt, IndieHackers, or AngelList

Your hackathon pitch deck can be the foundation for a real investor pitch.

💼 Step 4: Register, Market & Monetize

Want to go full startup?

Register your business (as a solo founder or team)

Create a landing page or product site

Offer a beta version to early adopters

Start building your brand (Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletters)

Your hackathon demo is now your MVP. Make it work.

FanAlarm May 27th

This is the blog of a dev trying to develop a concert alert app.

fanalarm.ca Updates on my little site.

Because I didn't want to think about backend programming anymore and how i'm getting the data for my app (I was thinking about scraping but scrapping wasn't working that well for me)

I started working on the front end of the second page in fanalarm. which is once you've integrated to Spotify it show's you your top artists

So my dev branch now has two whole pages. I mean I still have to make the second page responsive but low and behold that as soon as I finished making the page (still not responsive) I got bored and wanted to work on the original problem: How am I getting this data?!?! I already had a bit of data from scraping but I needed to move my mysql db to the cloud instead of being on my local machine. (Because I can't use that if I want other people to be using my site) So I made a mysql db on AWS RDS and I am hoping this solves my problems for now. Although it was a little complicated and I am super thankful to ol' trusty ChatGPT for getting me through some hard times. And now I am back to square one HOW DO I GET THE DANG DATA?? scraping seems smart because I want to get the information first than my "competitors" (aren't I so cool ? I have competitors!!) But to initially get to the same space as those nice competitors I started looking up what APi's there are out there and low and behold there are a lot of APi's with the data I need.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME? 1. always look up what apis are out there cause it might save you a lot of time 2. I might just use all the apis out there and then add onto this data and just use their data as a starting point 3. I am finally getting somewhere More and more as I go through my idea and see how well my competitors are doing in comparison to me at solving this idea the more this looks like a Goliath like obstacle. But then this turns more and more into a passion project than a startup and that apparently is sometimes the best viewpoint to have. Do anything and everything because you enjoy it not because you need to. (or so I have heard in many inspirational podcasts) But I hope that my solution will be THE solution because it doesn't seem like the competitors are a household name or something that everyone knows about. Because there must be reasons as to why I had never heard of them or why whoever has used them doesn't continue to use them and I am here to find out why and then solve these problems in my own app!!!
