Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a new approach: collaborative build sessions with my clients. Instead of the traditional asynchronous back-and-forth, we work together in real time for an hour or two each day, building and iterating directly on their project scope. The best part? Watching clients actively solve their own business challenges. This hands-on strategy bridges the gap between business and technology, fostering ownership and empowering teams to iterate and test new ideas long after our sessions end. Rather than pouring resources into disconnected development cycles, this approach enables clients to actively shape their software in real-time. I think the best approach is to combine a mix of both synchronous and asynchronous work to really accelerate development. But so far synchronous work is proving to be valuable.

We’re excited to introduce the Snappy Startup 🤖 — a streamlined setup experience where we configure your entire low-code/no-code tech stack in just a few days, using our Snappy Boilerplate for WeWeb and Xano. You'll get a robust, scalable foundation that frees you up to focus on what makes your project unique, without wrestling with the setup. This is a structured, expertly designed solution that gets you up to speed fast and sets you up for scalable and secure growth. If you're ready to get your entire system up and running in just a few days, shoot me a DM! Reach out if you're interested — we're opening limited spots for this initial trial run!

After all the great feedback @Daniel Migizi and I received from early beta testers, we have made huge upgrades to the documentation so that it explains every flow and integration in full detail, within the context of WeWeb and Xano! 🔍 What we've built: - Comprehensive system architecture documentation - Detailed database schema mappings - Step-by-step implementation guides - Visual flow diagrams for all integrations - Complete endpoint documentation with exact function steps 🛠️ Key features covered: - Authentication (Email, Google OAuth, Magic Links) - Payment Processing (Stripe Checkout, Subscriptions, Connect) - Email System Integration - Webhook Management What makes this documentation special is that it's specifically designed for the low-code context of WeWeb and Xano. Instead of loosely connected solutions, you get exact implementation steps that match how you actually work in these platforms. What would typically take weeks to implement can now be set up in a few hours, with confidence that every integration works exactly as intended. Looking forward to officially launching this week!

The question of "why WeWeb and Xano" comes up every now and then. Why not use an AI code editor instead? Based on our mental model developed with Ray Deck, the core reason is ownability. We have found that WeWeb and Xano are enjoyable for the client to learn how to use, because they empower the user to create software using a truly visual approach, which is completely different from the experience of building with traditional code. This has created an opportunity for the client's internal team to be trained in powerful new skills - skills that they actually want to learn, which is key for them to be able to take ownership of the project, and truly own their investment.

I was wondering I can use Snappy as non technical person?
