5 Things I Learned While Doing My First Startup (as a software developer)
Last week I finished my first SaaS startup Beeeper. After five months of ups and downs, I decided to share my 5 tips or lessons I learned from this undertaking.
Prerequisite
This was my first startup meaning I did everything by myself as a solo developer. I had a lot of prior experience working with various products. It’s not like I jumped into doing things without knowing stuff. As of the time of writing this article I spent 7 years playing for team devs.
I started working on Beeeper exactly on January 1st, 2022 and to be honest, almost all 5 tips were known to me before I started — I’ve just chosen to ignore them somehow, like most the people. I am writing this to emphasize how important they are.

Beeeper is a communication tool designed to help clients notify workers about things. I say things on purpose because business owners can define what kind of notifications their employees can receive. Everything is based around QR codes combined with push notifications.
