Building a Nuxt.js SaaS in less than a week (with Harlan Wilton)

34 min • 4 april 2024

Welcome to the second episode of DejaVue - and the first one with a guest! Michael and Alex are joined by Harlan Wilton, an open-source developer from Sydney, Australia who is not only into backpacking and Nuxt.js but also builds amazing tools and applications. Harlan is discussing with Alex and Michael how he built his SaaS Request Indexing in less than a week with Nuxt, which stack he used exactly, what it does and shares tips on how to stay focused and make sure your app actually ships.

The best? The SaaS is open-source!

Tune in for an interesting conversation around using Vue.js and Nuxt.js in the wild.


Post Podcast Update from Harlan

After the recording, Harlan took a break from working on Request Indexing due to other commitments. But there is also a good news - Request Indexing got the first paid monthly users now netting $60 per month. Harlan is also working on a big pivot on it, which will be announced soon. Stay tuned!
